    I sent my 3 1/2 year-old Lusitano gelding here for training upon recommendation by a friend…read more Unfortunately, for me and my horse, it was a terrible experience. I don't think Yvonne ever spent any time training him, he was passed off to a working student with no supervision. I would have to literally beg for any updates on the progress of his training. After three months, he came home(North Carolina) and he is worse than when I sent him there. I now have found someone who is amazing and is helping him work through the problems that were created by sending him to Yvonne. Beware, only send your horse here if you live in close proximity to her training center, so that you can see what is happening to your horse.

    Terribly unprofessional experience with the owners daughter (lesson instructor) Kayla. July '22 She…read moreoffered me a 10pack of prepaid lessons for $700 normally $75 ea. Before committing I received assurance from both the owner and her daughter that it would be no problem to use the balance of the lessons when I returned this season. Upon my return I reached out by text and phone requesting to schedule my remaining lessons on my own horse and received no replys for nearly a week until I reached out to another sister. Finally texts from Kayla saying she can not give me lessons because her horse is booked and her mom won't give her permission to use her horses, (my request was to use my own horse, something they clearly offer) claims she gave me 4 lessons when she only gave me 2 and claims the lessons are $100 ea! Thankfully I have the text messages stating the lessons were 70$. I asked for the dates of the lessons to double check my own record. Kayla refuses to provide dates and sent a partial refund via Venmo. When I followed up with another request for dates of the actual lessons I am being charged for the unprofessional rude reply is "stop bothering me". BEWARE! Get everything in writing and don't trust anything your told.

    Wouldn't recommend! I booked 2 night horseback rides for myself and a friend and this business did…read morenot show up for the booked rides. We arrived and waited, trying to contact the business to find out where they were. 5 minutes after our ride was scheduled to start I received a message that the owner was out of the state. She said it was a mistake and I shouldn't have been able to book on her website, but to me this is just bad business. You don't allow customers to book horseback rides if you are unavailable. I'm giving it 1 star because I did receive a refund, but in my opinion they should have offered a free ride since this was completely their fault. This complete lack of customer focus ruined my evening and will prevent me from contacting this business for services ever again!

    This place had great reviews on Yelp so I went for it! It was slightly underwhelming for what the…read moreother reviews were saying. It was an experience to be in the rural country area of Florida. Time stops here so don't expect everything to be as the time slot shows. It's a dirt road out to a house with a little old sign that barely appears to be the business. We pulled in and looked around for the owner and eventually found him preparing everything for our ride. It took some time standing around waiting for some of this family to arrive to go on the ride with us. In the mean time we let the goats and chickens and horses. All the horses look well taken care of and all the animals seem happy so that was a good sign. There's a definitely a moment of "what did I get us into" when we pulled up to the barn and saw the behind the scenes and waited around a bit for them to load everything up into the trailer. We followed them to the trailhead in our car and then saddled up and headed out. I've been on better trails before for the ride so it was a bit underwhelming, but the Florida foliage was unique and pretty. Our guide was training a new lead horse so we had a few jumpy moments, but he knows what he's doing and showed us his training skills. All our horses were very well behaved and felt safe to be on. Overall, it's definitely a novice business and nothing special, but the opportunity to interact with some real country folks made it feel authentic and was neat.

I really recommend this ride to anyone! they do a 75$ hour dry trail ride and a 120$ 3 hour ride where you spend one hour riding to the river an hour litterly swimming with the horses and an hour coming back ! We did the dry ride and will def be back for the swimming with the horses. Thank you for showing my mom and i a great time!!
