I found three crowns farm by chance when looking in the orlando area for dressage lessons. I went to go check it out and it was different than what I was used to. It has more of a farm atmosphere than a formal lesson barn. I knew the true test was watching the owner and his daughter interact with and ride their horses. I asked to see them ride and they happily agreed. Once I saw them ride I was sold. They really know what they are doing and are amazing with their horses. If you want a true horseback riding experience, go here. If you are interested in learning more about the horses you are riding, just ask. They are very knowledgeable, kind and much better priced than ANY place I have ever ridden.

If you are looking for a place to go horseback riding do NOT chose this one!!! If I could give it zero stars I would. There are plenty of nicer stables in the area that offer friendlier services and a better value for your money! I paid $ 68 dollars for a 90 minutes trail ride for two people of which we sat 35 minutes on top of our horses while they ate grass!!! What kind of a trail ride is that??? Plus, the owner was very rude and nasty and ruined what was supposed to be a fun experience I had planned with my boyfriend. I had purchased a Groupon for the Jungle Trail for two people(I paid $ 68 for a $ 138 value). I called and scheduled our ride for a Sunday about 6 weeks in advance. The weekend of the appointment, I called many times to confirm, but nobody answered the phone or returned my calls although I left messages. Once they have your money through Groupon they have no incentive to actually schedule the ride and provide you the service you paid for!(The mailbox was actually full by Saturday afternoon!) They just won’t answer the phone. We showed up at 9am as scheduled and of course nobody expected us and the horses were not ready. The place is not at all organized like a business although they love to take your money! We were not greeted and the owner was obviously annoyed that we showed up, because now he had to take us out on a trail ride on his Sunday morning and get the horses ready. When I told him that I had called many times, but couldn’t reach anybody, he just laughed at me and said, «This is a horse farm, not a Motel 6!» Once we finally started our trail ride, we had to listen to the owner(who is apparently originally from Sweden) complain how horrible it is to run his business in America and how stupid and cheap the people here are. Whaaaat??? I paid almost $ 70 for what I thought was going to be a fun activity for me and my boyfriend on our day off, instead we were insulted, did not receive a 90 minute jungle trail ride, and left upset and angry! I strongly suggest you take your business to another stable where you receive nicer treatment and can actually have a fun horseback riding experience!
