The boyfriend and I have come back now and this was our 2nd time coming to Marshall Creek Ranch! We…read morelove how laid back it is and.of course, the horses! The first time we came last year, they gave me the shortest horse because I was the shortest rider there! I rode Ziggy, and I was already attached. He's so cute-- I am a big David Bowie fan, so I have nicknamed him,"Mr. Stardust" LOL The first time we came, it had been some years since I had ridden a horse, and the same for the boyfriend. We did the easy walking trail ride-- this year we did the intermediate trotting trail and I asked to ride Ziggy again-- what can I say, I love him.. Although we were initially nervous for reservation cancellations due to the rain and being pushed back a day, they still had great communication as to whether or not we'd be able to have our trail ride. The respond via text message-- so be aware that if you call, they might not answer. The only time they DO call is when you're booking the reservation. It had been raining on and off and so they said the first time they were checking our specific trail, was when we were actually on it. We didn't get to trot as much as I wanted, but it was a little squishy in some areas. The staff is friendly and even take your photo at the end! My thing is that it is very hard to hear them talk when you're on the trail ride. It would be beneficial for them to carry a microphone or something.

so first off, they had us ride the horses in circles in very hot weather for about 45 minutes…read more straight -then they finally let us go to the forest. Throughout the ride you will be going very slow and will be in the forest for about an hour. They charge you $1 per water bottle and certain staff have terrible attitudes. My experience was terrible and to top it off one of the staff members spoke the entire ride and I wasn't able to enjoy the scenery. I will definitely not be coming back.

I've been taking lessons here for about a year and a half. Before that, my only riding experience…read morewas a few weeks of lessons when I was a little boy, and the occasional trail ride every few years. I'm now regularly taking part in playdays (amateur barrel racing and pole bending) and even won a buckle last season! I'm also in better physical shape than when I started, having put on a few pounds of muscle in my legs and core -- which is quite the feat in middle-age. Dwaine has been around horses all his life, and it shows. He's incredibly patient and encouraging with his students and knows when they need to be pushed to improve. More than a few of his students have gone to become professionals, competing in rodeos. They learn not just the basics of how to ride, but also grooming, saddling and overall horsemanship. There's probably no better testimony, though, than the community of kids and parents that have formed around the stables, with plenty of friendships formed that extend past lesson time.

Horrible experience, they happily took our money and never showed up at the scheduled time. We…read moretried to reschedule but they said they were fully booked with summer camps and we have been trying to get our money back for 3 months with no luck and scarse communication from them. I would recommend anyone interested in horseback riding lessons to look for a more serious business.

I went to Arlington's Go Ape Ziplines and the experience did not disappoint! I had a blast doing…read moreall the activities, getting out of my comfort zone and ziplined across the river. You will definitely experience muscle soreness for a few days if you're not one to exercise. Staff was friendly, accommodating and actually taughte how to use our gear. I never felt lost or confused throughout the ordeal. This place is great for both adults and kids. Usually adventure parks caters to a young audience but I really think Go Ape hit the nail with ensuring that these rope courses are challenging. I did face one issue; during the last (and longest) zipline, I got stuck. I reached the other side but missed the landing, and I was dragged back to the middle of the zipline. Left hanging above the river, I contemplated blowing my whistle to alert staff. But somehow, I was able to get momentum and completed the course. Still, the challenge itself didn't ruin my experience; it made it all the more unique and fun. I'd definitely come back with friends and family!!

Scottie was so nice and so helpful with our harnesses, I had never done anything like this or gone zip lining and they made me feel secure and safe. Eileen and Thomas were so funny and helpful when it came to explaining the difference between the routes we'd bee taking. I definitely felt like I had enough information to gage which routes would be best for my skill level.
