- DCDarah CamilaSep 26, 20265.0I went riding there today. People are nice and horses are even nicer. Nothing to complain, I had fun. And the teacher answered all our questions.
- GEGina EricksonSep 19, 20265.0This stable has the most amazing guide named Rory. She was patient, informative, friendly and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!
- ESElaine SuttonSep 7, 20261.0I have contacted Forest view farms twice requesting horseback riding lessons each time the young lady said she would get back to me and I have not heard back from her yet. I reached out in July and September and still have not received a call back. I feel that my business is not welcome
- DNDenise NatalinoAug 30, 20261.0This was a terrible experience. I bought my 5 year old granddaughter, who rode before at other places and I walked beside her holding the horse. They never fit her stirrups, the pony was 30 years old and I had to stand in front of the pony and was told I had to pull him in order for him to walk. The pony work jerk and scar my granddaughter. I paid for 30 minutes plus a helmet and only walked about 10 minutes and had to stop. The walking area to walk the Pony was ridiculous. No one ever offered a different pony or refund my money. Horribly experience for a 5 year old who was so excited.
- NTNigary ThompsonAug 22, 20265.0I really enjoyed the place. Jake was my horse 🐎 and he was pleasant to ride.
