If I could have given a negative 5 I would have!!! Purchased from Groupon made my appointment for me and my 3 children. I get there to see gates are locked which ok understandable.I waited and I Called the number many times all for them to be screening it and never get back to you. I emailed and nothing. Now 45 mins later still no reply back no email nothing now I'm stuck with a crying kid that's disappointed because her birthday is ruined. Now I have to think fast and come up with something else to do and waste more money all because they were not professional.She was very excited and looking forward to this. Worst experience EVER!!!!!!! read more

I would recommend you do research before you leave your child there for any camp. The person running the camps should not be allowed to be around children. Had to pick up my daughter after day 3 of camp because the trainer was on some sort of narcotics. Will never bring her there again and I would suggest you steer clear. read more

I had amazing time with my daughters on this shaded path. We fed the horses apples and carrots that I brought with me as a treat! Really beautiful horses. I had star. And my daughters had Romeo and charm! My daughters want to come back! I also tipped my guide. Best experience. read more

Even after reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try on my wife's birthday. True, there was a little wait, but the price was right, the property and the horses were beautiful, Ryan and Amanda were friendly, and my wife had a great time. That's all that matters. read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with horseback riding and had an amazing time! It was my first trail ride, but my horse Charm was calm and patient, which made it feel serene. Amanda and her assistant were kind, gave us helpful pointers, and checked in along the way. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

If you want to choose this business I would think twice. After booking your reservation nobody answers calls or emails. We showed up at 9:30 for our 10am appointment. We saw 1 elderly gentleman at 10:20. I let him know we had a 10 am appointment. He went inside and returned telling us someone would be right out. Fast forward to 10:50 after several calls and an email still not 1 person came outside. We finally left at 11 am. I suggest you DO NOT waste your time or money at this establishment. read more

This was my first time going horseback riding and Amanda and Ryan made sure that me and my family was safe and felt comfortable on the horses. When we first arrived, we were able to walk the farm, and Amanda showed us the proper way to feed the horses with the carrots and apples. We had a blast. I would come back to their stable to receive another experience like I enjoyed today. Thank you, Amanda and Ryan for a great experience and thank you to the beautiful horse Star who was very gentle and well trained. Please experience their stable for yourself, because I had a beautiful experience there. read more

We went on a 30 minute horse riding trail ride today. All of us really enjoyed it. We got to pet and feed the horses too. It was just a joy to ride a horse. We all had smiles on our faces. We plan on coming back in a few months. read more

My boyfriend and I had a ride scheduled somewhere else and my mom watching the kids so we can have our "Valentine's" together but a day before. I was so upset when that place canceled so I immediately called around to see if there was any last minute Aavailablity anywhere else. while I didn't get an answer I did get a text right away informing me of the next rides they had set up and we were welcome to come in case someone didn't show. we ended up getting a private ride and it was VERY affordable. I plan on bringing my son on Wednesday for his birthday to ride! read more

BEWARE!!! you must pay the hour in advance cash only. i timed it and you only get to ride 25 minutes. Also the rides occurs in their backyard and they take you round and around for 25 minutes. They ran away and disappeared when I asked for a refund. read more

Unfortunately they will not respond your call or text nor keep the schedule they promised . We paid for camp but after seeing instructor high as hell decided to not leave my child with them all day so kept our payments ofcourse. Paid lesson kept changing date even we told them that i wasn't available those date so no response at all. you will be lucky to get her answer your text withing 10 days. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !! read more

My son and I recently came to Equestrian Quest Stables on a mommy/son trip as my son wanted to ride a horse. We did the beginner trail ride and Ryan (our guide) and his wife were so nice and boosted my son and my own confidence for never riding a horse. We had so much fun, and the property and horses were beautiful and so glad we chose Equestrian Quest to take us on our first adventure. After the ride my son was all smiles as he got to feed the horses and they even gave him a medal and popsicle. Immediately after the ride, my son and I had to head back up to home in Jacksonville and for the 2 hour drive he raved about horseback riding. read more

I purchased a four people trail ride and tried to SCHEDULE the ride for over a month and a half. They were terrible at communicating, I called every single day for weeks and never got a response. I texted, no response. I emailed. No response. When they finally got back to me, I answered all of their questions and then no response. They answered a month later and asked the same questions. No response after I answered them. It was so terrible I canceled my purchase and got a refund. I felt like I was speaking to a 7 year old. I'm only attaching the most recent messages but there were previous messages and almost 40 unanswered and unreturned phone calls as well as two emails from February 2nd. read more

