You will learn about horses both in and out of the saddle, and I would recommend her to riders of all skill levels. If you've always thought riding might be a fun hobby to take up but maybe a bit intimidating, Emberwood is a perfect starting point. For students who are advanced enough or become advanced enough through lessons, Natalie offers partial onsite horse leases. I've been leasing one of her horses since fall of 2020 and it's been a great experience. We also go to shows if you're interested in showing.

I wanted to go to a small business riding facility, but I would NEVER go here again. We arrived…read more30min early as requested, only to be left waiting for an hour. We did not get on our horses until an hour past our scheduled time, and the next group had already shown up. Our trail guide was vaping and talking on the phone the whole time, the vapor blowing back into my face. But worst of all, the trail guide did not tighten my saddle, claiming that she doesn't believe in having the girths super tight. When the saddle proceeded to slip, just a few yards from where we took off, it was blamed on me. She claimed it was because I have uneven stirrups and she "knew they didn't look right". I was highly upset by this experience and her ignorance. Do not go here, it is unsafe and unpleasant. I will highly recommend trying a different facility.

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

The owners were happy to get 2 more horses ready for me and my friend in their 4 o'clock slot. When we arrived there was a very friendly atmosphere and many cute animals playing in the yard to watch while you waited. We then signed in and they gave us a quick walkthrough and we were on our way. The ride was about an hour and a half throughout their beautiful property. There was one other party with us, and through the whole ride the hosts were talking to us making you feel very at home. I would definitely recommend this is you want to go on a nice horseback ride this is the place. Special shout out to "cloud" for chauffeuring me around on his back:)

My mom grew up riding and training horses and while it's been years, I thought it would be a great 60th birthday gift to go riding in Hocking Hills. After a few searches online, I found this place. The booking was easy and the owner, Jackie, was very attentive and communicative throughout the process. The weather was absolutely perfect on the day we arrived and we were part of a small group including two others, making it 4 total, which was honestly ideal. We were greeted with a warm welcome and Jackie got straight to introducing us to our paired horses. She was great at putting us each with a horse that would go well with our riding experience. I got Duke, who was a sweetheart from start to finish. He did a fabulous job and I had no problems at all. He was just as Jackie explained he would be. After getting our mini riding lesson, away we went. We rode through beautiful meadows and even through the forest with high trees, downed logs, and a ton of brush. Every single one of the horses did great. They loved to stop to eat and Jackie knew all the good spots for "cheesecake." That's what they called the horse's favorite snack. Funny, because that's my favorite too! We rode around for just over an hour after getting our lessons and it was wonderful. Everyone had a blast and I would totally go again, only for a longer ride next time. I highly recommend it!
