First of all, I would like to say that I have been at Horseshoe farm for over 10 years! I can…read morehonestly say the review by rebel t was probably made because of her own actions! She is a young kid, that left on bad terms. Terms that she made by her own actions. In the 10 years I have been at Horseshoe Farm, I have never seen any of the issues Rebel t is accusing the farm owners of doing! When I first came to the farm and for several years after, there was a young black gentleman that would come to ride a few times a week. It was only after he graduated and moved away that he left. He was very happy here! And still stops by on occasion to visit with the owners! I would not call the owners prejudice. I have never heard them say anyting badly about gay people! And they would scrutinize ANY unknown person. It's their responsibility to know of all people coming onto the property. It is not based on race, or sexual orientation! I know for a fact that rebel t's horse had issues from day one being lame. It had nothing to do with the care she received at Horseshoe Farm. She was an ex-racehorse, who had a bone chip in one of her legs. I remember quite clearly pointing out to her owner on several occasions that she was lame. And her owner just brushed it off. I know for a fact Rebel t's horse was fed every day. I find it funny how Horseshoe Farm is known as "the fat farm', and the only horses that are thin are either an older horse, or horses that just came in from another boarding situation. And as far as the owners taking hay to feed their other horses, they have over 2500 bales of hay delivered every year for their own horses, and get monthly grain deliveries! They use quality hay and grain and give it to all of the horses depending on each horses needs. I rough board my horses, which means I feed them myself. But, the owners of Horseshoe Farm still keep an eye on my horses, and they communicate with me if they feel they need more (or less) hay or grain. Being at a the boarding facility, sometimes things disappear on occasion. While I am not going to accuse any one person of stealing, several items disappeared in a couple months span witch looks very suspicious. And maybe quite coincidental that we no longer have an issue. The borders are all friendly and will borrow or loan equipment. But only after asking, or being asked. Before you take the bad review to heart, you must consider the source. A young kid made the bad review for Horseshoe Farm well after she left on bad terms. I will review horseshoe farm on my own personal experiences of the last 10+ years. The owners of horseshoe farm have always taken top-notch care of my horses! I am what is considered a rough border. I do most of the work myself. Taking care of my own horses. And I buy my own hay, grain, and shavings. I must add, that I have a barn at my house and could have my horses there. I choose to keep them at Horseshoe Farm because I know they are well cared for, the owners are on property 24/7. I can enjoy horse ownership while having responsible and knowledgeable horse people take care of my horses if needed! The owners of the barn stomp on drama quickly! The boarders at the barn know they can always go to the owners if they have a problem! And in my experiences, problems are handled quickly and completely! If you are still concerned about a bad review and are looking for answers, I would ask local veterinarians and farriers in the area how Horseshoe Farm is. And how well the horses are taken care of! From my own personal experiences, in the past 10-plus years. I would give Horseshoe Farm a "5-star", "2-thumbs up", "A++" review!

Can't say enough good things about this place!!…read more I came out here with a group of 10 for a bachelorette party in October and we had an amazing experience! Cate, the owner was an absolute delight to work with and she was so helpful. I probably called 10 different times with numerous questions/changing the group size, etc. and she was so patient and accommodating. They provide the helmets and any additional equipment needed for the horse back ride. Our group was a divide of some experienced riders and some total beginner's, some of which were very nervous and afraid (myself included) and they were really good about helping us feel comfortable. There was a guide at the beginning and the end of the group. The ride was pretty long, about an hour and a half and we went onto the beach for part of it which was really pretty. We also did some advanced riding, called trotting, which was a bit scary, as a non-horse lover, but it ended up being fun! This is definitely a fun and different activity. I will warn that it is pricey though at 180$/person!

I booked the 1.5hr ride to the beach and back for my boyfriend and I. I'm an experienced rider and…read morehe hasn't ridden a horse since he was a child, so we were hoping for a little more instruction for him other than "pull back to stop and kick to go". We were already on the horses for 5min before the guide stopped, introduced himself and asked if it was anyone's first time on a horse before (little late to be asking that!). Due to his thick accent, it was also extremely difficult to understand him when he was shouting instructions from the back of a horse. The trail itself was extremely rocky and the horses were frequently smashing their hooves/slipping on the rocky terrain. Our guide was always 2 horse lengths ahead of the group with another rider, so if something had happened while riding and we needed immediate assistance, we would have had to yell for him to stop. We were with an inexperienced group of riders, so we trotted one time and then never tried again. The oddest thing was after the ride. The guide took a couple quick pictures of each group while on the beach and told us to leave our number so he could send us the pictures afterwards. We did, bought a hat from them and left. Then my boyfriend received a message via Venmo from the business "reminding that we haven't received a tip from you for your ride and we accept tips via Venmo". Two days went by and still no pictures. I messaged them on Instagram and got no reply. The following day I called and asked if the pictures could be sent to me and was told she would let our guide (Carvel) know to send them. I then received texts from someone who was obviously Carvel himself telling me again he still hadn't received a tip from us. I asked if it was required to leave a tip in order to receive the pictures and he said "did not say that- but Carvel took the photos on his personal phone which he did not have to do so we believe he deserves a tip." Carvel never asked for my phone to take the pictures which I would have happily provided if asked. We finally got the pictures after I sent a string of angry messages. After paying over $400 for the ride and the hat, I never expected to have to harass the business multiple times for three pictures that were taken in a rush. I do not recommend this experience.

They took the time to fit each of us with the right horse and properly fit our saddles and equipment. That takes time -- especially with five different riders -- and we really appreciated the care they put into making sure everyone was comfortable and safe. I had read some reviews mentioning that the staff were impatient or that the ride didn't begin exactly on time. I honestly don't understand how anyone could expect everything to happen like clockwork when you're dealing with horses. I grew up on a ranch, so I understand firsthand the amount of work that goes into caring for horses and getting them ready for riders. Horses are not machines, and sometimes things simply take the time they take. One thing I especially appreciated was that they seemed to care just as much about the horses as they did about the riders. The horses appeared to be very well cared for, and the staff were attentive to their needs throughout the process. That meant a lot to me. A good trail ride isn't just about getting people on horses and heading out -- it's about making sure the horses are comfortable, healthy, properly prepared, and treated well too. The three women working with us were clearly working very hard. They were constantly preparing, helping riders, and caring for the horses. I'm sure there are more people behind the scenes, but these three were absolutely wonderful. We had a great ride, our children had a great time, and we felt very well taken care of. I'm glad we chose Sunset Stables and would definitely recommend them to others. This review is completely unsolicited. I simply felt that after reading some of the negative reviews, our experience deserved to be shared. The kindness, patience, and hard work we experienced genuinely stood out to us, and I wanted to give credit where credit is due.
