Also, the set-up provided -- ample space and facilities for the animals - including water and food which I have not seen for other companies. This company also had two animal supervisors to ensure baby animals were not just left on their own for kids to pick-up and repeatedly drop the animals, chase or frighten them nonstop. One of the goats gave birth at the event -- a rare event to see. Thank you for providing proper care and not exploiting the animals.

They failed to provide the animals we specifically requested for the petting zoo and paid more for. When we raised the issue, they berated us over phone and text, insisted they weren't at fault, and then refused to refund our money. On top of that, they aren't even the actual service provider -- just an agent who acts as a middleman, charging more while delivering poor results. Completely unprofessional and not worth the hassle.

What an adventure!…read more This was our first time at a place like this and we were pleasantly surprised. We went for a birthday party and were assigned to a treehouse. Inside there were lots of windows that allowed for a nice breeze and great views of the climber's. The staff were friendly, patient and knowledgeable. There were 10+ children and in our group and I was impressed by how organized the process was. After checking in and signing waivers, we headed to the treehouse to see the birthday girl. After most of the party had arrived, the kids first lined up for harnesses, followed by the adults accompanying their children on the course. We then headed to down a set of stairs for the safety briefing and to learn how to maneuver the course. I was surprised how quickly the children grasped the concepts. Once everyone passed the evaluation, we headed back upstairs to line up to enter the course. It was much higher and challenging than I expected. I'm not terribly afraid of heights but to transition to and from each obstacle took a tremendous amount of core and upper body strength. It was so cute seeing the kids clip on and move freely. This was a very fun day and I look forward to returning for a night event as we enter the hotter months in Texas.

Tried searching for…read moreevery place near me, leaving voice-mail after voice-mail, but couldn't get through to anyone until... until I managed to locate Iron Horse Guest Ranch. Nestled in close to the Renaissance Fair and downtown Magnolia, this was the perfect place; close to our home. Setting up the appointment for a lesson was quick and painless; used facebook messenger to work out the best time. Prices varied, depending on the type of lesson, were very reasonable, and all proceeds went back to the horses on the ranch. I would quickly learn that everyone is a volunteer, as this home is for horses rescued & rehabilitated from someone the harshest circumstances. We arrived to meet with Niki, owner and operator. She was an amazing guide and teacher. She and her son helped explain everything to my wife and I prior to mounting our amazing rides; Gunner & Hershey. They were both very patient with our questions, taking safety very important. Best part of the experience was enjoying the ride without having to take any photos. Niki did all of this for us without having to worry, and sent us all of the amazing pics after the ride. All and all, the hour or two we spent here was very special and we will soon not forget it. Highly recommend a visit if in town for a visit, or even living close by. Helping these amazing animals was the best thing ever!

Second - They do not enforce/stop people from shooting into the woods from the tables that are furthest from the office. Third - They do not regularly chronograph. I see guys messing with their tanks, and I know they are shooting hot. The guys with tanks can really hurt somebody. Put a zip tie on and keep the pressure down. I was sitting on a picnic table when a bb hit the table. I see guys walk into the netted area without masks. Just because you sign a waiver does not mean they do not have to enforce safety precautions. They will be liable for accidents when they let people go rogue. I question going back unless they get it together. It is just a bunch of young guys running the place and they have not yet learned the lessons to take it serious. They are too timid and or it is their friends playing and they don't want to be "uncool". Finally, they are letting the "Goon Squad" play there and that group is no fun to play with. They over shoot and do not call their shots. They ruin it for everyone.

I didn't click as much with other stables or felt "seen" until I found NHHP. On the first phone call, Melanie + Carly were so welcoming, kind and funny! Each lesson is always a great and fun learning experience. They aim to make you feel as comfortable as possible while challenging you and helping you find that motivation from within. They are talented instructors with years of experience to help guide and mold riders to become their most successful. Even in group lessons, they take their time with EACH rider. Also, they are super quick with reaching back out in regards to booking lessons, rescheduling lessons and being flexible with your schedule. All the horses are so sweet, patient, well trained and beautiful. Please try this place out and I promise you will want to make this your forever stables for either you or your loved ones.

She has shown my daughter how to take care of horses, and has been a great friend to me as well. During hurricane Beryl, she handled all the damage with care and expertise. Even with all the struggles that came with the hurricane, I couldn't trust anybody else more with the care of my horses. The other boarders have also told us how much they love Chrisi and how well she has taken care of the horses. Her lessons have taught my daughter so much, and she loves them. She always comes home with the largest smile on her face, talking about how much she loved it, and how it is the favorite part of her week. There is such a community at the barn, and Chrisi has really grown that. It is a place that is so great to be, and you'll not just get excellent care of your horses, or amazing lessons, but friends and a community to be apart of. I would 10/10 recommend her for high quality riding lessons, or a great boarding experience. Thank you so much Chrisi for the kindness you have shown our family and our horses.
