“If you're a first-time rider looking for a hands-on experience, this is *the* place to go.

I tried calling multiple ranches for an appointment, and it took weeks to get a callback from any of them. Gus was the only one who picked up on the first try, and we penciled in an appointment same-call. He even followed up in the morning of our scheduled day, to confirm for both of us that we're still on.

In-person, Gus is friendly, patient, and highly attentive. He paired us up with a mild-mannered horse (a beautiful fella named Beau) that didn't have an unpredictable thought in its head. And I'm no expert, but to my eyes, every horse at the stable looked clean, healthy and content.

I didn't know what to expect from a first-time session, honestly. I thought that it might be mostly talk, then riding a few circles around a pen, and picking up a cowboy hat on the drive home (not too thrilling, but it seemed realistic).

What we actually got was the real deal. First some quick coverage of riding basics, then a supervised trail ride, and then some low-stakes cattle driving, all on the very first go.

This was *awesome*, and the entire session was calm and fully under-control.

My visit completely blew away my expectations. I fully recommend Gus Trent as a facility, and as a professional.

(P.S. if you're finding the ranch via Google Maps, it will tell you to take the last turn prematurely onto a private road; so once you're on the home stretch at Pitt Rd, put down the GPS and look for the sign instead, you'll know it when you see it.)”

“I have nothing but good things to say about this place! everyone is so down to earth and genuinely cares for my daughter! my daughter started going here at 4 months old and she is 16months now and I am still so glad a friend referred me here! Even when my child has rough mornings the ladies at Golden Rule do so much to make her (and me) feel comforted and I can not thank them enough! :)”

“We love KinderCare! Our little one can't wait to walk into his classroom each morning and see his teachers. I love getting updates from the app during the day and being able to message his teachers and directors. I know my child will be safe, fed, loved, and educated at this center. Highly recommend you tour the center!”
