True Heart Equine Enrichment - Solon, Iowa

I want to start by saying that I have never left a negative review before, but I feel it’s important to share my experience at this facility.

While this barn is great for trail rides and lessons—with wonderful trails surrounding the property—I cannot recommend it for horse boarding. On multiple occasions, I visited and found that there was no hay on-site for days. The horses were left on pasture even when there was little to no grass available. My horse who had never shown food aggression in over four years of ownership—began displaying this behavior while boarded here.

Additionally, the owner closely monitors boarders through security cameras and has used recorded conversations against them. While I completely understand the need for cameras for safety reasons, actively reviewing footage and listening to private conversations feels like an overstep. I once mentioned to a barn friend that my horse seemed thinner than usual, only to later be confronted and accused of “spreading rumors” based on a conversation that had been secretly reviewed.

Again, this facility has great trails and can be a good choice for lessons or trail riding, but I strongly advise against boarding here.

I would give ZERO STARS if I could! Went for a trail ride and the horses were in awful shape. Skin and bones!! They don't have free access to hay! The horses water buckets are filthy! I have heard from others the owner will go months without paying employees!! This place needs to be reported and shut down! I DO NOT recommend this place at all! Please support a different business who actually cares about their horses welfare!

WORST PLACE IN THE WORLD

My husband and I did the 2 hour trail ride and it was fantastic! The trail guides were super friendly and lovely! The horses were well trained/behaved as well as super sweet! Would recommend to anyone wanting to try horse riding. Plus the horses were beautiful!

I signed my daughter up for horse camp for a week; she asked me the night before if she could skip 1 day of camp. I said no!
During the camp week she mentioned to me that there was nothing better and she REALLY loved camp, I kindly asked her if she still wanted to skip a day of which she QUICKLY responded NO! 🤣
Love this place and what it did for my 15 year old daughters CONFIDENCE! Well worth it!

Ride was fantastic! The guides are incredibly friendly, and the trail is gorgeous. Very beautiful and easygoing horses. Will make sure to stop by if we're ever in the area again!

Seems extremely scammy if I'm being honest. Bought a 2 hour trail ride for my partner as an anniversary gift. Our ride was canceled 4 separate times. Once I informed the person I was talking to that we had moved 13 hours away and would not be returning for a trail ride only then was I told they don't do refunds. This was not on the website as they had taken down the original website I made the booking on nor was it stated in my confirmation email. That's $200 I've lost over a service I never received. My friend and I talked about this and as she takes care of horses herself, had informed me that this place is notorious for the malnutrition of their horses. There's even photo proof on their own Facebook page of a malnourished horse, you can see the poor things hips clearly. I would not recommend this place, I've had a terrible experience.
