I went to summer camp here way…read moreback in the day...like 25 years ago, ouch...and my heart still holds so many wonderful memories from this place. It is a family run business, and you can tell...they treat you like family even if it has been years and years since you've seen them. I saw Trey today (their professional) and he was laughing about how his mom "teaches kids and they don't even know they're being taught. They just think they're playing." And it's true. She taught me back in the day. Bottom line: if you want to learn how to ride, this is the place to go. The perfect place to find your barn family.

My daughter did a 5 day horse camp at Oak View stables from 8am-2pm. It cost a lot of money and we…read morefound the camp low value for money. According to their website, the camp was $400 with a $50 deposit but I ended up paying $460 for some reason because the deposit seemed to just be an up front pay, and we had to pay an extra $10 for a helmet rental. The kids rode a different horse every day, which was of course my daughter's favorite part, but they did a lot more activities that weren't related to horses at all. Instead of them playing basic camp games and doing basic crafts that could have been done at home, they could have done horse related games/activities. They also had a lot more downtime than anticipated and described on the site, and they were playing games in the blazing sun during a heatwave. Even though this was the first time for my daughter to ride a horse, instructor Kayla wasn't hands on, and just sat at the sidelines while yelling instructions at the kids from a distance. While my daughter overall had a great experience with the horses, our overall value for money could have been a lot better. The kids were doing unstructured activities and were unsupervised at times (we observed this)! I would definitely recommend other parents to look into other options for a horse camp.

The tour started almost an hour later than scheduled due to an "unexpected marriage proposal" earlier in the day - lol, an unforeseeable event that was no fault of the staff. We were introduced to our horses and given instructions on how to ride, which was pretty comprehensive. I haven't met a lot of horses, but the one I was assigned, named Emmet, was exceptionally cooperative and calm. The landscape throughout the tour was beautiful. Because the fields are preserved for the horses to roam and the rides, there were a lot of wild deer that felt safe hanging out there as well.

The 2 hour ride is great! I was in a small group with Maria leading the line. She was very friendly…read moreand we enjoyed talking about the park while on the trail with her. We saw a few deer, goats, and some of the other horses while in the park, and the trails in the woods are very relaxing. The horses were super friendly and would definitely be easy for younger people to ride as well.
