Julia was an amazing trail guide! Teddy & Cupcake were both beautiful, easy horses for my daughter and me. The views are incredible. The stable is clean and the animals very well cared for. Highly recommend.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This venue shows extremely mixed results - while some families have wonderful experiences with great guides and well-cared horses, multiple detailed accounts of serious safety incidents involving runaway horses and hospitalizations are deeply concerning. Given the severity of reported safety issues and lack of proper protocols, families should exercise extreme caution or consider alternative riding facilities with better safety records.
