    This was my first time visiting the World Equestrian Center, and even though we were in a rush, I…read morewas so impressed. We stopped by last minute to take a few graduation photos of my niece before heading to her ceremony, and the grounds made the perfect backdrop. We didn't have much time to explore because we were trying to get to graduation, but everywhere we looked was beautiful. The property is well maintained, clean, and full of gorgeous photo opportunities.

As always, the World Equestrian Center itself was beautiful. The pool area was immaculate, the restrooms were clean and well stocked, and the overall facility lived up to the high standard we've come to expect. Unfortunately, our experience at the Horse to Water pool bar was disappointing. It was a slower day, with only a handful of other guests around, so the bar was far from busy. When we approached, another couple was also waiting. The four of us stood there for several minutes looking around because, from the customer side of the bar, all we could see were soda machines. The shelves and glass door refrigerators appeared empty, so we genuinely weren't sure if alcoholic beverages were even served there. When the bartender came over, she didn't greet us or smile, and her demeanor immediately made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. We greeted her first, despite the fact that we had been patiently waiting with smiles on our faces. The other guests asked what kinds of drinks were available, and her response was simply, "Regular drinks." The four of us looked at each other, confused, since there wasn't any visible alcohol behind the bar. My friend then asked if she could make a vodka seltzer with lime, and the bartender said yes before walking off to retrieve liquor bottles that were stored out of sight. To be clear, the drink itself was perfectly fine. Our disappointment had nothing to do with the quality of the beverage. It was entirely the customer service. A simple smile, friendly greeting, or willingness to answer questions would have made all the difference. For a destination that prides itself on being an award winning destination with exceptional amenities, the customer service at the Horse to Water pool bar fell well below expectations. During this particular visit, we left feeling more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests.
