Came here with a group of 7, ranging in age from tweens to 75. Most had never ridden before. We all…read morehad a blast. Ben, our guide, was very knowledgeable and also patient with us. He knows everything about each horse, and the best way to get each horse to go where you want it to go. You can tell he loves what he does. Would highly recommend. FYI, they don't ride when it's over 95 degrees, for the safety of the horses. There is little if any cell service in "these parts". Your gps won't work. Take screen shots of your directions before leaving your hotel or whatever. You are not in the city - it's easy to miss street signs.

I bought a Morgan horse from Ben over 20 years ago. she was the best trail horse I ever had.read more

I've been to several farms throughout the years and I've never had an experience as great as this. They truly care about their horses and riders, and it shows! My boyfriend had never ridden a horse before and was quite nervous, but they made him feel so comfortable in a saddle that he's still buzzing about the experience. It was the highlight of our vacation and we can't wait to go back!

We were all beginner riders and they took excellent care of my mother as well as my sister and I. They gave us plenty of time to get acquainted with each horse and were even kind enough to give us a little bit of history about them. Their prices were extremely reasonable and the time we had with our horse was not rushed.

Second time posting this because it appears they REMOVED my original review. In order, I found the…read morelink to their website and it showed me that it doesn't exist anymore but they're still up and running.. strange. Then I called and left a voicemail one day then again a couple days after as well as left them an email looking for contact. After a week of no response, I turned to reaching out on Facebook where they eventually actually responded: "busy man, busy. dont need a website". Don't waste your time with them. I've been disgusted with this place and will be going to a different local horse farm. There's another review from someone else I saw with this same problem dating all the way back to 2021. So in the past 4 years, they still haven't found the sense to even be somewhat decent to curious customers. They are absolutely pathetic. P.S. Take accountability instead of trying to erase my honest review from my recent experience

Highly recommended. Troy was passionate about his job. He…read morewas he was very experienced and helpful. I had a 7 year old and my partner was not very experienced but even on his own he was engaged. The horses all have their own character and this is not your normal ride.

Was a bridesmaid in a wedding there. The staff was extremely unhelpful. The wedding was supposed to…read morebe outside and there was a torrential downpour so we had to move the ceremony inside - which is fine, weather happens. In order to change plans we had to rearrange the inside barn area, also fine except that the four men who worked for the barn refused to do anything. Guests had to move tables and the mother of the bride had to ask the them for extra chairs, which we paid for, and had to bed them to be brought it. It also flooded inside because of the new construction outside- also things happen... except that we couldn't get any staff to help and by the time they got there the linens on head table were soaking up muddy water and there was 4 inches of water right in front of the catering table. There also weren't even enough spaces at the head table for the entire bridal party (which they knew ahead of time)... there was a huge lack of activity from staff. Also this is not the place to book if you have family that has trouble with stairs because the only bathroom is in the bridal lounge upstairs. Guests had to go outside and climb a full flight in order to use the one bathroom- also difficult when it's raining because it is exposed. Overall interesting place for a wedding but if there is anything you need during set-up or arrival expect to be met with an attitude. Rain and inclement weather obviously can't be helped, but a positive service experience would have made all the difference. Having the owner call guests a bitch doesn't help either.. Also there is zero cell phone service and no wifi.

Kristen and Audrey are both super laid back and friendly. We've been planning our trip back for more caving since we left. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the river was too low to canoe in quite a few areas, which they warned us, but we probably shouldn't have went at all.

Kris called me and said horse riding was out, then asked me if I wanted to go caving. Well yeah, of course. The fact that she offered something else was impressive. I expected a Luray Cavern sort of tour. Not even close. As far away from commercialization as it could get. This was a real 'prepare to get dirty' tour and I absolutely loved it. My kids can't wait to visit again just so that they can visit the ranch :-)
