I have visited many times and l always have a wobderful time. My favorite horse is Doser.
Terrible experience. Guy in charge was not there. Only girls around the age of 10-15. Girls were not friendly. Asked them all what their name was and gave us short answers and walked away. Never told us the rules and didn’t send us out with a guide. When we got back the girls were very rude because we had the horses run (my friends and I have all been riding horses since we were little and knew what we were doing). They were being brats. The horses were very well behaved although I have been there before and have had a horse throw a friend off them my horse threw me off. Had to walk back to the barn and across a creek that was waist high only for the little girls to be smart and laugh at us asking what happened. On the other hand the horses only get fed dried corn and hay. They stand in piles and piles of their own feces. Absolutely no grass in any fields just feces. And the barn he has some of them in looks like it could fall on the horses any second.
I visited this ranch just a few weeks ago and was horrified by the conditions these horses were living in. There were at least 25 horses kept in one barn with a small space to go outside, and that was only a fraction of how many horses were on the property. No grass, moldy hay, and cracked corn were all that was available to the horses to eat. Many horses were injured and didn’t seem to be capable to go on a trail ride so my friend and I chose not to ride. Almost all 130 horses were in need of a farrier immediately. Would never recommend it to anyone.
We had a horrible experience! We first got there, was no one to greet us! There were tons of kids running around and it did not seem organized or a professional atmosphere. There were volunteers to help, but all were kids or teens with little experience with customers. There was no safety waiver or liability paper or even safety gear such as a helmet. There were no rules or any instructions at all and our instructor was a 15 year old girl who struggled to communicate and fit the needs of the customers! We took a 2 hour course but it didn't seem beginner and there was no warning of the terrain! The route had sharp and very steep hills! The girl told us they had over 130 horses. They all seemed untamed and unwilling to respond to signals. One of our horses took off at FULL speed! One of our family member even got thrown off completely from their horse. When we told the staff our family member got thrown off the horse, there was no one to come and help if she was severely injured. Thankfully she just got very bruised but was extremely frightened and scared she told the girl she would not get back on the horse and had to walk back! Very disappointed and had a horrible experience never again!!!
I took my Girl Scout troop here for the weekend, and had the most amazing time. Ronnie and Kim are the best and they made this a real hands on experience for the girls...not just a trail ride and then done. We stayed in the rustic cabin and we just had a blast all around. The kids that help out there were the sweetest, and we were treated like family. Country livin at it's best, and we can't wait to return! My daughter also will be returning for summer camp this year. We have our own horses, and she has never had the confidence to even really ride, but after this, she's now basically an intermediate rider. The experience as definitely more than "just a trail ride"!!!
