I took my 6 year old granddaughter, Charlotte, to Southern Pines for their Foundational Horse…read moreLesson a week ago and she is still talking about it. Jen Daly was so good with her, teaching her all the fundamentals from the tact room, to grooming the horse, and riding the horse. Too often parents just take their kids to "ride a horse" without learning to appreciate how much goes into taking care of a horse. Charlotte learned all those things in a couple of hours, she even mucked the stall and enjoyed it. Jen had her riding Lola (a wonderfully gentle horse) within a matter of minutes and steering the horse on her own. I only wish Charlotte lived here year round so I could enroll her in ongoing lessons at Southern Pines. A very clean, well managed facility where it's clear to see how much they love and care for the horses, the property and their clients.

I have been boarding here for a month now. Incredible place! I recently purchased a horse and am…read morebasically a beginner. I did lots of research to find just the right boarding facility. I thought I had found one, but it didn't work out. I came across Star 4 Ranch and took a tour. It is amazing to say the least! It is just a little bit more expensive, but you get so much more for your money! Unlike most of the barns I looked into. Many boarding facilities seem like it is someone's barn, and they are letting you keep your horse there. Star 4 operates like an actual business! They have tons of extra services, at a cost, you can get there ie groom, exercise your horse, lunge your horse and they do riding lessons! It is 2000 acres, gorgeous, has state of the art stalls, premium feed, a fully equipped lounge, yoga studio, and a covered arena! I just wish I had found this place first! Rachel is the manager and is very nice and accommodating. I am excited to be a part of this wonderful facility! Shout out to Lily and Carmen too! They take care of the horses. I give this an A+!

Rob gave us a choice of a history tour, music, or friendly conversation. We appreciated this as we live in St. Augustine and have heard the history many times. Ron asked us what type of music we liked and let it play. He had blankets for us which was great for the cool breezy night. We really enjoyed how friendly Rob was. We are very personable people and loved not only hearing about Rob, but he also shared some unknown facts about St. Augustine that you don't always here on the tours. It was a wonderful experience.

I was very disappointed with this place. I took my 7 year…read moreold there for two months and while facilities are good her instructor was not. She spent most of the lessons on her phone. It's unacceptable for a private lesson that I'm paying 60 dollars an hour. Also the business had the nerve to respond to my google review by saying they charged me a group rate which is a bold face lie. Lastly the response stated that the instructor Kimberly was showing something to my daughter on the phone, another shameless lie.
