She was absolutely sweet, understanding, knowledgeable, and very patient. My two cousins who went with me aren't very experienced riders, and she walked them through everything. Royal Creek has an amazing way of setting up the entire experience. They are really good at pairing the rider with the house -- not easy to do, but very well done. Once you arrive, you meet your "guide" and then are introduced to your horse. I really enjoyed the fact that you have some one on one time with the horse you'll be riding before you actually get on. You get to give your horse a brush down so they get comfortable with you, after that the horses are saddled up, and they take you to an indoor arena to ride around and get comfortable. Your guide will then make sure you're comfortable to take you out to the field where you'll ride around for a while. This was honestly one of the best horseback riding experiences I have had in a long time. Also, their prices are super reasonable. $105 for 3 people for an 1 1/2 hours

There was one main pasture that would have up to 18 horses one it at one time - every day. There was a roundpen, an unusable outdoor arena, and two small paddocks that combined could take another six horses. The fields were over grazed and there's no real deworming protocol in place. Owners weren't held responsible for deworming, then their horses would go out with the others. Hopefully the owner has become more mature with her management but if it's anything like it was 5 years ago, stay clear!

It supports family values, camaraderie, proper horse care, riding skills, and community spirit. I have been associated with The Riding Centre sine 1961 - as a horse owner, rider, instructor, Peace Corps trainer, advisor, and friend. I contribute annually. No matter your equine/equestrian needs, The Riding Centre is the place to go, If I could rate it 10 stars, I would - and they'd be gold - every one.

Over the years, I have boarded at five or six different barns in Ohio and various other states. I have found the care at TRC to be outstanding. The school horses for the therapeutic program make up half of the population of horses. Stalls are immaculate and cleaned daily, horses have amble grazing space in on 60 acres of secure pastures. Several veterinarians and farriers visit the Centre weekly or more often as needed and the health and welfare of the horses is a top priority. As a committed horse advocate, I have never seen an objectionable practice at TRC. Their work with individuals with physical, developmental and other disabilities is awesome!

Advertised pony rides for kids. We got to the farm and thought we were in the wrong place. We…read morepulled up to a house that looked run down and like we were in the wrong place. We called and left a message. A few minutes later a very sleepy sounding person called back and said that "something came up" and they weren't doing pony rides that day. She stated that rides would be happening the next weekend. We had driven 30 minutes for this experience. Needless to say, we never went back and won't be going back. It seems like the owner could have updated the website so that we wouldn't have made the drive. I understand that things come up and that life happens. I wish this organization the best, but my advice to anyone who might be hoping for a pony ride would be to call ahead!

I expected and received a phone call on the first day. I discussed with the counselor what coping skills worked best with her. On the fourth day of camp, I received a call saying that she has attempted to assault a counselor. I rushed in to discover that she had been crying, wanting to come home and had just been told "no. You have to participate with the rest of the kids." I was told by the counselor that she had been wheezing all day, and vomiting. When she went to hug the counselor (counselor told me herself that she opened her arms to invite her in for a hug) for some comfort, she was mouth breathing at this time as nothing was done about her asthma even with an air quality alert. They accused her of attempting to bite and refused to allow her to finish the last day of camp. There are 3 times they should have called me before this moment, 2 of which were medical emergencies and could have resulted in hospital visits. I made the mistake of thinking that because they call themselves "Christian based" that my seven year old would be treated with love and kept safe. Instead she was out into a dangerous situation and then criticized and accused of things she never did.