The review I'm leaving them: We arrived at 1:20pm for our 1:30pm reservation. They weren't ready for us but suggested we give their horses some treats while we waited and said it would take about 15 minutes to get the horses ready. My son and I are both experienced riders so this sounded reasonable. 35 minutes later we were mounted and ready to hit the trail. But there's no trail. You're just riding in loops around their property. Around the barn, around the ring, around the pool, under and around some paddocks and trees. Our guide spent the whole time looking at his phone and smoking his cigarette, to the point that he walked his horse into a tree twice. We stopped frequently so he could return text messages, dismount to retrieve his fallen sunglasses, towel, water bottle, and phone. An older woman boarder was following us and another woman was following our group in a golf cart. The boarder's horse spooked twice when the golf cart ran over fallen branches. About 35 minutes into one of the many loops around their place (yes it was getting a bit monotonous) the guide suggested we canter. The elderly woman was not confident she would be able to handle that but the guide said she'd be fine. Off we took and off she fell. Where she laid in the dirt motionless for 5 minutes... during that time I suggested someone call 911... nobody would so I did. After being on the phone with 911 for several minutes she hopped up and proclaimed she was fine but I wasn't sure - could be adrenaline. My son and I had both already dismounted and once the guide walked back toward us I handed him both our reins and said we would be leaving. 0/10 would not recommend... read more

First, let me start by saying that I typically only give good reviews but felt that I had to give a heads up on what to expect with this place. My first impression was they were difficult to get ahold of to schedule a trail ride. Number on website was a cell number and voice mail was full so unble to leave message. I texted that day with no response. Emailed the next day with very prompt response. However the communication was short with no punctuation and all run on sentences. The focus on the communicate was more about tipping our guide that trying to help us schedule. I didn't think much of that because I was going for the horses not the ability of someone to type in appropriate sentences format. However that really should have heen a warning sign. Once we got there we did not find any signs on where to go so we wondered the stable for 10 minutes before we ran into a guy who said "are you my reservation for 4?". That was our only greeting. The guy in the stable was suprises when the other party of 2 showed up but another lady showed up and knew about them. Great communication by staff. The guy grabbing the horses for everyone said loud enough for all the customers to hear, "I got 4 over her and 2 here and not enough horses so basically I don't know how to make everyone fu**ing happy". They finally figured it out and got enough horses sadled up and we got going. We were lead by a golf cart that either ran out of gas or broke down in the middle of the trail ride. The "trail ride" was really just a figure 8 around the stables and property. What should have been a 60 minute trail ride was 45 minutes but I was ok with that because I was getting bored seeing the same thing over and over. My pre teen girls got placed right behind the 2 guides in the golf cart who taught them a lot of new 4 letter words during the trip. Customer service and a family friendly environment is definitely not at the top of their priority list. All that being said, my 12 year old who was the one who wanted to do this excursion and loves horses had a great time so it was worth it. In hindsight, I would pay more to go someplace else and unfortunately can not recommend. read more

This must, have been one outstanding facility at one time. I personally checked this place out three times. The first time it was an unannounced visit. I walked around for almost an hour and could not find anyone. That would concern me, especially if I boarded my horse there. You could tell the difference between board horses and stable horses. 2ed visit was planned, but no one showed up. There is definitely some type of problems here. The guy seemed more interested in a deposit than anything else!!! My last trip was planned and again no one showed up or could be bothered. This time I really looked around, the hay looked like straw, horses with no water, this place has not been used or kept up in a very long time. Stay away, especially our tourists. read more

We did our first trail ride at this facility and we had a blast! We are planning on doing lessons as well! I was in contact with the owner over the week with asking her questions and setting up an appointment. When I got there, I went to the stables and I met Amanda and Ryan. They both were very nice, helpful, and answered all my questions. I was so happy to hear that they were able to accommodate my 5.5 year old so she can go trail riding as well! They made it a perfect first experience that had her talking about it to anyone who would listen! We would recommend it! Also, price wise, it was a really good price! read more

All I can say is it's worth the few dollars you will spend. It's family ran and operated. The best way to get an appointment is to call/ text/ & email. Don't go through Groupon..! Your tour guide will take you around the property on horseback and even let you feed the horses. Remember to be polite and enjoy yourself. read more

3 Stars for a crazy-fun time which included only a few moments of extreme fear. I got to join a group of friends for some horse riding shenanigans to celebrate a birthday. I didn't organize the outing but I had a really good time and plan on returning. What I loved: - The horses are beautiful and seemed very well cared for and clean. I felt like a cowgirl on Charms- my speckled horse for the day! - The guide was a young guy who had been riding for two years. He was nice and helped one of my friends relax when she was feeling a bit panicked. Great patience and empathy! - The path we took, though occassionally repetitive, was lovely. We passed by stables, small lakes, and narrow paths. This led to a diverse experience. We all agreed that we wanted to return on a semi-regular basis! A few things I might suggest: - We only found out after the ride that they only take cash or check. Luckily someone had a checkbook otherwise we might have been stuck cleaning the stables! It'd be helpful for the owners to let patrons know that they don't take credit cards earlier in the process (and include signage). - We got on the horses and were instructed to pull the reigns right or left to turn and up to stop. That's about where the training ended. A few of my friends had horses that spooked a bit and started trotting and they mentioned that they would have liked more guidance before we started on how to handle those situations (and maybe helmets!). My horse was very calm so I didn't have this problem. - We started out with a guide in front and a golf cart following behind the large group. Eventually the golf cart left and some of the slower folks in the group tended to get far behind. At one point I was in the straggler's group and when we came up to a fork in the path we weren't sure where the rest of our group had gone... We picked the right path and caught up with them not long after but it was still a bit unnerving to be alone on a giant animal and little to no training! read more

