★★★★★Featured review by Ashley Lukaszewski

This place was amazing and the staff is so friendly. I had booked a trail ride for my 9yr old daughter and her 2 friends. Unfortunately when the day arrived everyone got sick with the flu! I was so worried about cancelling/rescheduling. They were totally cool about it! Our trail ride was so much fun and our two guides, Cara & Taylor, were absolutely fantastic! They talked to the kids throughout the entire ride since it was their first time & I could tell the kids were having fun & were super calm. We will definitely go back!

This equestrian center is excellent for introducing children of all ages to horseback riding, with patient staff who specialize in making nervous first-timers feel comfortable.

“I took my 7 year old daughter for her first trail ride here. We both enjoyed it. Molly was a good trail leader. The price was fair. It was great that the place provides helmets for underage riders. My only suggestion is that the staff clean and sanitize the helmets more often. They had the smell of sweat. Overall I would recommend. Don't go on raising the price!”

“A friendly, country style ranch, with horses to ride, lessons, and trails. I've seen children of all ages ride here, even very young children. The California Rangers meet here, and they look sharp! It's only a few minutes outside of the city.”
