Chuey was an excellent guide, knowledgable and patient while refreshing this past-horsewoman with riding techniques. The ride itself was beautiful through lush heavily foliaged forested areas.

What can I say about this experience... literally memorable to the core! Honestly these people are…read moresuper down to earth and ready to give you a great trail experience. The horses were super well behaved on the trail and did really well. Many of us were inexperienced riders and didn't know much, but it was easy to do since you're moving slow and all in a line. Towards the end of the ride they allowed us to trot a bit with the horses and have a little fun... it was super fun! I'm going to be candid and say that the beginning seemed a little bit worrisome. They were being very honest about the horses and it scared us a bit. Some of us thought the horses were gonna take off with us running by what they were saying. This was absolutely not the case though, I think they just shared information too freely, which is fine, it just scared some of our riders a bit. All and all this experience was a whopping 10/10, with many laughs and good memories to go around!

Tobey is an amazing facility owner; always looking for ways to improve the facility and make the property better for the horses. And Nyna, who takes care of many of the senior horses, loves them as if they were her own. She went to check on one of my boys later in the evening, and thanks to her observation and gut instinct, she noticed my 30 year old was not doing well. She called me and the vet, and thanks to her diligence, he was able to get the best possible care and endured the least amount of suffering. She even stayed by my side the whole time, along with Tobey coming out to check on us. I can't thank Olivewood enough for all they have done for my retired boys.

It is clear the entire team cares for the horses' well being. I travel often for my job and I don't have any concerns or hesitations that my horse isn't being taken care of while I'm gone. Tobey is very communicative and accommodating. A few months ago a larger stall opened up and it was an easy transition to the new stall. Since I've been boarding here, a few renovations and updates to the property have taken place, leaving the ranch one step closer to Tobey's vision for the space. I have spent the most time with Nyna between lessons, trail time and just running into her while at the barn. She is the life force of the ranch and keeps feedings, stall cleanings, lessons, farrier and vet appointments organized. She has spent a lot of time with my horse during lessons and turn out time. I can't see me or my horse boarding anywhere else. Thank you Olivewood Acres!

I love how spacious the restaurant is and how there's also an outdoor patio area in the back. Definitely will be coming back

You can feel how much she genuinely cares about every child and parent who comes through. She made everything feel so thoughtful, intentional, and special for the kids. Every little detail felt considered, and it created such a warm, welcoming environment. All of the animals are clearly so loved and well cared for, which made the experience even more meaningful. You can tell this isn't just something she runs, it's something she pours her heart into. The next day, she hosted my group of friends and it was just as incredible. We all had the best time and made the sweetest memories with our babies. It was one of those experiences you wish you could bottle up and relive. We will absolutely be coming back again and again. Truly love, love, love this place.

However the girls that run the little store when I am there are not friendly nor do they generally have answers for questions. I've tried to have a conversation with them but they are inconvenienced by my existence. Half the stuff is miss marked and some don't have ingredients. They ring up the wrong items and when you point out they rang up the wrong item or the item has a sticker with a lower price they are put out by having to correct the wrong item and wont even correct the price.
