    I witnessed horses being abused in "training" at Solstice Farms. For ex, the so-called "trainer"…read more repeatedly and violently yanked on a horse's mouth one day, which is obviously counter-productive for training dressage horse. The old saying, "Abuse begins where knowledge ends," is applicable here. I was there when a horse put his eye out in his stall. The stable owner (Marie Morgan) did not ensure that the stalls were safe. Another horse died, but I do not know the circumstances surrounding that occurrence. When my horse got scraped up in her stall, the owner could not have cared less, and seemed more annoyed that I was concerned about my horse's welfare. One evening, I went to check on my horse, and Ms. Morgan threatened to call the police on me for "trespass," even though I was a paying boarder. One day, Ms. Morgan decided to put rocks in the barn aisle, which could have caused stone bruises. She left them there for months. Another act of high strangeness was when she put stalls in the covered dressage arena - an arena that was supposed to be available to boarders for riding. When I asked how long they were going to be there, she informed me that I had to leave her barn (a breach of contract). I would not recommend boarding or training at Solstice Farms. I do not think it is a safe environment for horse or rider.

    What a great place for your horse and for you. They have a very long history of great horse care…read moreand dressage instruction, along with being a friendly, welcoming place to meet other horse people. I no longer live in Houston but would not hesitate to go back to Solstice Farms and Marie Morgan if I had the chance.

    I've kept my horses here for almost eight years now. I've seen plenty of other barns out there, but…read morethis is a place I can trust to leave my horses when I'm out of town. Every time there has been a health incident with them, the vet is out there before I even get a call. The horses are managed properly and even the slightest issue is handled and taken care of before you can blink. If you're looking for a drama-free, casual environment with occasional showing but is mostly laid back, this is the place. I'm a student with a full-time job who can't come out very often right now and Stephanie and her staff are some of the few I trust to watch my accident-prone horses. I am extremely anal and a micro-manager about everything, and this place fits the bill.

    This is a beautifully gated facility located 5 minutes from Pearland Town Center. I have boarded my…read morehorse here for 8 years and he loves it with private paddock turn out either 6hrs during the day or 16 hours at night. They feed pellets or custom feeds upon request twice a day and coastal 3 times a day. The show barn is large and airy with concrete isles, humidity controlled tack room, large fans, mats, and fly sprayers. Indoor and outdoor arenas, 2 round pens, outdoor hunt course, dressage area, and ample riding areas. For preparing to show there are two hot and cold wash racks. The best thing about this facility is it doesn't FLOOD due to a large 20 acre pond next door. Horses are turned out 95% of the time due to the facility is one a grade which allows for exceptional drainage!While most barns where evacuating their horses during Hurricane Harvey the barn didn't experience any standing water. The owner transports horses to Waller if needed for the best veterinary care in the area if necessary or has 4 local veterinarians routinely visiting the barn to maintain care. She accepts mostly jumping and dressage horses but also have several quarter horses at the facility that want high end care for their horses. The barn has 24/7 access for owners, and she hauls boarders to local jumping shows and prepares them for their classes. You won't find a better facility in the area.

There is a wash rack and horses are turned out daily, weather permitting. Room for horse trailers.. just an excellent place to keep your horse!!

    After a short email requesting info on their lesson structure and cost ,and briefly describing my…read moresituation and riding experience, I received a one line response saying they have a wait list for lessons. No information, no other even nice comments like, "We would love you to come take lessons with us, but we are running a 6 month lesson waitlist. If you would like to be added we would gladly do this." No......Here is their response. "We do have knowledge of natural horsemanship however, we also have a waiting list for our lesson program currently." This makes me feel they could care less about having my business and about me. I have trained at far too many establishments over the years where they care and respect the horses more than they do the people. I love horses too, but if I ran a riding school, it would be about helping people connect to horses and enjoy horses, and respecting both. Also I must say their reluctance to give any prices for anything on their website or in this email response makes me wonder. Are prices variable? do you make them up on the day? What is the deal. Bear in mind this is my only contact with this company and certainly does not tell the whole story. They could be a terrific group that is knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I will never know. I am moving on to somewhere else, where even a rejection is done with courtesy and thoughtfulness.

    This review is strictly concerning customer service. We did a horse ride with this company 3-4…read moreyears ago and had a great time. We were in Galveston this year for our annual marriage retreat and wanted to do the private sunset ride. I did all the online stuff which was confusing in and of itself. I received a email with info but that made sure I knew it was not the actual reservation. I tried to call the only phone number provided multiple times. I left messages. I was never able to get ahold of anyone and received no call back. Sadly, we did not ride this year.

I was…read moreso excited to do the sunset ride so we got an uber followed the instructions and headed to the horses. We get there and the directions given were not clear I walked miles down the beach until we found the horses. Immediately the woman says she hates her job while I'm signing my waver the guy has a smart mouth I simply asked if we could go fast instead of being nice he got a huge attitude and said "I don't want to be here anyway so you can do it my way or leave" I said I was fine walking but after all that he goes talks to the lady and comes back and says we smell like we smoked so we can't ride! Mind you I have medical conditions I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I was simply judged by my looks I felt and they were just so rude. They kept my big deposit and left us stranded. I waited outside in the unknown for an uber for two hours. Worst horseback experience of my life and I have been on atleast 30 rides. DO NOT BOOK THEM THEY WANT YOUR DEPOSIT THATS IT I PROMISE.

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking -- a crisp, snow-covered trail winding through tall pine trees under a brilliant blue sky with perfect fluffy clouds. The weather was ideal: sunny, calm, and just cold enough to make it feel like a true winter escape without being uncomfortable. Huge shoutout to our incredibly patient and helpful tour guide who made the entire experience smooth, safe, and enjoyable for everyone (especially first-timers). She was fantastic with the horses and kept the ride relaxed and fun the whole way. Highly recommend this experience for families looking to create lasting memories together. 10/10!

Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The horses are well trained and follow each other since they already know the trail, but they still respond to commands like go and stop, and you can steer them left or right if you want. That made us feel comfortable even as first-time riders. The only area I think could be improved is having a small practice area for brand-new riders to learn the basics before heading out on the trail. Other than that, everything was amazing. The ride was about an hour long and very enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back!
