“We went on the private sunset ride tonite for our 36th anniversary. We had a great guide and great horses. Wish I could post pics here Our first scheduled ride was cancelled due to heavy rain but we were able to reschedule right away for a week later. It was no problem and our ride was most enjoyable. Great place.”

“I had the most incredible first-time horseback riding experience! It was incredibly important to me to have a positive experience, as I was a bit nervous at first. Thanks to our amazing guide, Cole, my fear melted away. Riding through an actual forest was an unexpected delight, and it added a whole new layer of adventure to our ride. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and fear-conquering adventure!”

“Cole was such an AMAZING tour guide and explained instructions with ease. His personality was easy going and outgoing and helped with any new beginner scares. The owner herself was very friendly and aloud us to have such a great experience i’d recommend them again and again, the wine tasting was beautiful at the end too! The horses were great too, so easy going!”
