I came to a silent Bookclub event here last week called Pages with Ponies and just had to come check it out. I loved that they were able to roam around us and we could pet them. I did get some reading done and it's very peaceful here. After we finished reading we were able to make a bowl of food to feed the horses and ponies. This was a unique experience. Some things to know when traveling to get here make sure you turn on 10655 Katy Hockley Rd. There's a black mailbox that has an arrow to turn there. Do it because I missed it the first time and it was pain to u-turn on this tiny road. It's a bumpy road and parking was limited for our party but we made it work. I enjoyed my time here.

This is an absolutely beautiful and very special place to visit located in Katy, Texas. We had a…read morewonderful visit with two small kiddos (ages 5 & 8) and they loved every minute of their experience here. Our small group started with miniature pony brushing and then got to dress up their animals in various accessories. From there they got on smaller horses with a guide leading them and learned basic skills, like stopping (whoa) and had a lot of fun riding around the enclosed area circle. They even played a few games like red light green light. After that they learned to walk with the miniature ponies and even got to take them over a jump and through an obstacle course. We then finished the day with a little carriage ride with the owner, Paige. The highlight of their visit (they said later) was learning to clean out a horse stall. Who knew they loved cleaning so much! All of the guides were wonderful. The main gal that did the instructing was just so lovely and sweet to the kids explaining everything with patience. Definitely a must visit for anyone looking for this kind of experience in the area.

Each child guest had an opportunity to ride a horse before the food & cake cutting. The stable hands were very helpful and friendly. They ended the day by painting the ponies' sides on the property (paint washes off and is harmless to the animals). There are also a few friendly dogs on the property that interacted with us. Enjoyed our time and look forward to booking a bday party for our kids as well

After a short email requesting info on their lesson structure and cost ,and briefly describing my…read moresituation and riding experience, I received a one line response saying they have a wait list for lessons. No information, no other even nice comments like, "We would love you to come take lessons with us, but we are running a 6 month lesson waitlist. If you would like to be added we would gladly do this." No......Here is their response. "We do have knowledge of natural horsemanship however, we also have a waiting list for our lesson program currently." This makes me feel they could care less about having my business and about me. I have trained at far too many establishments over the years where they care and respect the horses more than they do the people. I love horses too, but if I ran a riding school, it would be about helping people connect to horses and enjoy horses, and respecting both. Also I must say their reluctance to give any prices for anything on their website or in this email response makes me wonder. Are prices variable? do you make them up on the day? What is the deal. Bear in mind this is my only contact with this company and certainly does not tell the whole story. They could be a terrific group that is knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I will never know. I am moving on to somewhere else, where even a rejection is done with courtesy and thoughtfulness.

I took my daughter to Sneak Away Riding Club on Huffmesiter yesterday for a fun, introductory…read morelesson. The trainer, Yvette was harsh and negative with all of the instruction with my daughter (under the age of 10). She made her feel that she did nothing right and responded with sarcasm or negativity. She also took a horse brush from my daughter twice and without permission touched it to her back, once, to demonstrate to her how she was doing it wrong, then again, to her face, near her eye. I will repeat that....She took an unsanitized brush that was on various parts of the horse from a bucket and rubbed it on her face saying that it is how it feels to the horse. This is unacceptable. Not only do you not touch a minor without permission but that could have led to an infection. Her face had bristle marks on it and she felt like she had a bruise. My daughter left in tears and her self esteem for something fun was completely obliterated. She also removed the reigns (this was her 1st lesson with this instructor) and told her she was not balanced. She was scared. I do not feel that this person should be working with children.
