Posted on Google Kari CastleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place to learn. Great people. Great horses! We love this barn, don't miss out an an amazing experiencePosted on Google Rhonda BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue. I rode here in college over 20 years ago. At the time, I already had over 10 years of experience as a working student, and I was impressed at the quality of horses and instruction without the pretentiousness that is so common at riding schools. I had my first half lease here and when I moved for grad school, this was the place to which I compared all others. I got back into horses nearly a year ago after a 15 year hiatus and I am thrilled to be back. The owner, Michelle, has a huge heart and continues to prioritize her horse's welfare along with rider safety, all while trying to keep prices accessible. You will learn comprehensive horse care, not just riding. You will be encouraged to try things like side-lining and riding bareback. There is a show team if you are into that, and also a welcoming community if you just want to ride on the property with friends. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a horse and an instructor for you here.Posted on Google Patricia BaldrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place for kids classes. My 6 year old boy loves to take lessons there. The instructors are extremely supportive and patient, and the prices are very reasonable.Posted on Google Betty MerrillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the Sacramento Regions best kept secrets! A wonderful place staffed with amazing people and incredible horses. The pony party we enjoyed was definitely a memorable experience. Lessons, boarding, pony parties at a working ranch. Pine Trails Ranch offers everything you and your child can dream of. A pony ride is exciting, learning to care for a horse and truly being part of the rhythm of life at the ranch sets this experience apart in life changing ways. I can't extol the virtues of Pine Trails enough. Special thanks to our hostess with the mostest, Michelle. You made our day extra special just by virtue of being you. Horse trainer Megan was very patient with my autistic granddaughter while allowing her to fully experience her day. Thank you very much Megan! That was a cool trick you pulled today. We will definitely be returning to the Ranch very soon! If you want to be babysat by a party planner, this may not be the venue for you, If you want an authentic experience in a beautiful space that leaves lasting memories, book your pony party or lesson today! Space fills fast...Posted on Google susie VidalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great ranch to take kids for lessons my son loved it and the horses
