Before coming in, Mandy was very helpful and responded quickly to my messages and questions. The day of the ride, the weather was great and my assigned horse, Spirit was just lovely. We got to explore a beautiful park that had a combination of wide, open spaces as well as smaller paths, completely surrounded by a variety of trees, vines and plants. I really appreciated the freedom and feeling of being away from the city. It might be helpful to mention that both Happi Farm and HGS share a location, however they are separate. In order to get to Hidden Stables you have to cross through Happi Farm, which can be a bit daunting, but honestly everyone worked swiftly to make sure people moved to the side & the animals were safe! I will definitely be back soon :) Thank you!

This barn is clean and friendly. The horses are looked out for by everyone because it's like a big family here. They are also turned out daily. There is an Olympic size dressage ring and also a jumping arena. I can't say enough about Kerstin, the trainer. She trains dressage, equitation and equestrian jumping. She is patient, kind, but also assertive. The best of everything. I'm so happy to be a part of this barn! If your looking to board, take lessons or purchase a horse you don't need to look any further.

Rolling Oaks is a lovely, sprawling 46 acre park that was purchased by Southwest Ranches in 2001…read more People who visit are encouraged to enjoy the passive nature of the peaceful surroundings. The site of this park was once a tree island in what was part of the Everglades. During the Second Seminole War, the US government tried to capture the Seminole indigenous people to send them out west on the Trail of Tears. Around 200 members of the tribe were led by Medicine Man Sam Jones to safety as they hid out in the Everglades. Artifacts relating to the Seminole's time here were discovered in a midden in the tree island. Middens are a kind of ancient garbage dump that can tell you a lot about the people who used to live here. Shells, bones, human waste, and tools, are often found in middens. Unfortunately it is believed that any uncollected artifacts from the midden were destroyed when the parks paved driveway was constructed in 1969. Another interesting feature of this park is that is home to a threatened species of raptor, the burrowing owl. Burrowing owls are considered endangered, threatened, or of special concern in nine U.S. states. Unlike other owls, they are not strictly nocturnal and are active during the day. They make their nests in underground burrows, which are dug out by ground squirrels and they prefer open grasslands. Burrowing owls are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act so you have to leave them alone. It was a treat to see one in the park before leaving him in peace. Rolling Oaks Park has two large open section with decades old ficus trees. Parking is available at the restored barn which can be rented for community and private events. Equestrian Trails run along the park's northern, southern, and western boundaries, joining with the trail along SW 178 Avenue/Mather Boulevard. The western pasture is open for your equestrian-riding and dog-walking. Freshwater fishing access is available at the southern boundary. There is also a butterfly garden, fitness trail, and enhanced wetlands. Many events are held throughout the year here including chili cookoffs and food truck round ups. Whether you're an equestrian, angler, fitness enthusiast, or simply someone like myself who enjoys history and nature, Rolling Oaks Park is an inviting outdoor space.

I purchased a groupon for Double Flush Stables and contacted them via text (as instructed on the…read moregroupon) I got an automated response stating all the [strict] rules then proceeded to schedule a date. Groupon's are not accepted on the weekends and so we only had weekday options. They get booked up fast and the earliest availability was one month out. On the day of our ride, we got a text an hour before the scheduled time stating our ride was cancelled due to the possibility of thunder storms. We tried to reschedule our ride for a closer date however it got pushed back another month. The stables had beautiful horses and other animals like goats, pigs and cows. We arrived a few minutes late and so we had to pay $20/ea to ride the horses. We rode the horses down a beautiful path in a park however we barely took pictures because we were told if we dropped anything the guide would charge us $20 for each time she had to get off the horse to retrieve the item. The trail ride was supposed to be 75 minutes but it was cut short. According to their rules, the wait time is deducted from the ride. We were 10 minutes late, and so we expected a 65 minute ride. We ended up riding for 45 minutes, so they actually deducted 30 minutes from the ride. I enjoy riding horses, therefore I enjoyed my time but I would not go back nor would I recommend these stables to others solely based on their lack of customer service. My advise to them would be to be more lenient. Smile. Don't be so abrupt, it definitely took away from the fun.

I made it clear if I ever found out anyone put their hands on my horse , we'd have a serious problem . I was worth more their than my weight I'm gold. Those that knew me, would attest to that. The owner's boyfriend got caught almost cheating with a woman that was kicking it to me as well so I told her to kick rocks. The dude got aggressive with me over "his customer " who bought 2 lessons from them in their lifetime, not to mention , even as a full board , mucked all the stalls in my barn from time of inception. Oh and apparently he wanted steroids from her as well. 2 real winners Their MO is to "seize your horse" , should you not pay, or try to call the cops on you for things you didn't do. Stay far clear if these people if for no other reason , then the fact that they hit their horses alone. And I'm sorry to tell ya double flush, beating your horse into obedience doesn't make you a trainer , it makes you an abuser . Don't get it twisted
