Six out of 5 stars! I am not a consistent rider. I do not own a horse for that reason, but I enjoy…read morelearning what I can in the time that I can. Before I started taking lessons my previous experience was minimal...trail rides and very basic care. I had even taken a fall off of one that was running to the barn (and knowing what I know now I would not have been on that horse to start with.) Prior to lessons I was intimidated and maybe even a little fearful. All of that washed away in my first lesson. What I love the most is that she makes sure you see the whole picture from the first step into the barn to putting them back out. She helps you understand why the movements are so important and how in return the horse is reading them. Imme is a natural teacher and provides clear instruction. She has a passion for the horse and the ride.

I simply cannot say enough good things about Imme and the help she has given me. I started with…read moresome round pen clinics with her, and am currently taking riding/round pen lessons with Imme on my young and green arabian. She has a wonderful, gentle way of pushing me and my horse where we need to be pushed, and then guiding me to become better at the all important release. I am more confident after every lesson with her, and she always gives me great things to think about, and take away to work on for the next ride. I would recommend Imme to new and veteran riders alike (I've been riding my whole life).

We met our guide at a private lot with direct beach access. (No crossing freeways or long rides to the beach) Our guide Steve was friendly and we were given clear instruction before mounting the horses. My husband had never been on a horse before and he was nervous but afterward said he had a great time and felt confident on the horse as we rode. While we did not book a private ride, our group ended up only being our family of three and it was a truly gorgeous day and awesome experience. If we lived local I would do this all the time!

This trail ride was perhaps the worst I've ever experienced for multiple reasons. Two of the…read moreemployees in particular were so rude, uptight, and condescending. I brought a water bottle attached to a lanyard and both of these employees felt the need to judgmentally ask me if I "really needed that water bottle" and "are you sure that won't fall off?" Of course, the water bottle did fall off. When we got back, the man rudely and unnecessarily remarked "I told you it would fall off." I was paired with a terrible horse who did not follow any of my commands, constantly ate the vegetation, pinned his ears at and would try to bite the other horses for no reason, etc. I have some experience riding horses and I was doing my absolute best with this out-of-control horse. In turn, I was continually being barked at by the guides to "pull up on the reins and release, don't let him eat, kick him, go to the back, catch up to the rest of the group, keep him away from the other horses" etc. In addition, we rode through a very busy freeway overpass with multiple onramps/offramps and cars everywhere. We also passed right next to an active railroad. Of course, a train roared past a mere ten feet away from us. The horses spooked and it was a miracle that no one was thrown off. We were not given any prior warning that we would be riding in the middle of these very dangerous environments. If there was a warning in the waiver, I wouldn't have known because we were so rushed to sign it and had no time to read it. We finally made it to the actual beach and spent a mere 20 minutes on the shore before riding back through the danger zones towards home. I spent the entire ride pissed off, disappointed and feeling unsafe.

I have been riding for over 12 years and have trained with various different instructors in the area and no one compares to Peppercorn. Not only are they the most knowledgable, patient instructors, Greg and his wife go above and beyond by accomodating their students and really making these stables a great environment. Greg also does Pony Club, although I never participated in this I've seen all the Pony Club students and they seem to have a wonderful system set up!

Staying at the Rincon Beach RV sites, they are all controlled by Ventura County Park staff, and…read moremost that we encountered, appeared about 18-22 years old, including the "Park Ranger", an unpleasant youngster with a real "I Have a Badge" complex. RV neighbors about as pleasant as they could be, everyone respecting each other's space and curtailing the dog barking. Rules seem to be quite arbitrary, most not written down, seems to be an unwritten Torah of rules that you are expected to abide by without question. When asked about a certain rule being enforced the answer was "Because I told you so." Anyways, we come back all the time and put up with the youngster Park Rangers and staff. Just one of those things I guess. Amazing what a badge does to some personas.

Their policy for reservations says "cancel or reschedule... penalties may apply"…read more I called for a reservation that is 2 months out. I wanted to move the reservation to the following weekend. I was told thatI would pay a cancellation fee AND a re-booking fee. What a waste of money. Never booking with this parks department again.
