We are a non-profit organization, and we try our very best to ensure that our horses are trained and suitable for the kind of work we ask them to do, each one is assessed on a regular basis and kept up to date with training. Trail rides are given by appointment only. But that is only the beginning of your fun; we have many other animals such as chickens, goats, bunnies, cows, lamas, emus....and more

We took a family vacation to Naples and when I asked my daughter (16) what she wanted to do while on vacation her answer was, “ride horses.” Her guide, Medina, was kind, calm and professional and gave my daughter (and husband) a ride to remember. Additionally, they have other animals on the ranch to see and Medina’s 9 year old daughter earned her stars in this review too as she took our family around the farm and told us about all the animals. She was polite, personable and is clearly a natural with the animals. We managed to pack in A LOT on our vacation, but this was my daughter’s absolute favorite part of our family adventure! Definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

This is one of our favourite places to watch the sunset whilst watching dolphin & pelican, it can get busy on evenings of a good sunset so getting there early ensures a good spot at the pier end. We cannot get enough of this place and can't wait to go back next year

Delightful area to walk around in the afternoon. A little less pompous, stuck-up, and pretentious than the 5th Avenue area, but it’s still posh downtown Naples, Florida. Beautifully manicured streets, nice vegetation, a number of historic buildings converted into lively restaurants and bars, and plenty of high-priced boutiques for window-shopping.

My sisters and I had a delicious light lunch in the beautiful outdoor garden seating. Beautiful view of the Dock and a delightful breeze. Then walked down the dock looking at the Charter fishing boats. Pelicans were on the dock waiting for the fishermen to filet the catch and leave scraps on the dock which the pelicans scarfed down. The pelicans were not afraid of people and were not aggressive. Wonderful day and relaxing atmosphere.
