If you have autism or some othe disabilit Do Not Go Here to ride. They discriminate against you! If I could, I would give them a big fat ZERO. Our heartbreaking experience....When I signed in and paid, told her we had driven an hour and a half to ride because there is no place closer, I was told they let those with autism ride all the time. Well my son, 21, Is severly affected HOWEVER he rides every Tuesday and has won Gold in the special Olympics.
There were two young ladies and one man working. My son has trouble hauling himself on but with a push can make it. As soon as the man saw us, he said he has to be able to control the horse they are animals with minds of their own! Yes l know that. I also know that my son can hold on and that if you have Ever been to a trail ride, the horses follow along and never get off the trail. That man stood us next to an extremely tall horse, so tall my son could barely reach the horn and couldn't get his foot in the stirrups but I helped him. The he and I tried 3 times while that man just stood there waiting for us to fail. There were blocks of stone he could have allowed my son to stand on and he would have hopped right on, or he, being a stronger person than me (mom) could have pushed him on onto this gigantic animal :/
Well after 2 hours of getting excited about riding now we are on our way home because my son has autism. I have never been so angry about being discriminated against as I am in this day!!!
