Upon our early/Punctual arrival, Barb and Robert were still preparing the horses for our trail ride, so my husband and I took a little, exploratory walk around the ranch. We were able to meet several Horses and a very sweet Goat. One of the horses is Ziva... she's an absolute Lover! We returned back to the stable to meet our Horses, Dancer and Houston. Dancer was my Riding Buddy and he was a very good Boy. I Love Him. My husband was paired with Houston, a beautiful Painted and also a very good Boy. Barb and Robert assisted us with mounting and briefed us on what to expect of the trail as well as our horses disposition and preferred methods of control, i.e. DO'S/DON'TS. They were Super Nice and Funny TOO! The trail was beautiful and serene. WE HAD SOOO MUCH FUNNN!!! AND Will Definitely Return , as we are local residents. I'm so pleased to know that I can travel just a few moments down the road and feel so far removed from the hectic bustle of Disney. I Can't Wait to go Back. I even think that I'd like to be paired with Dancer again. And AGAIN! Hope you enjoyed your Birthday Barb!

Wonderful guides and horses and amazing scenery!…read more The last time I road a horse was over 30 years ago, but the patient guides and horses at II Ventures put me at ease. Dancer knew the trail well and kept up with the other horses so I could enjoy the beautiful Green Swamp and some great conversation with the owners. II Ventures would. E perfect for new and experienced riders, families, singles, young, older, or whomever wants to ride. I highly recommend!

This was a nice excursion to do, we went on a Saturday afternoon. We saw zebras, oxen, gazelle,…read moreostrich's, cheetahs, a peacock, camels, parrots, ducks etc. The land is beautiful, and many of the animals aren't behind a fence so they roam freely. They come pretty close to the cars so you get that up close feel. At the end you can even feed some of the animals (goats, lambs) if you pay extra for that option. It's very family friendly and our tour guide was knowledgeable. As others have said you connect to a radio station and can hear her throughout the tour in the car. You can expect to spend around 2 hours here. Some suggestions that could have made the excursion more enjoyable and efficient would be: -Have everyone sign and fill out forms beforehand -If a car hasn't paid to feed the animals, allow a lane for them to leave so they're not just sitting and waiting on the other cars who did pay to feed the animals -Have more than one exit and entrance (this may not be feasible, but it might help with suggestion 1 Overall we had a great time and I would recommend it. Make sure you have a working radio and air conditioning if it's hot!

It was an AMAZING visit. HIGHLY recommend!!!!!…read more Went with "kids" aged 11-22 yrs and this was the first time for most of us. I just can't say enough good things about our experience and about Gus and his whole staff (including the horses). He did a phenomenal job teaching everyone about how to handle our horses and carefully matched each rider with the right mount. Even our most nervous riders were smiling and confident by the time we hit the trail.

I booked this experience for my husband and I for his birthday. Gus was direct and accommodating,…read morehowever I expected a little more of a trail ride. We rode out from his stable down his driveway to the road where the horses were walking on the pavement and around a basketball goal (he was directing us to walk them in the grass however, there was very little room to do this because it was in the right of way) and then he had us heard cattle which was not fun because we aren't experienced, and it ended up being more stressful than enjoyable. One of his horses had an injury on his back and hoof so he was limping and I had to lean forward as to not bother his sore - in my opinion it was not worth the money. It's not an actual "trail ride". Its up and down someone's property and street. He also had his daughter come in on a Saturday to help out which was odd. I'm being generous by giving 3 stars.

He made sure we all understood what to do and guided us through the process without being overbearing. We were able to take in the gorgeous sites and just enjoy our time without having to worry about a thing! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the communication leading up to this event was a little rough. We had to reschedule a few times, due to storms and a couple in our party getting sick, and texts/calls were not answered in a timely manner. There was also some confusion about where to meet and what time and such. However, that did not derail the actual experience, which was lovely. I would recommend, just be aware that your communication attempts may go unanswered for a while.

Communication was superior when setting up the reservations and the day as it progressed…read more A very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Horsespring Farm is the Best…read more After moving to Florida, I tried a bunch of things but nothing really clicked--until I found Horsespring Farm. It was my first time ever riding a horse, and from the moment I called, Marylin made me feel welcome. She was kind, helpful, and got me set up for my first ride. Since then, I've been riding there every week. It's always a fun, positive experience. The team isn't just professional--they treat you like family. Unlike other places where you feel like just another customer, Horsespring makes a real connection with you. It's more than just riding--it's a place where you belong and make friends. Horsespring Farm has the best prices I've seen, and the rides are unbeatable. It's definitely worth it. I've completely fallen in love with the horses--each one has their own unique personality. They're all great and incredibly friendly.

While staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness with my daughter, I decided to book us a fun trail ride…read moreas we both love horses and get great perks at Disney since my mom is a retired executive. This ranch is a hidden gem ! As a rider, I really enjoyed this ride . It was beautiful and the horses are well maintained . My daughter felt safe and could've stayed here all day. We did come back the next day with my Nieces to ride as the ponies are perfect for the kids ! We are looking forward to coming back during the cooler weather months or holidays. FYI : The pricing is very reasonable....1 lap (10 dollars) or 2 laps (15 dollars), which gives kids plenty of time to enjoy the ride without feeling rushed. In addition to the pony rides, they also have large horses for the adults and you do not have to stay at the resort to book a ride. Check the disney app or website to book!
