I've read the previous reviews and some of them sound fake. I went this past weekend and this is a real review! The place did have dirt everywhere, but thats common at stables, there weren't banana spiders on the trails, the place wasn't flooded, the horses looked well kept, and Diamond is a good horse. The gaited horses are not for anyone that is afraid to or can't control the horses. I rode Casanova, it was hard for me to get him to be still when I had to wait for the others, but otherwise he listened, though it took me a bit to get him to stop running once he started. The ungaited horses were willing to run just as much as the other though. At other stables I spent most of my time trying to get the horses to go/move. These were at least willing to go out but once any of the horses saw the gate back, they wanted to go back! So if your unexpierenced or barely rode, get a guide, otherwise the horses will start running, thats probably why you hear about people falling off in other reviews. I liked the place and will go back. I rode from Orlando and the time and money were worth it. I just wished the trails were alittle longer, its hard to spend three hours going on the same trails a hundred times. And they need to put a sign on the trail that leads back to the gate so you can avoid it when thats not where you're trying to go. My party had to go back to the stables shortly after going out because the rear horse saw the gate and refused to continue, it ended up running back in, so the other two in my party switch to ungaited horses. I also switch to a different gaited horse because I didn't like the english saddle. But everything worked well after that. I would definitely reccomend this place.
