I don't know how the actual trail is, all I can speak to is the customer service portion of attempting to schedule a trail ride. First, you have to text a number to request a reservation (Only on Saturday or Sunday). But it could take 24 hours to get a response, you know after you text again. If you email them they say "You have to deal with 8166741278 we don't book trail rides via email" "we only do a few rides a weekend weather permitting, we have regular full time jobs,a family and travel." Umm what? If you don't have time to run a business, then Don't Run a Business" Is this a hobby? And of course when they finally respond after multiple attempts you get the "I don't have anything available" text. Like you couldn't have told me that yesterday? You couldn't have helped me yesterday? Was I interrupting your day by being a cuistomer? Cool, it's just something you do in your pastime? Well I do this in my pastime! read more

We had the most amazing time today at Saddle Creek. Amy took us on an hour long trail ride as a surprise for one of our best friends. Not only was she so sweet, she also went out of her way to schedule a ride for us on her holiday (Labor Day) weekend when they were closed. The property was awesome and exactly what we were looking for. They recently renovated their indoor space and it would be great for all sorts of events. It was really cool to talk to Amy about her life & learn all about the horses. I can't recommend Saddle Creek enough, plus it was one of the best prices compared to other locations in the KC area. We are definitely going to come back!! read more

Do NOT board your horse here! We reserved a paddock and stall for our horse as we drove him cross country. We arrived to dangerously small stalls with ankle level glass windows and no paddocks. The owner wanted us to keep our horse in a 30x30 round pen with a rusty old hot walker inside it. The horses there are skin and bones and standing in 3 feet of their own waste! There was literally no place on the property where you could safely keep a horse overnight. The owner clearly thinks of himself as an equestrian, but it is obvious that he does not know what he is doing. When we called the Humaine Societu, they expressed that they were well aware of this place. read more

I recently took my 6th grade Girl Scout troop there for a trail ride. Amy was amazing with the girls. She was more than willing to answer all their questions about riding and horses. She made sure they were all comfortable with the horses before heading out on the trail ride with them and several of them had never rode before. All the girls were more than happy with their experience. read more

The guy was very disrespectful towards all of my family. This is not the place to do any kind of events. Facilities are not nice what so ever either.. Would not recommend to anyone. There are also no camper hookups. We had to buy a generator just to stay there. Plan accordingly if you decide to go there... read more

Forbes Ranch KC

I honestly don't know how to start this review. I have been boarding horses since I was 18 years…read moreold and I'm 54 now. I have NEVER had an issue at any other boarding facility, but this one place. The owner of Forbes Ranch, Kim, has made this whole experience a nightmare. Let me inform you of what happened to my daughter's horse since she has been at this facility. First, she basically starved our horse and then blamed us by stating it was because of her lowered work schedule and that her weight loss was due to her age. Ginger was 18 years old at the time. I was out of town on business, but called the vet immediately when I came back a month later. Her explanation did not make sense because her top line was gone and the vet put Ginger on a re-feeding program. That program is used for extreme weight loss typically due to starvation, not age or lowered work. It's absurd that her weight came back immediately after starting this program, right? I started buying my own hay because the basic level of trust was gone. She did not even deduct the hay from the board bill every month. It's funny because one of her main arguments is that this is not about the money, but the good of the horse. However, that's laughable because it is ALL about the money for her. She charges $4.50 a day just to keep Ginger in her stall that we already pay for every month instead of turning her out. This is also while Ginger is healing from an injury, so she couldn't go in the dry lot anyways. She also charges $1.50 daily to stir water in her grain during the winter months. It's unprofessional that she gives a boarding contract with a flat fee price and then changes the price by charging additional fees for the most nonsensical things. She doesn't even send you a bill every month over email or break down the amount, but just sends you the number over text instead. I payed less at A show barns when my daughter was competing competitively in California. That is complete insanity! I am not from Missouri and do not know the horse community out here. I was on waiting lists for other facilities in the area, but nothing opened up. It's been very difficult to find a good barn in this area close to our home. Besides that, she demands that you put your horse in a dry lot with other horses. We agreed to that because I hired a trainer to introduce them properly to each other. All was good, but one of the two horses left for 6 months at least. Everyone who has a clue about horses knows that an alpha mare (which Ginger is) will build a bond with the horse left and become protective. But not Kim, she puts the returned horse back in with them immediately. They fight, Ginger gets kicked, and receives a laceration on her leg and additionally re-inured her other leg from a previous injury. Kim did not even inform or ask us about the new horse joining Ginger again until it already happened. She sent us a video over text of it after the fact. Furthermore, she did not reintroduce them properly and we didn't even know or have the time to hire a trainer help again. The vet now states that she can never be ridden again. We are rightfully devastated. Ginger is still only cleared for hand walking. One thing to know about Kim is that she does whatever she wants and informs you after the fact, but finds it preposterous when you get upset, especially after your horse is injured because of her decisions. She told my daughter that she knows what is better for Ginger because she cares more and puts Ginger first instead of what we want to do. The whole purpose of putting the horses in the dry lot is because she doesn't have enough employees to clean the stalls or doesn't want to pay someone to cleaned the stalls twice a day. And then you have to argue with her to even let you clean your own horse's stall. She does not allow you to put shavings in your horse's stall either. She only permits her "green shavings" which are just shavings that are not kiln-dried. I have never been to a facility that doesn't allow you to have as many shavings as you want, specifically when your horse is healing from an injury. She charges you for shavings, but doesn't even let you know the amount she is charging you for because there are no bags to go off of. This boarding facility bosses you to the point of misery. You have to defend and debate with her about anything you want to do with your horse. It's exhausting! I totally understand and support rules at a facility to keep everyone safe. But DO NOT tell me how to take care of my horse that I pay everything for. This is the most vet bills we have EVER received compared to all the years we've had Ginger and when she was showing competitively every weekend. Never in my life have I been so disappointed in a facility. I truly am trying to warn everybody about the realities of this place. Kim tries to portray a high quality barn, but looks can be deceiving. She's a CONTROL FREAK!

