I moved my 8 month old Danish Warmblood filly to DunnDee Farms after owning my own Horse Boarding /…read moreHorse training Facility for eight years. I can say with some authority that while there I was very impressed with the facilities and care she received. She was always feed on time, in clean surroundings, and checked over regularly for any injuries. The farm owner is very knowledgeable, friendly and responsible. My filly had many horse friends and had the unique opportunity to meet other types of farm animals like goats, cows, capybaras & chickens. We only got to stay for four months due to us moving but I would definitely recommend this farm! Thank you DunnDee Farms for taking care of my baby!

I have been taking horseback riding lessons with Swede, and honestly, he is the best teacher! He is…read moresuper knowledgeable about horses and excellent at communicating. He is very safety conscious, as well as patient, and easy going. He has been great at testing my understanding after instruction by asking me questions, always with a friendly demeanor and positive eye contact. Swede has taken me step by step from establishing a connection with his horse primarily through grooming (she loves to be brushed), to then learning how to properly put the blanket, saddle, and bit on the horse, to learning all the good basics of gracefully mounting, staying balanced on the horse, and effectively controlling it, et cetera. He is a most gifted instructor, and I have enjoyed my lessons and gained much confidence in riding. His horse Destiny is amazing, a super experienced and "wise" horse. In short, I highly recommend Swede for horsemanship lessons if you are a novice or know nothing about riding and want to learn from the best.

Ridge Point attends horse shows at least once a month, at both the local and rated levels.

She is knowledgeable, and after every lesson, I leave with so much new information about my riding. My confidence is improving!

She has a genuine interest in my progress outside her lessons. And her horses are all great as well!

Yes the horses can be cantankerous at times but they can sense when the person on them knows what they are doing. They are not cars that you turn the wheel and step on the gas , they are animals and have a mind of their own. As for the handles yes they are young people. All the ones I met were friendly and eager to help you. With what they charge to ride you cannot expect high paid employees and showplace facilities I recommend this place to anyone that can handle a horse or can handle an animal . And wants a nice ride for a reasonable price. This is your place.

Turkey Creek Stables in Plant City has false advertising on their website. It states that rides are…read more$20 for 1 hour, but when we arrived, we were told it was actually $45 per hour. On top of that, there was also a $5 fee that was never mentioned upfront. When we questioned the price difference, we were told that the website with the $20 pricing has supposedly been up for the past 3 years, and that they "use a different website" as well, which was very confusing and misleading for customers. I had a very disappointing and unsafe experience at Turkey Creek Stables and would not return. During my ride, my horse and another rider's horse began racing each other at a speed that felt completely out of control. Despite repeatedly trying to get my horse to stop, I had no control over the situation. The horses were going so fast that the rest of the group did not return from the guided ride until about 15 minutes after us. I ended up being thrown off my horse and fell directly onto my back. I got the wind knocked out of me and later went to urgent care, where I was told I had significant bruising, including a large contusion on my inner thigh. What was most concerning was the lack of response afterward. No one immediately ran over or properly checked to make sure I was okay. The only person who took the time to come over, check on me, and give me basic advice like icing and taking Tylenol was the hispanic man (the staff member). Aside from that, there was very little concern shown for my safety. I was also very uncomfortable with how the situation was handled afterward. A front desk comment about getting "certified cowgirl stamps" and mentioning my nails being intact felt extremely unprofessional and dismissive given what had just happened. Additionally, the guides appeared very young and not adequately prepared for handling emergencies. During a guided ride, I would expect at least one experienced guide in the front and one in the back to ensure safety and control, but that was not the case here. Overall, I'm highly disappointed with the lack of safety, supervision, and professionalism. I would not recommend this experience and would not go back.
