I wouldn't recommend this business for its dog breeding. I had a bad experience with the owner, and thought she was consistently rude.

I agree with everything Brett T. says, and more. I went to buy a horse from them. I was quoted a price that I agreed with. When I went to write the check, the price magically doubled. Needless to say, I walked away.

Brett,



We have received and read your review. This review is hysterical. I commend you for your imagination. You forgot the part when you were so happy until you learned that at 325 pounds you exceeded our weight limit and would not be allowed to ride. You also forgot the part when you were polite to our trail guide about not being able to accommodate you, but you were hostile and a bully to me when we were alone, threatening me with writing bad reviews about me all over the universe! Oh, and we all enjoyed the story of how you told our trail guide you were 260 pounds and your daughter said "daddy, you were 325 yesterday when you got on the scales!" Thank you, Brett, we enjoyed the laugh. Based on the fact we have received a Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor for the past two years, and we have numerous honest reviews on our website, as well as on Trip Advisor, we will just have to ignore your bullying, dishonest, sensationalizing personality, staged photos, and let our attorneys take care of the rest. Best of luck to you. I would like to add, I have played your voice mails to the authorities and they were not amused with your "what I have done so far has barely scratched the surface of what I can do to you...." message. Kelly, Owner of Splendor Farms

On June 30, 2014, I took my family to Splendor Farms in Bush, LA. The following is a true and accurate statement of our experiences during our stay...



My children wanted to go horseback riding and after searching the internet, they found the website for Splendor Farms in Bush, LA. I went online and researched and found many negative reviews and also positive reviews about this place... I was to find out later that the positive reviews must have been left by friends and family of Splendor Farms or by the management itself.



That being said, I will now DETAIL this "All Inclusive" experience:



THE STENCH



From the moment I opened my truck door until after I left, my nostrils were filled with the aroma of fresh squeezed feces. If you enjoy the smell of animal dung, this is the place for you!



BREAKFAST



When we found this place online, it was advertised as a bed and breakfast. The "breakfast" that we got was muffins wrapped in cellophane, three yogurts, juice, and three apples located in a mini fridge next to a disgusting toilet that would not flush...LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO THE NASTY BROKEN TOILET.



POOL AREA



The pool was filthy. There was not only a lot of debris floating in the pool, but also swimming bugs, and worse of all, dead frogs floating in the pool. To top off this "experience" the biting flies and mosquitoes were so bad that we could not spend more than 10 minutes out there before we had to go inside.



"PETTING ZOO"



This is NOT like any petting zoo I have ever been too. The ground was "Slip-n-slide sloppy" and muddy, the animals were covered in mud and dirt and biting flies. The "zoo" as it is described on their website consists of a few goats, sheep, and two ponys...one of which bit my 10 year old daughter and drew blood. Once again, the owner shrugged this off with the, "you ARE on a farm" excuse.



THE PUPPY FARM



We were not allowed to go into the pen with the puppies unless we...and I quote..."are prepared to pay $1500 in case one gets hurt" because she said, her puppies are special and that is what she sells them for. Nice attitude. Now, although the puppy area was clean, the place where they keep the adult dogs they breed was atrocious. The SPCA should make a surprise inspection....don't worry, I called them.



NASTY ATTITUDE OF THE OWNER



Kelly Bensabat...what can I say about this "lovely" woman? All of us...including my children, were made to feel as if we were intruding on her property. Her permanent scowl made my children want to stay in the room because they were afraid that she would yell at them. Picture the woman in the beginning of the Wizard Of OZ that took Toto away...Almira Gulch...THAT IS HOW THIS WOMAN ACTS.



Friends, I truly hope you heed my warning and steer very clear of this nasty and stinky place...THE ONLY THING THEY DO WELL IS MAKE EXCUSES.
