I took my sister on a bday surprise and we had the BEST time ever. Coordinating and booking with…read moreAndrea was so easy. Andre took us out on the trails and he was a blast, so funny. I would highly recommend them. They choose the trails depending on the weather and they took us on a trail that felt like we were in the jungle. It was so cool, I would book them a 100 more times!!

I rode with Andre and Andrea last year and bought another ride with them. It was at the same park…read moreclose to flamingo gardens. When I arrived around 12ish, they greeted me and were preparing the horses. Andre was on another ride, so I waited until he was finished. A lot of horses were saddled up and I noticed there was another group that was joining the ride. It was a group of 6! Thus, I knew this was going to be a slower paced ride. We did get a nice ride on the trails, and the majority were shaded. We did see some cows and donkeys too. It was a full two hour ride. We did get to trot a little, but there was no opportunity to lope or canter due to the large group. While Andre and Andrea looked to be nice people, and the ride was fine, the reason for the two stars is the treatment of the horses. The horse I rode looked pretty under weight. It seemed that many others too looked skinny. That is sad as last year, my horse looked ok. Also, it looked like the horses didn't have a break in between rides, so they might be overworked. This was noticed by my horse friends, as well as the other group. They were purposely not following Andre's instructions to not have the horses eat during the ride. They were also asking how much longer before the ride ends, and questioning whether the horses were going to be ridden on the next ride afterwards. While I do like Andre and Andrea, it is the welfare of the horses that have the highest priority. If they are not treated well, they shouldn't be ridden. The high reviews from others are from customers who had great rides like me, but may not have noticed the conditions of the horses, or the horses were treated better previously. I beg Andre and Andrea to please make sure the well being of the horses are the first priority, especially for 65 per hour on a group ride.

The farm idea is so nice that you take in animals that people don't want anymore. The animals are…read morealso very sweet and friendly, ferrets are usually not so kind but these ones are so sweet. The baby bunnies are my favorite, and the ferrets, and the GOATs (Greatest Of All Time) are silly, sweet, and very friendly. Everything is set at a great fair price, not too expensive. The service requested was great and friendly. It was great visiting the rescue farm and spending time with the animals it was great getting to interact with them and learn about them.

Well, I must have come on a bad day. Maybe the animals were tired. Maybe the staff were tired. I…read moredon't know. All I know is I felt like I was at my cousin's house and they happened to have animals. There were no directions or explanations...until it came time to pay. Now that part was explained perfectly. Honestly, I probably could have seen the same thing at my local shelter and saved $30. I'm hoping the money goes toward helping the animals, but it's really hard to tell. They have goats, plenty of birds, llamas, pigs, and horses. I wouldn't call it a true petting zoo because most of the petting is done through a gate. If you want a horse ride, you have to ask. No one offers or tells you about it. Everything looked like it could use some updating or repairs, and the overall vibe from most of the staff was, "Please hurry up so we can get back to what we were doing." A couple of employees were pleasant and helpful, but they weren't going above and beyond. They simply gave us what we asked for. Overall, I probably won't be back. At least my $30 went toward helping the animals...I hope.

The booking experience was super easy, and everything I could possibly want to know beforehand was written out clearly. (I hate when websites have no info and just say something, like, call Bob at xxx to book now) On the day of, John greeted us at the end of the property's driveway, which I appreciated, as my dad can get lost easily going to new places. My parents and I rode horses in their late teens/early 20s, and they were very kind and well-trained. Our guide was Mayann (sorry, if I'm spelling wrong), and she was friendly and knowledgeable. My mom is very petite and maybe the least confident rider out of us, so Mayann offered to have her horse clipped to my mom's for the ride, which made her feel more comfortable. The experience is pretty pricey for an activity (my total was $314), but I imagine it can't be too far off from other ranches. Plus, we all left feeling like we had a really good experience. Compared to another ride we did years ago elsewhere, this one was so nice. The trail loop around Treetops Park is very shaded and secluded. It really feels like you're in the forest on a casual ride with your horse. I also appreciate that the staff takes photos for you during the ride, and that they were kind enough to chat with us and let us hang out with the animals afterwards. A different riding experience we had years ago had us ride senior horses next to a canal and the street. It was out-and-back style with no scenery except the cars driving by. There was 0% shade, the property felt claustrophobic and the only photos I have of the experience are ones my dad took of me in the tiny corral. I would definitely recommend Just Ride and stop your horseback riding research here. Compared to others, the staff here makes the experience professional yet personable, and you can tell the horses here are very well taken care of.