So first off I have never been on a horse. The thought was kind of intimidating to be completely honest. There wasn't really much instructions other then be confident and lead the horse. So I hoped up on put my business face on and off we went. The trainers and care takers were all very knowledgeable and encouraging. We went around the range for a little over an hour. Now I'm no 14 year old girl but I fell in love with riding that afternoon. I felt like I was in my element. A total must do if you have never rode before. So much fun!!. We had the whole family and baby out enjoying ourselves. Again great staff, well cared for horses, such an enjoyable afternoon. Also it's so much cheaper then I would have thought! read more

Equestrian Quest Stables - Me and my main squeeze Sierra. - Horseback Riding Near Me - Geneva, Florida

POOR COMMUNICATION!! Wife an I wanted to learn how to ride horses,, not just go for a ride! Our first lesson was pretty good. SO i decided to get lessons for my son and daughter in-law. Their first lesson went well. After second lesson, Amanda, owner operator, said we could all do a lesson together, but when we got there she said four was to many train. So we could do a trail ride for free. Now from the beginning it took her over a week to respond to my initial request, and during the weeks we stretched out our training. It was very difficult to get her to return text, even 2-3 weeks for some. She cancelled on us one day, 15 minutes before lesson, via text, but we were just pulling into her driveway. So my son has had a couple cancellations, and once she asked if the could delay an hour, but he could not. So she claims he canceled. The last two weeks I have been trying to to schedule our last lesson, even told her we would be willing to do a solo trail ride. Her text basically said she has been very busy and we already had 5 lessons. So I guess she is not giving us that trail ride for free. I asked her to just pick a time and I would make it work. no reply, and its been over a week. I have even repaired a saddle, and 2 harness for free for her. I thought lessons were good, trail ride was ok, very small property and no access to regular area horse trails. I see the reviews used to be very good, but customer service has declined, cash only, (didn't find out until we showed up). They have good horses, she try's her best at taking care of them. But customer service is terrible! read more

Incredible opportunity! Equestrian stables is friendly, affordable, and such a great experience! I got experience as a gift for my mothers bday and 4 of us were able to go for $100 cash. Be sure to text or call the number listed to make an appointment. There is no need to get a groupon,it's better to just purchase your tickets there! Our trail guide was Brian and he was knowledgeable and kind. Be sure to bring cash to tip them because they're good at what they do! The land is gorgeous and untouched and you feel tucked away into Old Florida! Definitely an experience worth doing again and a giant Last thing, riders under 18 wear a helmet i was able to bring my 7 years old and she LOVED it. The trail guide led her horse just to be safe. It was awesome. read more

Such an awesome place. Ride was a little over an hour through trees and palmetto. Three people in our party were novices but they were made completely comfortable. Our guide Brian was great and patient without being patronizing. Loved it and will definitely return! Highly recommend! read more

Perfect experience for my beginner son and beautiful horses for more than just trail rides. I loved being able to groom the horses and spend more time than just an on and off trail ride. I am definitely going back but I enjoyed it so much I want to spend time advancing my knowledge and skills. I have always gone riding for as long as can remember so glad that this is here in Seminole county. Amanda was very personable and helpful to answer any questions. She also helped everyone in my group to feel empowered and that was so uplifting and also a boost to the kiddos self esteem. Thank You! read more

Don't come here or board your horse here even if they offer you their service for free. They were over 30 minutes late for our original appointment in October for a riding lesson and trail ride but we didn't get the riding lesson. So they offered another trail ride which was supposed to have happened at 3 on Thursday. At 3:30 we were informed to come back Saturday at 1. Then on Saturday, today they were a no show. I left at 1:20 after trying to call and text. The only relpy was "how did you get this number." read more

I was looking for something fun for my girls (11 & 17) to do this summer which was social distancing friendly. We have never been on a horse and was a little worried that my younger daughter would chicken out. Amanda helped my girls get on their horses and then brought out a third horse for me. I told her that neither I nor my husband would be riding. She gently insisted and we decided to go for a ride as well. I am so glad that she convinced us to ride as well. It was such a great experience. As a city girl I would never have imagined that I would ride a horse. The horses were very gently and well trained. They made the this a great experience in addition to our guides Amanda and Ryan. We plan on returning with my two boys and maybe a few friends! read more

