I brought…read moremy horse there in early March 2013 but unfortunately, within only 6 days of arriving there, he sustained a horrible injury and his recovery from that injury is estimated to take at least 1 full year, if not longer.

Staying at Lake Anna State Park for the second time with husband and now 7yo twin boys, I was…read morewondering how to do a good horse ride. I am so glad we used this company! The owner, Sarah, said one option was to bring the horses to the park for a ride on the trails there, but since the boys were young and new to riding, it would be better to do a trail ride at the farm. Just 15 minutes from the park, the farm offered slight hills and a smidge of a creek - enough to make it interesting for the boys, but never enough to be scary. Sarah picked out horses for each of us, asking about the boys' personalities to make sure they got horses well suited for them. She then gave us a brief tutorial on how to ride (correcting a few mistakes my husband and I brought with us from learning to ride as youth), and led us on a trip around the farm for an hour. Everyone had fun, felt a little adventurous, and built confidence in horse-back riding skills. The whole family loved it, and we can't wait to do it again next year. It's a locally-owned business, open for 10 years, and, well, it's not the most polished around the edges. Don't be thrown off - the people we encountered knew horses and knew how to make sure we had a great time, and we did! Thanks! (Really, I know this reads like an ad, but it's not: it's an honest review from a relieved mother who really hopes this good business sticks around for a long time!)

He is patient, passionate, and innovative with what he does; the harder the case the better! Not only is he highly skilled and knowledgeable about his craft- he returns calls, arrives on time, and has competitive pricing. And he works side by side with a veterinarian if need be. He truly has perfected farrier work into an art. I only wish I had found him sooner.

What an unprofessional establishment. The woman doesn't answer the phone with the business name so…read moreyou really have no idea if you have reached the correct number. The website information is extremely lacking and at least some of it is incorrect. The website states that you can make an appointment on Sundays but that is an absolute lie and if you aren't okay with that, Jen will hang up on you. I guess one way to receive an extra day boarding for each dog is to not be open on Sundays. What person with integrity does that?? She is available for tours only on Saturdays...when she decides to work. And she is never at the location so I'm not sure who is actually caring for the dogs that people have entrusted to their care. When you call she is either rude or wishy washy. This woman has no business running a "professional" business or caring for ANY other living being. Thankfully I found all of this out with a phone call and not at my dogs' expense.

Honestly, I never do this but I'm still angry over this, years later that I decided to leave a…read morereview after so long. We had a two week long boarding training with our two dogs and they clearly got ZERO training. They most likely were stuck in their crates the entire time (we were given their crates back with the blankets thrown away because they deficated and urinated on them which they NEVER did that previously, and the crates were so filthy of poop). The "trainer", well her (what very much appeared to be) drug using boyfriend was in the icu the majority of the time our dogs were in their care. The dogs were also picked up in an ashtray looking car, ash and cigarette butts and trash filled in the car by her bf and herself. They're lucky we were ignorant young adults back then, if all this were to have happened now, it'd be a different story. I still feel so bad for even allowing our dogs to stay with them.

We'd stayed well past opening time and were not rushed, we were treated like family, and that's more than we could have asked for. The compassion and kindness that we felt was everything. Over the past few years, we've always been very pleased with how Confederate Ridge has taken care of our girl. Surgery, diagnosis of skin problems (that we'd been paying for injections at $100 a pop at another vet, who completely misdiagnosed and overcharged us), and general checkups - always on point. We could tell she was loved and cared for by staff whenever we showed up. There's usually a wait to be seen, and appointments can take a while to get with how popular CRAH has become. Even though we live over an hour and a half away, I'd still come back here if we add to our family again.

I called ahead to let them know I was coming to pick the dogs up. When I got there I was treated like I was a terrible inconvenience. I have a beagle mix and a golden doodle. As I stood waiting for my dogs, I listened to the staff talk to a family who was going to purchase one of their puppies. They gave a whole lecture about how they love all of their dogs and have the right to take the dog back if they find out it's not being treated well, etc., etc. My dogs they didn't care so much about. My beagle was bleeding when I picked him up. Nothing was said to me about it. And both dogs had their harnesses wrapped around their necks instead of properly on their bodies. I was told the staff didn't know how they worked. Really? Just be aware. They look like a great facility, but they may not give you the service they promise.
