  • Left me wanting more

    I loved the horses... The trail was nice, but I had absolutely no freedom. I kept wanting to jump off of the trail and actually ride the horse. It was so strict that I felt like I was on a machine controlled ride.

    I wouldn't come back because it wasn't as exciting as I thought it might be. The staff was great though. THanks.

  • People were great and very informative about the horses. Horses were great but the trails were very dusty with dirt flying up in our face the whole time. When the trails weren't sandy, the horses were walking thru several feet of muddy water splashing water everywhere. It was either dirt flying everywhere or dirty water splashing everywhere almost the entire time. I have never been on a ride where the trails were such a mess.

  • Fun in the shade!

    What does one do in NW Florida on a beautiful winter’s day in late January? We went on a guided trail ride with tour guide Kendall who led us through an amazing wooded area just minutes from Destin! The property was immaculate, the horses impeccably clean and well cared for. All horses are Tennessee Walkers (which for us inexperienced riders means they are the smoothest, most comfortable riding horses around). Not being an experienced rider myself, I was a little nervous about the whole thing. Not to worry, my horse knew the way and took good care of me. Once I figured out she was the boss, we got along well (I think she knew I didn’t have a clue how to do this). We had good instruction before leaving the stable and Kendall made the ride fun and informative. I can’t wait to do it again with friends and family! Best ride ever!
