"First time here and wow do these girls need to learn customer service. We were rudely "greeted" by a bunch of bored teenage girls in an office. I said it's our first time here, but zero conversation, only asked to pay. Once I paid, we were ignored. So we sat and waited, eventually a girl told my daughter to get on a horse, the miniature one, despite my daughter having done horse treks (which they would know if someone bothered to acknowledge us). Girl didn't even tell my daughter her name or where they were going or what they were doing. Just lead the horses off."
"A really good place for your horse obsessed kid to learn to ride. Nice gang of youngn's looking after the horses and kids and really good value. Starts at $20 hr. It's the Sunday go to."
"Such a good riding school! It’s spacious, lots of great horses for all levels and sizes, the staff are amazing and very knowledgeable, the staff make all the lessons fun and different. They have a cafe next door. One of my favourite places ever. Also they invite everyone and will teach you: horse riding, how to tack up, how to catch your horse and so much more!"
"Loved it, the girls (teens) teaching my two daughters were amazing I can see why people could get upset but this is a country side place which is ran in an old-fashioned way. My advise to have a great time is to have a jersey handy and REMEMBER to bring cash, $15 1/2hour or $20/hour per rider."
