You can tell he loves running the place and caring for the horses. The places is super clean and put together and all the horses are super nice. The lesson was amazing and my son LOVED it! My son's autistic so I was little concerned cause he waves his arms when he's excited but Craig has the sweetest horse that wasn't phased so my son still got to ride. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to ride. We will definitely be back soon.

UPDATE: he called me back after I left like a hundred moderate-cringe voice mails, and flat up told me he was booked for the next 30 days and didn't know anyone else who could take me on in the next couple day either - and then hung up. Informative chap.

Half of our group had never been on a horse before. Lindsey gave us a brief but thorough safety lesson, then introduced us to the horses. The trail is perfect for beginner riders or riders with a bit of experience. Highly recommend Sunny Acres! We are already planning to go again.

Anyone under 18 that can control a horse can ride but they must have a helmet. The horses are well behaved and are very mild mannered for those that might be timid. They will trot and run a little but nothing scary. The ride was about 2 hours long along this beautiful private property. Keep your eye out for dear and other woodland creatures.

What a beautiful place! The drive out there was not bad at all in terms of distance, nav reliable, and gorgeous views. I was a bit late but they accommodated me and the group started before myself and one other person. The horses were well-taken care of and extremely calm. They all seemed to know each other but not have too many issues between them- no biting, kicking, etc. (Hey - racehorses are so temperamental that they need a calming animal). The barn has its own helmets to lend, there were a lot of people who had been more than once. I was searching for a hot tub the following day however.

I hired the owner of Equility to train three of my horses, to be conducted at my farm. She…read morecommitted to twice-weekly sessions, which I prepaid 30 sessions per horse. Her contract required prepayment and stipulated she kept all funds regardless of her fulfillment of services. Over the course of 6 months, she kept less than half of the scheduled appointments and my horses' progress was minimal. None of my horses met their training goals, and I had to pull one horse after five months because she felt she would need to start over from scratch with him. I then hired another trainer to work with the same horse, and in a handful of days he met his goal. Her communication about cancellations was poor at best, often requiring that I ask her the morning of the scheduled session, or even at the time of the session, if she would be coming before she would tell me she was not. I tried in good faith to resolve the situation. When I requested better communication from her, she informed me she is too busy to do so and her priorities are otherwise. Her words to me were, "I understand you would like more notice but as a business owner AND trainer AND instructor it's really difficult to know what my days are going to look like. I am really sorry that this has caused issue but truly feel as if it should not." [The emphasis was hers, copied and pasted directly from an electronic message.] Based on that information I terminated our arrangement, in spite of her still owing me several more sessions.

Having recently moved down from Chicago that one got me as it was about a 45 minute drive or so, I probably should have looked up the address before signing up though.
