I have been around horses and their instructors and trainers for the past 20 years since my…read moredaughters started riding at a young age. They've leased and owned horses, and they've shown in both little local shows and the "big one" in Louisville. So I feel qualified to comment. Craig Cates can do it all! He understands horses and owns many for whatever your riding level. Whether it be training your horse, lessons in riding, taking you to compete in a show...Craig has the experience to make it fun and safe for you. He is one of the best instructors I've seen...soft spoken and patient and excellent with both youngsters and seniors. He is also an honest businessman and a friend to all. Boone County is lucky he settled here!

UPDATE: he called me back after I left like a hundred moderate-cringe voice mails, and flat up told me he was booked for the next 30 days and didn't know anyone else who could take me on in the next couple day either - and then hung up. Informative chap.

There were several horses, cows, chickens, goats, and pigs; however you cannot get close enough to pet them. There was also no hay rides while we were there. The grounds need some upkeep, as there was lots of animal poop around. The kids in my group hardly looked at the animals and instead went to the large jungle gym and spent almost of their time there. It's nice for a free outing, but we will not be coming back.
