Jackie and her team have created something genuinely special at this rescue operation near Hocking Hills. What stands out most is how intimately Jackie knows each horse's personality and backstory, carefully pairing riders with animals that match their experience level. First-timers consistently praise her patience and thorough instruction, while those with riding experience appreciate learning new techniques through the English riding style. The property itself offers beautiful trails through meadows and woods, and visitors love meeting the menagerie of rescued goats, chickens, dogs, and other animals roaming the grounds. The overwhelming majority of guests describe transformative experiences, with many already planning return visits. However, there's one concerning review alleging poor animal care that sharply contrasts with the many others praising how well-loved and maintained the horses appear. Most reviewers specifically note the animals seem healthy and well-cared-for, and they appreciate Jackie's commitment to not pushing the horses beyond their comfort zones. The flexibility with scheduling and personalized attention make this feel like visiting a friend's farm rather than a commercial operation, which guests clearly value.
My family had a wonderful time during our visit today! We were greeted by the friendliest goats, and Jackie knew the personality, quirks, tiny details and story of every horse in their care. They made sure that my 10yr old sons who had never been on a horse before felt comfortable and confident and matched them with horses that fit their level. She really took the time to explain the intricacies of each horse and get us situated before we went out on the trail; which was beautiful despite the oppressive heat today. Plus, the horses were all rescues!!! It was the perfect way to end our trip to Hocking Hills 💙🐴