WARNING!!! 50/50 chance when you show up for your apt. No one will come out to service you! My husband drove 1 hour had an apt at 9am for a private tour For my birthday and waited to hours, ended up leaving cause no one showed! Seems they just do what they feel like with no regard to people's time or schedule! called and texted multiple time the only guy there was there maintenance and he just told us that when he tried waking them up from there sleep they just continued to go back to sleep! So disappointed! read more

This was seriously the BEST 2 weeks ever. I was taken back by the bond the girls formed with your horses. I just walked around and watched and was lucky to grab some memorable photos.. They got to know each other truly. I love the level of respect and trust they exchanged. My girls know how to care for horses and respect the hard work that goes into caring for them. Ms Amanda was a like a child whisperer.. We will for sure be back. read more

Equestrian Quest Stables is peaceful and relaxing place to ride the trails! Amanda and Ryan made me a my family feel warm and welcomed. My husband was a little nervous about riding a horse since he had never ridden before, but really felt at ease. They paired him with a horse that fit him just right. I would defiantly consider going horse back riding. If you live in the area check out the summer camp they offer... read more

We had a Groupon and neither one of us had ridden in a long time. We headed out to Geneva on a Saturday afternoon. MapQuest can take you right there. The stable was nothing special but the horses were beautiful. Very well taken care of. When we got there there were two other couples with Groupon's as well. They chose the horse for you. They help you get on the horse and that's it. Not a lot of riding instructions given. You just hang on and let the horse do it's thing. The guide took off in a golf cart and horses just follow the golf cart around the property. The riding was about 50 minutes. There was not a lot of interaction with the horse besides riding. No running or trotting just walking around the property. Good for beginners or someone that just wants to ride. If you expect anything more, this might not be the place for you. read more

We had a bad experience. We arrived for our scheduled 1PM trail ride purchased thru Groupon. No one was around and another party had been waiting since 10:30AM. We spoke with a woman in the house who seemed to be the owner but she contracted the management to another company. Eventually a ride returned but the leader would not speak to us and shortly afterword got in his car and drove away. The woman told us he went to lunch. We waited until 2:45PM and he had not returned. The 10:30AM group was still waiting! It was a little girls birthday party! We requested and received a refund from Groupon. The Groupon was already marked "redeemed". (Thank you, Groupon!). But although the horses seemed in reasonably good shape, this is a poorly managed operation. Be careful! read more

While I hoped that this would have ended with a mere complaint, and a fix, the person handling customer service felt that it was necessary to refute my review rather than attempt to fix what they had done wrong. I purchased a trail ride for two, and had an additional family of four, who did not have a reservation, join our trip. While the family was kind, this was not part of what I had paid for. Then to make things worse, I rode a horse in which they specially stated "needs a chiropractor but if you ride him long enough he'll walk better", which felt borderline abusive. When I contacted the establishment for a fix, they said that they were trying to appease everyone, and allowed the family of four, without an appointment, to join our ride without our permission. Following this, here is a taste of what I had to deal with. read more

I was extremely disappointed by the poor customer service provided and the little care they give for inexperienced horse riders like me. They gave me a horse called "heaven" that tried to buck me several times and that would not listen to my directions, my horse also had to be in the back of all the other trail riders or else she would have thrown me off (Keep in mind that I had told them several times prior to getting a horse that I was a first-time rider, and they still gave me one of the most uneasy horses in the stable) They also had me and my partner wait 50 minutes past our appointment time. Horrendous experience, please research for other stables before you choose Equestrian Quest. read more

My family was given a Groupon for an hour trail ride for Christmas. We made a reservation for Saturday at 1 pm. When we arrived, there was no one there to greet us. We found the front office and were told by the owner that they were not doing trail rides today. I explained that I made the reservation and was never contacted about a cancellation. I drove over an hour to get there. She just said that the horses were all lame today and to email her to reschedule. No apologies. When I contacted Groupon, I could not get a credit to my account because it was a gift. I'm very disappointed with both companies and there poor customer service. read more

I really enjoyed this place I came with a big group today for my 26 birthday and I have to say I really loved the whole experience with the horses.

I also had a chance to give them a snack after the whole trail ride =) loved it great experience well worth the money read more

Very Disappointing. :( I scheduled a 8am horse ride for my 2 children, niece, & myself. After a hour of waiting, finally spoke to someone. Will not mention the worker's name. I felt they were very rude. Especially w/ the other riders there, I felt they did not care & disrespected. I understand life & family can make running a business harder, but at the same time a little consideration would have went a long way. I really do hope in the future, this doesn't happen to another potential customer. Your customers are keeping your ranch & farm alive & running. Please think about that! read more
