We just moved to the area from Tampa Bay two months ago and discovered Black Creek Hill Farms while…read morelooking for trail rides. We are so glad we found them. Brenda, the owner, is an incredibly warm and friendly person who does some wonderful things at her farm. The day we arrived for our trail ride Brenda greeted us, got us situated with gear and horses. Then she personally adjusted the saddles and stirrups to ensure the best fit. The farm has a number of volunteers who help guide the riders through the trails in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Our two volunteers were incredibly polite and thoughtful as they guided us through the ride. The horses were gentle and responsive. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. After we returned to the stables Brenda talked about the impact the horse therapy they do at the farm has had on participants. This has literally changed peoples lives. Outstanding place and people. We will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended.

They also all enjoyed holding the goats and feeding the chickens. The party was all-inclusive - pizza, horse cupcakes, personalized decorations, paper products, and favors. I loved the favors they created during the party - individual printed photos of each child on her horse in a beautiful frame - so sweet! The birthday girl received an extra photo on her horse with the entire party. We received a lot of compliments from parents on how unique the party was and how much they loved the framed photos. Jamie and John were so easy to work with and were so nice and patient with the girls during the party! I highly recommend Excel Kids Pony Parties!!!

They do not check or respond to emails. They over charge and the trainers do not really teach for progression. My daughter kept being put on horses who clearly do not want anyone riding them so she could not learn any new techniques. When providing feedback to the owner, Andi, she doesn't follow up or even address it. It's clear they are only about taking money and not giving quality services. In all honesty, they should lose any business license they have based on the lack of service. When multiple texts, calls or emails repeatedly go unreturned, there's a huge problem with saying this is a legit business.
