A person always needs extra patience with children and their usual lack of experience and Jeff was great. Jeff owns 90 acres and it has been in his family for 115 years. His trails cover a wide variety of terrain. We rode across grass fields, creeks and streams with just a little bit of water, some muddy areas, up and down some hilly areas deep in the woods with fallen leaves, cut through a pasture or two, and crossed a road here and there. A very nice ride. My horse, Ozzy, knew which way to go but despite following my granddaughters horse a few yards away he occasionally wanted to take the wrong fork in the trail or try for a shortcut so I got to use my riding experience and actually guide the horse. And a few times I wasn't paying enough attention in the beginning, be broke into a trot which was fun but made me pay more attention. I had good cell coverage all the way there to use GPS to find his place on the southwest side of Morgantown. I'm sure we will be coming back and I'll never remember how to get there :-)

This ranch was perfect for our weeklong visit to see family in Bloomington. My adolescent girls…read morewere able to ride horses every other morning on various trails with Cowboy Wayne. Communication about scheduling was easy and the price was good. My 2 girls had very different levels of skill in riding and Wayne was able to assess which horses would suit their personalities. In addition, he taught them a few tips about horseback riding even though we were only requesting a trail ride. The tack room was impeccably organized. The humidity of Bloomington made the shaded trail rides both refreshing and invigorating for the girls. Each morning they rushed towards the barn for their ride and after each outing they came back happy, looking forward to playing with the old and young dogs who room to round the barn. We can't wait to go back.

Went back after 10 years and I didn't recognize the saddle barn area. Not cleaned up from trails…read morecoming in or going out, manure pile is the first thing you pass going in, what once was grass and fence in the pony track isn't anymore, and only the ponies were saddled, not the trail horses. One of the owners wasn't dressed to ride if needed (meaning in a jumper not jeans) and if barn is off limits, which the aisle was cluttered anyway, it should be roped off until needing to pass through with a horse. Previous operator ran 80 trail horses and a dozen ponies and it was always kept in great shape and clean for visitors, horse owner always ready to lead a trail and horses ready with plenty of hay in the racks of the pens. Very disappointed that it is allowed to look like that. Only good thing was there was mounting steps but the location and permanent look questionable. The horses and ponies looked good.

I was encouraged when told they would call us when we were 25 minutes out, but then they said the cell service didn't work, so we were afraid to leave to go hiking or eat. The whole day was wasted waiting for this experience. The whole process seemed very inefficient, and it's hard to understand why they don't take reservations. Allowing guests to book a time slot ahead of their visit would make things so much smoother and save families from wasting an entire day just waiting around. Brown County is such a beautiful place, but unfortunately, this experience really took away from the enjoyment.

Anyone under 18 that can control a horse can ride but they must have a helmet. The horses are well behaved and are very mild mannered for those that might be timid.

I rode quite a bit many years ago. I had a service expectation in my mind for how things would go and unfortunately the team at this ranch did not deliver. On arrival, parking was not clearly marked (broken signs and no arrows to direct you). Once out of the car, there was no one to greet us or give next steps. We were told by visitors already waiting to step inside the barn to sign a waiver. Once inside, the staff member who wondered out of the dark handed the waiver to me and explained it. Yet she never said hello or introduced herself. It all felt very transactional or as if we weren't welcomed. I can only assume how many trail rides are provided in a day or week but the experience is still special to visitors. I would like to think they still remember this. My children were assigned horses (Cherokee and Widow) and given basic riding instructions from other staff members (they stated afterward the women providing them were not very warm). I was given a horse named Stitch that I did not enjoy or recommend to anyone who has never ridden before. He was headstrong and unfriendly. I can say: The 60 minute ride through the wooded trails was beautiful and very quiet. Our group totaled six so I guess I assumed there would be conversation from the trail lead but there was none. No water was provided or information about the land we were on. I was grateful for the instructor stopping before bigger hills to describe what was ahead and how to best handle it, it helped my kiddos, but I can't say as I would come to this place again. The horses looked thin and tired. Not to mention the barn bathroom was exactly what you'd expect: dusty dirty and rusty. Perhaps our expectations were too high? One big plus: the friendliness of my children's horses and the barn cats.
