  I love my seahorses and I'm very grateful that there is a place to get a well thought out answer instead of relying on a local store."

Thank you SO much!"

• " Hi.
  I am The Youth Services Coordinator at the Conneaut Public Library in Ohio. My director, Kathleen Pape, ordered 2 Sunburst Mustangs from you this week. You shipped on Tuesday, August 16. It is Thursday, August 18 and they arrived at 2:30 pm. A bag of the red Hawiian shrimp came with. Should I put all of them in my aquarium? There are several of them. And also should I wait the 24 hours to feed my new babies as they travelled for 2 days? They are so awesome. I actually cried when I opened their shipping container. This has been a year in the making. I learned alot about water conditions for a salt water tank. I pray I can keep them, alive!

  Thank you,"

  -- Steph Gildone

• " I attached some photos of my new arrived healthy Mustangs. They arrived alive and well. The female full eggs, poor gal, about 5 minutes after being introduced into the tank, had an accident and spilled out what I would guess to be about 50 or so bright orange eggs. She was good about recovering herself though. She automatically dove down to the ball sponge in the tank and held her opening against it for about 30 minutes or so. I think she probably still has eggs in her from the looks of her. I hope so anyways. If not, better luck next time. I really appreciate your speedy delivery, and well done packaging. I think they are going to do great!
  
  Later in the tank you may be able to see that they are still doing well and adjusting with the other Mustangs around the 2 hour mark. I am very satisfied.
  
  Thank You! --

• " Hi again Craig (Ocean Rider Crew. Well my new ponies arrived today and I must say they both look absolutely fantastic. Definitely a very very happy customer of yours.The female Has outrageous coloring and striking lines, spikes and patterns. And the male mustang is also a magnificent Orange coloring as well. Great job with picking these guys out for me...thanks.

  So needless to say they are both way above my expectations.

  Thanks so much for making my first & now second Seahorse venture a fun and exciting experience.They are all doing fantastic. All of them are so wonderfully different in appearance and behavior. Fantastic color contrast...all of them.

  Please let me know as soon as the Red Brazilero's are large enough to sell. You have a guaranteed sale with me for the nicest mated pair that you have available.

  Thanks a million Craig...Aloha!"

• " I have had your pipefish for several months now all are fine and growing. I tried from other sources with no success,thanks OR. Also the stangs and sun-bs are great and very healthy.

  Yours truly,"

  -- Omar (USA)

• " Hi There!
  

  It's been a little over a week now since I received my shipment of Sunbursts and I wanted to let you all know how impressed I've been! I had called you the day they were to be shipped because of my worries over a Mid-Atlantic snow storm that was forecast to hit our region (which included the Memphis Fed-Ex hub) on the seahorse scheduled arrival. I spoke with Carol, who was more than helpful in "calming my fears" and most of all, Carol was the example of stellar customer service! To my amazement, the Sunbursts arrived to my hometown of Fredericksburg, Virginia on time and just as you promised, as healthy and active as I have ever seen, and in a snow storm to boot!!

  Anyway, what I really wanted to convey is that I have never seen such beautiful, hardy, robust and active seahorese ever...anywhere!! I am still in awe of their health and beauty! They are trully amazing to watch and feed! My only hope is that I can keep them as healthy and active as they arrived to me(as you promised they would!),so that I can set up another tank and place another order!! My sincerest thanks and gratitude to all of you!

  You all are the best, bar none!!

  I couldn't be happier with the seahorses and with your customer service!!

  Thank you to all!!"

   -- Richard Hasty (USA)

• " The customer support was/is just amazing. The seahorses we bought from Oceanrider arrived in great condition, healthy, not shy at all and adapted very quickly to their new home. They are very social, so much fun and their colors are stunning.

  This is definitely a place I recommend to anyone interested in Seahorses. "

  -- Carolina

• " Dear Carol,
  

  I just wanted to tell you thank you for the beautiful Sunbursts that I just received from you! They are a really lovely pair. And it looks like you were most generous with the red shrimp as well. Thanks again for the wonderful service and the beautiful, healthy seahorses."

   -- Tom (USA)

• "I received the 2 banded pipes last week and am happy to say they look great and are doing fine. I look forward to my next purchase, probably mustangs. Thanks very much."

   -- Omar (USA)

• "Received them yesterday and they are beautiful—just what I hoped they would be—thanks!"

   -- Sandra (USA)

• "Been a fan of OR for more than 7-8 years now. You guys are amongst the most skillful and conscientious minded online vendors and researchers I have come across. Thanks for all that you do."

   -- Paul (USA)
• " Hey guys!
  

  I know I emailed earlier with all the details of my new seahorse's arrival, but I just wanted to let you know that these are the most beautiful seahorses I've seen. Just last week I was at my LFS and they had 3 seahorses for sale. I sat looking at them for some time just observing.

  They looked very healthy to me, but I had already determined I was buying mine from Ocean Rider and had no intention of changing my mind, even though the owner tried to convince me that I should. The seahorses you sent me are like nothing I've ever seen in a LFS. I now know what a beautiful, healthy seahorse really looks like. The ones in the pet store don't even compare to the size and beauty of the seahorses I recieved today from Ocean Rider.

