Went to Royal Creek today to just enjoy some relaxing horseback riding. The experience we had was…read moreabsolutely AMAZING. Jules was our guide. She was absolutely sweet, understanding, knowledgeable, and very patient. My two cousins who went with me aren't very experienced riders, and she walked them through everything. Royal Creek has an amazing way of setting up the entire experience. They are really good at pairing the rider with the house -- not easy to do, but very well done. Once you arrive, you meet your "guide" and then are introduced to your horse. I really enjoyed the fact that you have some one on one time with the horse you'll be riding before you actually get on. You get to give your horse a brush down so they get comfortable with you, after that the horses are saddled up, and they take you to an indoor arena to ride around and get comfortable. Your guide will then make sure you're comfortable to take you out to the field where you'll ride around for a while. This was honestly one of the best horseback riding experiences I have had in a long time. Also, their prices are super reasonable. $105 for 3 people for an 1 1/2 hours

We did not get on our horses until an hour past our scheduled time, and the next group had already shown up. Our trail guide was vaping and talking on the phone the whole time, the vapor blowing back into my face. But worst of all, the trail guide did not tighten my saddle, claiming that she doesn't believe in having the girths super tight. When the saddle proceeded to slip, just a few yards from where we took off, it was blamed on me. She claimed it was because I have uneven stirrups and she "knew they didn't look right". I was highly upset by this experience and her ignorance. Do not go here, it is unsafe and unpleasant. I will highly recommend trying a different facility.
