The trail was great with lots of river and nature views. The horses were well cared for and mild mannered. We had a variety of riding skill and everyone felt comfortable. I would highly recommend.

Son Rise is practically my home away from home! I've made lifelong friends with people younger, the…read moresame age and older than me- Son Rise riders are family. The horses are amazing and well taken care of, and there are lessons, horses and options for every age, discipline, experience, and comfortability. Miss Pam is so incredibly kind and a wonderful instructor- my lesson day is my favorite day of the week, and the highlight of my week every time. I highly recommend Son Rise to anyone wanting to start riding!

Son Rise Ranch does not meet my expectations for a horseback riding lesson facility. It is simply…read morenot professional for a variety of reasons. The instructor is emotionally abusive to her students and is not in the physically shape needed to safely run a lesson. I have witnessed abuse from her first hand and second hand. She sends disrespectful messages to her clients including those that are children. It is not appropriate behavior for a business owner. The lessons are not safe because she teaches them from a wheel chair. She isn't able to handle her horses, so she relies on her other students. In the event of an accident she isn't able to assist the rider. I personally would want someone able to handle horses and help me when I fall off teaching me. On top of the owner not being professional the horses do not receive adequate care. She has been known to feed moldy hay causing horses to pass away. This is just one example of poor care. Horses do not receive vet care. This includes annual vet checks and regularly dental care. Many times horses that are ill or lame are found being used on her lessons. This is unacceptable and a poor example for students. She claims she is running a Christian facility, but as far as I know God would not care for his people or horses this way. It is a bummer that she claims to be someone she is not. I hope you take this into consideration before signing your child up for lessons and they have to experience the abuse first hand.

Our son received nothing therapeutic or healing at this riding center. As his mother, I received…read moreonly a lasting feeling of nausea and regret whenever I think about the red flags I ignored as his lessons progressed. After dealing with pediatric OT and therapy over Zoom through the pandemic I wanted so much for something like this to work for him, he sounded like the perfect candidate based on their website. I wish I had recognized the toxicity sooner and stopped it. I do not want to publish personal details about my son online, however, since I can't go back in time and warn myself, I would like to warn other parents in my place. If you have a child with behavioral or developmental difficulties and are considering taking them to Healing Winds Therapeutic Riding Center, please don't. If you are a parent considering this riding center and would like to know more about our specific experience as you make decisions for your family please message me directly. To the owners of this business, please do not contact me at all.

I just completed my second Kendi World Adventure (Costa Rica, Pacific and Carribean), and it's…read morepure pleasure for me to write this review. Kevin and Andy want you to visit the real people, the real thing, so they will take you to real places. The chosen hotels and restaurants are modest, family run businesses. Excursions and their guides are carefully selected to give you an insight into the country and what makes it tick. Kendi goes all out to pave the way so you can enjoy each moment. And, did I mention how reasonable their prices are? These trips are value packed! If you're used to high end hotels and lazing around a pool all day (There is some of that), this isn't it. The emphasis is on a small group adventure, yet both times I have felt so safe and cared for. Kendiworldadventures.com shows you exactly what you'll do. Just go! Make new friends and/or bring your old ones. Pura vida!

I am 72 years old. I just returned from a highlight of my life...KendiWorldAdventures in Costa…read moreRica! Andi and Kevin (the tour guides and world travelers) have thoroughly vetted this trip so that there are no surprises (except delightful ones!). Picture yourself walking among the thin mists of a rainforest at treetop level or...swaying rhythmically atop a gentle horse as you explore the flanks of a volcano...or having a small, delightful monkey on your shoulder eating banana from your hand. Just as great are the serendipitous moments (getting caught in the rain at an open air market, eating barbequed yucca for the first time, wading in the warm surf while iguanas lounge in beachside trees). I am sure the group I toured with must have been the best in the world (but I am also sure that any group that tours with Kevin and Andi will say the same). Perhaps, the best thing is that it is YOUR tour. It can be as "zip line" exciting or as "lounge by the pool" relaxing as you choose. As they say in Costa Rica, PURA VIDA, the good life !