  Thanks so Much for Everything! "
  
   -- Chandra (USA)
• " Thank you for all of the information. This course was fantastic!! We are looking forward to bringing our new Seahorses home, once we are completely ready of course. I would definitely recommend this program to others! "

• "Just wanted to let you know that Trigger, Sunny, Milo and Venus arrived safely 2 weeks ago and acclimated quickly. The ladies really scarf up the food at their abalone shell feeding station. Milo has been the "shy feeder", but after reviewing the forum (again and again) I didn't get too nervous or panic, he wasn't concave so may have been eating 'pods when I wasn't looking. I started target feeding him since he wasn't going to the feeding station and he's getting much bolder now. Trigger is all a stallion should be: boy or girl, he wraps tails and dances!

  After 9 months of planning for them, they have really exceeded my expectations! Mahalo!

  Pete's down to earth guides and advice are priceless! He is the reason I learned that I could confidently do this, especially with your exceptional seahorses. I cringe when I see seahorses on the 'net for $19.99. I believe you get what you pay for... and I have no regrets for the cost. I love all my fish in my other reef tank. But seahorses evoke a much higher emotion...more like my dogs, cats and birds.
  
  Some day in the future in a bigger house, I'll have a bigger seahorse tank and you can expect to hear from me again.
  Thanks!"
  

  -- Peg (United States)
• "Just emailing to say thank you for working with me to bring me two beautiful H. erectus seahorses. I am thoroughly pleased and they are doing very well so far. When they first arrived, one was slightly tipsy, but I believe this may be due to the fact that they had not seen light for two days. They are now both doing fine in the tank set up. The lighter female seahorse is especially doing well; she has shown no signs of sickness or over-stress at all. I am feeding them piscine frozen mysis.
  
  I will be sure to keep in touch and let you know of any changes. Thank you much!"
  -- Marisa Adhikusuma
• "OMG. This pony is really spectacular! MAHALO! What a regal animal. He's almost done acclimating now. Thanks again."
  -- Steve (United States)
• "Aloha! I am moved by your appearance on Andy's show. I live by myself, on the beautiful island of Kauai. I am fortunate to live next to the ocean, and love all its wonder. Could I possibly be a good owner of a sea horse pet?"
   -- Marianne (United States) 
• "You did the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are beautiful. I am so excited. Had to take off work today just to see them. Picked them up at about 8:40 this am. Thanks so much. Talk to you soon. Now that we are so hooked on seahorses. "
   -- Linda Routledge (Oklahoma City, OK)
• "Just to let you know Spikeys arrived. Loved the colors. Acclaimated very quickly. I am very happy with my order and hope to order more soon. Thank you very much!"
    -- Norman H. Freiert Jr (New York)
• "I am thrilled with my new seahorses. After years of dreaming and about 6 months of planning, I finally decided to take the plunge, and I am so happy I shopped with you. Your customer service is great. The captive-bred path is truly the way to go. The horses were happy, hitching, and eating right out of the bag! They interact with each other and the environment, and they watch me watch them! Thanks, and I look forward to ordering from you in the future!"
    -- Morgan (Missouri)
• "My wife and I visited your farm in Feb. this year and we think this was the most memorable part of our cruise to Hawaii..."
    -- Gordon Hoskins (United States)
• "I have had my Mustangs 3 weeks today. When I received Sally & Sam the packings list indicated FREE PREGANCY. I found 4 baby seahorses this am. I have carefully captured them & placed them in a collection box within my tank, added a small air stone and put about 4 drops of "Life A" in the box. The little herd is doing quite well and very active. What else should I be doing for feeding them? By the way, Sally & Sam are my first pair of Seahorses and it has been so satisfying to have such healthy and beautiful seahorses. This has been worth all the years Ive waited to have a Seahorse Tank and accidently finding Ocean Rider Seahorses was my greatest find."
   -- Louise Fink (United States)
• "I would just like to thank you for the fantastic seahores that arrived today. The sunbursts were a nice yellow color. After full acclimation the horse are swimming and eating frozen mysis like they have been in the tank for months. Far exceeded my expectations. Thank you once again."
    -- Doug Derksen (United States)
• "Just a quick note to let you know the seahorses arrived in great condition! They´ve settled in already. They are lively and have been actively looking for food so we fed them. They were hungry! The sea lettuce and ogo are in great condition. I didn´t realize that the Hawaiian Ogo would be such a magnificent color! I AM SO HAPPY WITH THESE SEAHORSES! I promise you they will receive excellent care."
   -- Dolores Howell "Dee" (United States)
• "All arrived in great shape with kicking seahorses and not one dead shrimp. My old guys from you gobbled up the 1st bag of shrimp and are looking for more! The new pair have settled down they are still very stressed (like me after a long flight) ! I´m seeing an orange brown type color right now and time will tell after they feel at home :) The new pair is the perfect size not to small and not to big. The female is amazed with micro hermits! No snicks on them yet but she can if she wants to. Thank you for such prompt service and over the top packing."
   -- John Scott (United States)
• "The ponies arrived safely and in good health. I´m very impressed with the quality of your stock. They look exactly as shown in your product photo."
   -- Richard Chan (United States)
• "I received my package about an hour ago. The packing was great! Heatpacks were still warm and the pony´s were very active! I have acclimated them and they are very active and beautiful."
    -- Peter Hodges (United States)
