River Run Farm

Well, the facility is nice and clean. 2 stars for a couple reasons, it wasn’t clear to me that all children would be sharing one horse nor that adults would be unable to ride with the small (2 year old) children on full sized capable horses. I would agree with others that they are not very accommodating. I’ve had horses all my life, my dad worked on a ranch for all his life, but it was expected of us to speak at almost a whisper to not spook the horses. Which is very challenging at a kids birthday party. Never have I seen trained horses spook so easily, and if they do, I don’t understand why those are the horses they choose for the kids to ride. Someone was basically scolded over getting a drink from a plastic water bottle and it "crinkling" and possibly spooking the horses because of that. The ride consisted of one small lap around the arena for each rider, all sharing the same horse. I’m sure the place would be great for more in depth learning of horses but for a child’s birthday party, I would not recommend.

My daughter had her 4yr birthday party here with friends from her class as well as family. The staff chose a horse according to the size of the kids wanting to ride. They all got rides in the indoor arena. The staff went over safety with the kids and staff about the animals and what not to do. I had dropped off supplies earlier this week to be used for the party and when I got there everything was setup. I just had to show up with cake, pizza and kids. No stress, no fuss, no worries, just a good time. The price was also very fair for the venue and help I recieved. I will be doing their riding camps for my daughter in the future. They are nothing but awesome.

River Run has a really great summer camp that familiarizes kids with the care and keeping of horses! My child loved it tremendously and now wants to take formal lessons. It was well worth our time to make this happen!

I had my daughter's 6th birthday party here, and it was perfect! The party started by petting and saying hello to the horses. After a quick safety briefing, the kids took turns brushing the horse and then riding the horse in the arena (with 2 guides leading the horse). We had ages from 2-11 at the party and it was friendly for all of them! Two hours was perfect for horse interaction, cake, and presents.

We had our daughter’s 2nd birthday party here and it was so much fun! The staff was beyond helpful and nice. It’s incredible to see the amount of hard work they put into their craft. I will mention that make sure ALL of the kids who will be riding are available because they need to be taught basic safety before they ride the horse. It is taught in a group setting so it can’t be performed until everyone who is going to ride is available. Just make sure you push promptness to your guests. Overall, great experience for us and our little girl!

We attended a child’s birthday party here and the facility is very nice, very clean, and the horses appear to be very well taken care of. However, the 2 ladies that were working there were very rude, extremely impatient with the kids and even raised their voices at them several times. At one point when a child (who appeared to be around the age of 4) was getting on a horse one of the ladies snapped at her telling her "put your left foot in the stirrup and not your right! We’re not riding backwards here!" Then there was another incident where the other lady working told a little girl if she didn’t brush the horse first then she wasn’t doing any riding. Remind you these were small children… Some had never been around horses so they were nervous. Especially after the lady had just told them that the animals weighed over 1000 pounds and could smash their feet if they got too close…. Overall my daughter had a great time and fun with her friends so that’s all that matters. I just wish the staff could’ve been more patient and friendly. I was actually considering signing my daughter up for their summer camp next year but will definitely be reconsidering.

I had my daughters 8th birthday here and it was amazing! From the very start of me checking out about the place to the very end actually having the party AMAZING!!! They are very helpful and nice! Looks like my son will be having his birthday party here too!
