I absolutely love this ranch. The rides are so nice and you actually ride in the woods and not around their property.Always a good experience ?

Marcy is so welcoming, the entire staff is! This place is wonderful. A great trail ride! You don't have to have experience with riding horses, they will teach you everything you need to know. You even get to feed your horse carrots at the end to reward them. Beautiful location, nice people, and sweet horses. Can't wait to go back!

Pretty unpleasant experience. Their website advertised the option of riding with your toddler on a horse for the hour ride through the state forest, and their website allowed us to register two adults/two horses for a horse ride when we indicated we had 2 adults and a toddler on the registration form. We called a day ahead to confirm location/starting point. They suddenly demanded pay for another horse and insisted that our 2 year old would need to ride separately on her own horse, despite their acknowledgement that their website said otherwise. We were not comfortable with this and asked for our money back based on their website indicating we could ride with our toddler. They refused. We also found out they would’ve charged us the $50 for a third horse, plus another $25 for our toddler‘s horse to be walked for the hour, although they were not transparent about this during the call. We understood that their policy changed, but it is not our fault that they didn’t update their website to reflect policy changes. They demanded that we reschedule without our toddler if we were unwilling for our 2 year old to ride on a separate horse, refusing to credit us back. This was a birthday present to our toddler; so this was an unacceptable resolution. We are disputing through our credit card. I would not do business with these individuals again given their unreasonable response and stubbornness as business owners.

My first time riding a horse in Florida and the last time I rode a horse was in my early 20’s. I absolutely loved it! I went with my family and all my grandchildren loved it. I hope we go back for the kids birthday parties.

My fiancé and I went on our first 5 mile trail ride here on Saturday and let me say that was one of the best times I have had in a long time! Everyone is super sweet, the horses are very calm and gentle. I rode Athena and she stayed at a slow walk because she could feel I was a bit nervous in the beginning once she felt my eagerly become more at ease and that I was comfortable we started walking faster and then we moved to a trot. They are all extremely well mannered and trained horses. My fiancé rode Miss Priss and he was super comfortable with her also. I can’t thank you guys enough! I am also starting as a volunteer there today (Monday) I’m so excited!

My first visit to Crazy 8 Ranch was more than 10 years ago. The horseback riding is NOT nose to tail, though the horses are dependable. But they do have a brain and a mind of their own, so it makes the rides fun and interesting. After passing through a neighborhood, the rides enter the Apalachicola National Forest. The rider can sign up for horses based on your skill and a ride based on how long you want to be in the saddle. Many of the horses are rescues whose lives have been improved by joining the crew at Crazy 8. You can also lease a horse from Crazy 8 and ride on your own or bring your own horse and rent space. There are campsites available if you want to stay awhile. The place has summer and Christmas camps for kids along with riding lessons for both adults and young people.I still go to Crazy 8 and am impressed with what Marci DeCamp has created out of the space and the number of horses she has managed to rescue. This place is worth your time, your money and your sore butt after a ride in the woods!

The owner is rude and unprofessional. She uses unsafe tack and puts people on horses that shouldn't be ridden

Joe our guide was friendly and fun! We loved riding through the Alachua National Forest. Most of the horses are rescues and so sweet! They give lessons on riding. I highly recommend them.

This trail ride experience was a ton of fun. The trainers are experienced and match you with the perfect horse for your experience level. They check on you throughout your ride and the forest trails provide an awesome scenery. Will definitely be coming back!
