When we arrived, our lessons were delayed by 1 hour because they were running behind. We have friends in the area, so we did not mind coming back. Initially, we were impressed with the size of the the facility and the many horse stalls, but as our visit progressed, things got a little confusing. Mainly because the individuals helping us get ready for our lessons were so young and not very good at communicating with us about properly reigning our horses, adjusting the brindles, procedure, etc. My instructor, who was 15 assumed I had riden before and didn't bother telling me anything about what I could expect from my experience at Windemere, or what was expected of me.This was disapointing. Furthermore, the horse I was to ride, was very old and dirty. It looked as if he had not been brushed in days and his face was filthy. Seriously, I even asked for a warm rag, to clean him off, but was ignored. I must've spent at least 20 minutes brushing and getting to know him, b/c he was a little agitated and honestly, I couldn't blame him. His stall was small and dirty too. The wind was really whipping up and since the training arena is so barren, there were hardly any trees to break the wind, dirt was blowing in our eyes and hair. We just kept going round and round the training area and my horse Zippy was very slow and cranky. At about 45 minutes, I asked to stop the lesson. Luckily for my daughter, she got a younger horse and was having a nice time. Not so lucky for my husband, he suffered an injury while there and he never made it on the horse, since the stepping block slipped from under his feet and he came barreling down on it, (we later found out) fracturing two ribs. The staff was genuinely concerned and offered to call an ambulance, but he toughed it out and after writhing on the ground for about 10 minutes, sat out and did not want to cut our lessons short b/c he never gets to spend time with us and wanted us to have a nice time despite what happened. The owner offered to allow our daughter to take a free lesson in the future since her dad could not take a lesson. I thought this was nice, but after much thought have decided to decline. Seriously, you get what you pay for, but it would've been nice to spend some time with an experienced instructor to truly give you an Equestrian lesson prior to having mounted the horse and starting the actual lesson. Sometimes less is more. More time educating, less exprienced riders and less time going endlessly around the arena would have been better. An experience not so soon to be forgot, and not necessarily for the right reasons.

We finally got on the boat at 9:30 and the boat master was apologetic for the delay, that everyone had quit and he was the only person working and he had to come in on his day off. We asked if we could adjust the time to come back at 1:30 so that we received the 4 hours we had paid for and he told us that it was not an option because the boat was booked at 1:30, but that we could call and ask for discount or refund. The boat was nice and clean and ran well and we enjoyed our time on the water. However, upon our return I called to talk to the front office and was told that something could be done since we did not get our full 4 hours. My husband went to speak the man in the office and the man behind the counter was rude and unwilling to help. As he went to assist another customer, he told them that he needed to get them checked in so they would not get mad like the customer before them. My husband stated he was not mad, he just wanted a refund and not a discount towards another boat rental. The man behind the counter then proceeded to ask my husband if he wanted to take the conversation outside. This was beyond unacceptable.

The animals were all very sweet and hungry around dinner time! We could easily feed them through the wire fence, and everyone stayed safe that way. We didn't get there on a day with other activities but we would definitely try those next time. We were there around closing time but they graciously let us go in to feed everyone, and were super thankful. For feeding, this will take as long as the food you have to feed lasts, but again, other activities will make it more of a destination stop. We had a fun time watching and feeding as a short stop on our way to return our rental car and head to the airport.

She uncomfortably monitored like a warden everything that the children were doing. We could barely take pictures because she was always in the way. She even told one of the children playing on the slide to stop going up the opposite way. We felt uncomfortable being there. Amongst other things, basketballs/balls were deflated so that the children could not bounce them for basketball. Save your money and go to surge or rent a bounce house. I wouldn't take my pet back there. Further, She used a racial slurr when confronted about her lack of service. She will NOT be in business for long. I strongly do not recommend this establishment. It's because of clients that she's in business. If google allowed videos I would upload her unprofessionalism.

There isn't really a lot of room just enough to hand launch up to 2 kayaks. There is also another location off Blanding Blvd to be able to access this same creek. **Just be aware of the I-295 bridge clearance during periods of high tide if you decide to head further up-stream. and DON'T forget your bug spray. Heading North from Collins Rd. the upper section of the river is a really enjoyable paddle. Lots of wildlife and mossy covered trees. The water is very placid and doesn't get rough until you get to the lower potions, half way between Collins Rd. and the 103rd street bridge. Due to the depth in the river's upper portion 15-25ft, there can occasionally be a lot of boat traffic. I tried to stay closer to the sides of the river as to not deal with wind and wake. Also just south of Tillie K. Fowler Park on the river there is several small creeks only 3 ft wide or wide enough for one kayak. That maze in and out of the brush, but ran out of time to explore all of these. One of the major things I wanted to check out were the big piles in the river just west of Yukon. There's a few rumors that perhaps the Navy had a submarine back there during WW1 or WW2. But nothing confirmed. The river is surely deep enough except around the 103rd street bridge where the water is only 6-8ft with silt.
