β€œWe had an absolutely wonderful horseback riding experience and can’t recommend this place enough. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, safe, and genuinely cared for. They took the time to explain everything clearly, matched each rider with the perfect horse, and never rushed the process. The horses were calm, well cared for, and clearly loved, which made the ride feel relaxed and enjoyable even for less experienced riders and kids. The trail itself was beautiful with plenty of time to take in the scenery and really enjoy the ride. The guides were great, especially Karen. She was knowledgeable, patient, and great at making everyone feel comfortable. This was one of those experiences that stays with you afterward. If you’re considering horseback riding here, don’t hesitate. It was well run, memorable, and absolutely worth it.”

β€œSusie Qs ranch provides a wonderful experience riding through the hills of Murrieta. Karen and Susie were very kind and informative on how to handle their horses. The horses were well trained and we felt safe and secure the entire time. Thank you for taking care of us- we will definitely be back again :)”
