    Jackie and her team have created something genuinely special at this rescue operation near Hocking Hills. What stands out most is how intimately Jackie knows each horse's personality and backstory, carefully pairing riders with animals that match their experience level. First-timers consistently praise her patience and thorough instruction, while those with riding experience appreciate learning new techniques through the English riding style. The property itself offers beautiful trails through meadows and woods, and visitors love meeting the menagerie of rescued goats, chickens, dogs, and other animals roaming the grounds. The overwhelming majority of guests describe transformative experiences, with many already planning return visits. However, there's one concerning review alleging poor animal care that sharply contrasts with the many others praising how well-loved and maintained the horses appear. Most reviewers specifically note the animals seem healthy and well-cared-for, and they appreciate Jackie's commitment to not pushing the horses beyond their comfort zones. The flexibility with scheduling and personalized attention make this feel like visiting a friend's farm rather than a commercial operation, which guests clearly value.

    We love it here! This is our second time visiting and riding at Equestrian Ridge and each time is such a unique experience. Jackie pairs you with a horse that suits your experience and size. She teaches you everything you need to know about your horse, body positioning, and how to use the reins to maneuver your horse through the trail. The property is sprawling and beautiful making the ride that much more enjoyable. When we came back, we were able to meet all the animals and even have some fun with the kids (baby goats). Sprite was our favorite! What makes this experience special is seeing Jackie with the animals. You can tell she really cares about rehabilitating them and not pushing them out of their comfort zone. This is truly a special place that deserves a visit when you are in the area.