Great place to have my horse. Clean and well kept environment run by caring people!!read more

Monkey Mountain is an 855 acre nature preserve in Eastern Jackson County, halfway in-between Grain…read moreValley and Oak Grove. The address I listed is the approximate address of the south entrance to the park, there is another entrance a little over a mile north off Old US 40 Hwy next to a softball field. The park is mostly undeveloped, which is what I love about it. You get to experience nature instead of a sanitized version of nature. There are two primary loop trails, one measuring 3.5 miles and one measuring between 2-3 miles depending on the route taken. Numerous smaller trails criss-cross between these main trails and branch out forming various side loops. You can spend hours hiking here and not see everything. The park caters to hikers and equestrians. I usually encounter a few other people at the park but only between long stretches of complete isolation. The elevation ranges from about 780 feet on the banks of Sni-a-Bar Creek to about 950 feet at the summit. There is a wide variety of terrain in the park: marshy lowlands in the north and northwest, thick woods and steep terrain covering most of the western half, limestone outcroppings along the ridge and at the south end of the park, a huge roiling meadow in the center, and farmed land along the eastern edges. Several ponds dot the landscape, and numerous tiny streams feed into Sni-a-Bar Creek along the western edge. There is even a waterfall in the park, but I will not reveal the location since it is both a fragile and a dangerous feature (especially in winter). Finding it can be part of your adventure. In the spring and early summer the park's meadows are filled with a wide variety of wildflowers, and wildlife can be spotted year-round. I've seen deer, foxes, turkeys, tortoises and turtles, all sorts of birds, and even evidence of some sort of wildcat. In the first half of the 20th century, much of what is now Monkey Mountain Park was part of a show farm called Sni-a-Bar Farms, owned by William Rockhill Nelson. The hillside and meadow were used for grazing sheep. Evidence of that can still be seen today in the form of farm remnants such as an old boundary fence running east-west through the middle of the park. If you hike the park, don't do it alone until you are familiar. Even though there are trails they are not always easy to see, and some portions of the trails can be treacherous. If your hike takes you through the northwest portion of the park you can expect to encounter mud pretty much year round so wear appropriate shoes. You will also need to carry your own water, there are no facilities at the park except at the softball field and an outhouse at the south entrance.

We drove around for the better part of 20 minutes to find a suitable place to egress into the water, only to find trash in the water and around the land abutting the water. Honestly, I think the park service tries to keep it nice, because there was a bag in each trash can, and the cans were spaced 20 feet apart to give the hint that when a person has garbage, a person should place said garbage in the receptical. But to no avail - it was like someone had purposely emptied the trash can into the wind, fall refuse where ye may. I frequent parks in the greater KC area, and I'd say Longview is the most inhospitable of the lot. Additionally, we were trying to find a spot - as we like to do - for a picnic, and nearly every shelter was locked mid-day! We called and they told us it was by reservation only. Must be something to do with vagrants. Whatever the case, this was more government facility than oasis, and the wind rips nasty off the points if you find yourself so unlucky. No thanks. I'll never need a revisit.

Personally, I find it nostalgic and beautiful, maybe even romantic, to walk through the fall or winter evening with a friend. It offers some of the most fantastic views in Kansas City. My favorite spot is to sneak to the top of the water fountain and light up a blunt!
