Pushing the excitement level and challenge of what one would expect to the next level! Crossing the river and being deep in the Oregon's natural forested beauty, I cannot say enough good things about the ranch and the pride they take in their animals and the people that come to visit. Thank you very much for the opportunity to allow us to feel like we were real seasoned riders, and giving us time to connect with the horses and the nature that surrounds us. Cannot imagine how you could do it better? Family owned and operated for several generations, they have a wealth of knowledge about the land and its history.

The owner Sarah is a former teacher and she and her staff were wonderful. The girls learned to groom the horses, braid the horses manes and even decorate the horses. Then off to an indoor arena lesson and games while riding. Followed by a trail ride. Looking forward to returning with the family for the family lesson at very competitive pricing.

Elsie pays excellent attention to the individual care and needs of each horse to ensure proper care. The turnout situation is one of the best I have seen among various boarding facilities. Horses hooves are even picked by staff after they have been outside. Feed quality is great- horses are fed as much as they need and have individualized feeding plans that are adjusted as needed. The barn is quiet and peaceful. There is never traffic in the arena and the property is well-maintained. There is little tolerance for drama and Elsie ensures that the dynamic at the barn (whether it is staff or boarders) stays pleasant and professional. If you are looking for quality care, a quiet and kind social dynamic, and a beautiful place to spend time with your horse, Wild Rose Farm is a great option.

The large indoor arena is a plus for our rainy winters allowing one to ride all year. Lovely trails into the woods behind for trail rides. All you needs are met equipment wise.

I looked over several places and this by far is the BEST!

We came upon Starker Forestry Tour trail online when checking along the 20 for short trails we…read moremight want to check out as passing through. It's super easy to find from the 20, just a few minutes down a paved and gravel road with good signage. There's a small parking area at an intersection of roads where the tour begins. As a tree hugger I generally cringe, plug my ears, or turn away from anything involving the removal of even one tall beauty. But I will admit, after taking the informative trail I respected the education and information provided by the tour. The trail starts at a large covered pavilion with long benches and utilizes signposts along the short loop to help both kids and adults learn about the industry, as well as the natural inner workings of the forest. Special focus is given to beauty #15 and it's individual purpose, as well as how the environment around it has changed through the years. The path is well-maintained, fairly flat and easy, with an even gravel surface. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, the Starker Forestry Tour has a beautiful setting and offers a simplistic way to learn a bit more about the gorgeous Oregon forests.

Upon visiting the stables and meeting Lisa and her horses, I knew we had found a special place. My daughter has been taking weekly lessons for over a year and absolutely loves it. She has learned so much and her confidence--both around horses and toward life in general--continues to increase steadily. Lisa's unbelievable patience is exceeded only by her in depth knowledge and technical skills. And, as a side note worthy of mention, I've never seen a more universally happy group of horses in all my years in the equine community. This is a very happy, supportive, warm and professional business, but feels more like family. We consider ourselves lucky to have found Lisa and Spring High Stables and cannot recommend them highly and/or often enough!
