    We had a really enjoyable trail ride here and would recommend it, especially if you appreciate a…read moredirect and safety-focused approach. After reading some other reviews, I think it's important to set the right expectations. This is essentially a one-woman operation, run by an independent and hardworking owner, Elinor, who is deeply passionate about her horses. Her number one priority is the safety of the riders and her animals, and her entire system is built around that. Her communication style is direct, loud, and to-the-point. We found this to be a huge asset on the trails, as you can always hear her instructions clearly. She refers to riders by their horse's name, which is an efficient way to keep track of everyone. If you are good at following directions and want to be led by a confident, experienced guide, you will be in great hands. A few things to know: Policies are for a reason: You'll be asked to leave phones and keys in your car. This is partly for safety (things can easily fall on the trail) and, I suspect, to protect the integrity of her business. She is clear about her policies and expects you to follow them. She's a solo act: Because she runs everything herself, the trails aren't perfectly manicured, but she is an expert at navigating them and will guide you around any obstacles. The fields are truly beautiful and my friend said the long, rustic grasses blowing in the wind gave the ride a more authentic experience and reminded her the prairies in books she read growing up. Because Elinor is a one-woman superstar, this also means she's very busy, so be patient when it comes to receiving the photos she takes. She is accommodating: Despite her busy schedule, she was incredibly kind and responded to us at 11:30 PM the night before to add another rider to our group. Bottom Line: If you're looking for a polished, multi-staff operation with pristine trails and lots of hand-holding, this might not be the fit for you. But if you want an authentic, safe, and efficient riding experience led by a true horsewoman who knows what she's doing, you will have a fantastic time. We respected her expertise and her hustle.

    The horses are in terrible condition, the tack is old and ill-fitting, the helmets are old and…read moredirty, they stuff multiple blankets under the saddles so they don't fall off the horse, and Elinor is nasty and ignorant. The wooded trails they use do not belong to them so they are all trespassing on a neighbor's property. Avoid this place like the plague!
