- RRRobert RussellSep 2, 20251.0It has a closed until further notice sign at the gate and the sign looks pretty old
- SHShelly HinesJul 2, 20132.0We did a group horseback ride, and the scenery was beautiful as well as the facility. However, the saddles were too small for an adult and the staff were lacking in hospitality. My mom lost her hat, and the staff said to leave it on the trail instead of picking it up and putting it with our belongings. My sister fell and was injured, mostly due to saddle too small. Probably won't ride here anymore.
