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

I moved to Ohio from Florida in May 2021. I met Brian at the first farm I boarded my mare. By…read moreAugust of 2022 it was time for us to find a new barn for a variety of reasons. By then, Brian and his family had opened Creek Hill. It was a little further away than the other facility, but it was less for full board and most of my drive was highway. Long story short, I moved her there and both of us couldn't be happier. The barn may not have the bells and whistles of other farms, but the level of care is exceptional! My OTTB is calm, comfortable, and has never looked better. Tons of turn out weather permitting. Quality care at an affordable price is hard to come by, but this farm has both! Highly recommend!

Not a big casino person. But I am a big food person, and there are several restaurants down here…read more So I knew eventually I would try them out. And I knew eventually I would come to Scioto Downs at some point. I always wanted to come here, ever since we drove past it in its original guise when I was a kid on the way to family get-togethers. I wasn't into horse racing or anything, but the idea sounded interesting, and later in life, I knew people that came down here, and one who was a jockey. But I just never made it down. And then when it became a casino, there really wasn't a draw there for me. It's pretty big, but not huge as far as casinos go. The hotel and the restaurants are on the northern end. The inside is a pretty standard casino, with flashing lights, and noise, although it's really not as noisy and jingly as some of them are. Pretty decent music playing most of the time, interrupted every once in a while by someone saying "I want money!" Or maybe "I won money!" But on the whole a pleasant enough atmosphere without being the sort of casino carnival you often see. Well, there's plenty of that still. But not overwhelmingly so. There are what they call open air terraces, covered outdoor areas with chairs and tables and sometimes slot machines. The one at least has a bar out there too. So, you can pull the handle outside in nice weather, or on a gray 20 degree day. There are free drink stations in one or two places inside, which you might want to keep in mind before you go eat. Food ranges from basic to brewpub to somewhat upscale Italian. Staff were friendly. You can spend a lot of money here if you want to. Or you can just come eat like I did. Not far out of town, plenty of parking. Apparently, they still have racing out back, although I didn't see it, and that's probably only on weekends in good weather. But they do have screens inside showing other horse races, and other sports. And it looks like betting facilities for those things. I don't know, I'll keep an eye on their schedule, maybe they have musical acts or something to come see.

The casino area seems dated and smelly. Separate area for smokers…read more The redeeming quality is the outdoor racing area.
