It's a really nice place for anybody but especially the Children. They really do enjoy themselves with the horses and all they have to do there. It's a magical place and Joy is a really nice Lady. She's always having events there for different reasons. An All around Great Place to go and have some fun and relax for a little while. I highly recommend it to anybody.

Just went for a trail ride, it was great! Morgan and Mallory were super fun and awesome to talk to throughout the trail ride, the horses are well behaved and there’s lots to see! It was a little chilly but our constant laughter kept us warm. Definitely coming back next year!

Amazing staff! We had our wedding here last July and it was perfect! They let us have the entire place a day early to set up. Our entire family was able to stay in campers or the hotel rooms for the entire weekend. I am so glad we decided to have it here.
