That's what I get to do here. I've ridden many of the horses and ponies and have always felt safe. Shae owns the barn, trains the horses, and teaches lessons. All of her horses are loved, well-cared for, and do well with riders at all levels. She is a patient instructor, cares about her clients, and is passionate about her business and horses in general. She's also a certified saddle fitter. Weather-permitting, lessons are outside year round. From the outdoor arena, there's a lovely view of a beautiful grassy field where the horses love to graze with a gorgeous tree-lined backdrop. During inclement weather (when it's simply too cold or rainy), there's a very nice, large indoor arena. Lessons are private and semi-private and priced fairly. Shae teaches all ages. I am super happy at this barn. I think the world of Shae as an instructor, trainer, business owner, and person. You're in good hands here, and if you enjoy it half as much as I do, your life will be brighter when you take equestrian lessons at Free Spirit .

NOT A TRAIL RIDE. Beautiful horses, clearly well cared for. I started off the ride really hopeful…read moredespite Sara being late getting the horses ready. Both 10 year olds with me were excited. After 2 trips around the 1/10 mile round trip of the small pond in the backyard of her 1/2 acre lot, I began to get concerned. We were led with a volunteer who was walking my horse, so as we were chatting I realized the plan of the trail ride is to circle the tiny pond 6 times and walk a 1/4 mile down an open road and back in one direction. No interesting nature, no shade on the road and there were concerns about going in the other direction on the road when we asked for a different view (apparent neighbor issue). In total we circled the pond 3 times and went down the road and back 2 times. I don't get alot of time with just my big kids and certainly we don't have the ability to provide horse lessons, but on this one day I was hoping to have an experience in nature with my children allowing them to see Mother Nature's beauty. The picture in Oak openings is not where trail rides are conducted and there is no space for a bit of nature wonder at her stable. I walked her horses and paid $50/ person for it. When confronted, Sara explained that some places just walk their horses down the driveway and call it a trailride;therefore she refused any level of recompense. Don't be hoodwinked this is not the trail ride you are looking for, you are just exercising her horses for her and paying for the privilege.

The facilities are spacious, clean well ventilated. There are several tacking areas with cross ties and an indoor wash rack. The indoor arena is large and usually empty.

The pastures are spacious and the horses are grouped compatibly. They feed really great grain too!

We started as a summer camper to "try it out" as we were looking for a new barn for our daughter to grow into.

We were looking for a place to ride horses near Tiffin, OH (where the girlfriend is from) and we…read morehappened upon the Triple T Bed and Breakfast, which is closer to Findlay, OH. It's about 2.5 hours from Cleveland and would probably be a decent stopover if you're spending a day or two at Cedar Point. To be honest, it's out in the middle of nowhere; but that's also part of its charm. We got out there the Saturday before Labor Day. Matt Theis, one of the owners was out giving a carriage ride to a bride and groom that had just gotten married. We were more than happy to wait out by the beautiful pool until he got back. We also got a chance to walk out towards the stable. They had 4 beautiful and friendly horses, just waiting to be ridden. We said our hellos and looked around and decided to dip our feet. After a few minutes we were greeted by one of the Theis's daughters, who gave us a nice tour around the place. We also found out that we would be the only guests for the night in the main house! We're not anti-social, but it is nice to have the whole place to yourself. We also found out that the reason we had the place to ourselves is that the B&B had only opened in August of last year. Needless to say, they are on the right track. Later that night, after our own charming ride in a pony cart behind a feller named Chester, we decided to head into the county fair (another reason we were out in the country for the weekend). It was the smaller variety of county fair, but with all the usual varieties of mullets, corn dogs and tractor pulls. Ah, always a good time. We retired that night, full of cotton candy and candy apples, to our really nicely decorated and cozy room. Each bedroom at the B&B has it's own bathroom (something that not all B&Bs have), and it was recently redone with some very nice furnishings and hardware. The bed was a comfortable queen size with some pretty quilts. The satellite TV and free wireless internet satisfied the geek in me that usually is hurting to find an outlet out in the country :). The next morning, we woke up and had breakfast at the pre-determined time. The Theis' were up and ready with some delicious fare. I believe their signature breakfast item is the apple fritter french toast. Wow. As Matt said, try it before you put syrup on it, because it really didn't need anything else. Round that out with some hearty bacon, eggs, toast, fresh peaches and black coffee...well, it doesn't get better than that. After breakfast we had also arranged for a trail ride on some of the horses they keep on the farm. Matt saddled the horses in the barn out by the guest house (also available as lodging) and I took "Sonny" and the gf took "Indy" out for a jaunt. They have about a mile or two of trails throughout their woods and Matt took us riding through them. It was pretty calm the whole way, but the thing that sets the Triple T apart from other trail rides, is they allowed us to ride around in the pasture. Sonny wasn't liking the idea of getting above a slow walk, but Indy got up there. Matt even let me switch to his horse and "Cherokee" flew as soon as I sat down in the saddle. That'll hurt tomorrow. All in all, it was a great day/night. The proprietors couldn't have been nicer, the surroundings were beautiful and secluded and the price was right. We got a "fair" special of 75 per night and paid the usual 25 each for the trail ride. However, if we had been in just about any hotel, it would have likely cost the same, being a holiday weekend (and wouldn't have included a trail ride). I would highly suggest you get out to the country for a weekend and try out the Triple T B&B!
