Upon entering the ranch you feel transformed to a place where everyone is happy being with their horse..Beautiful turn-outs including one under the trees with two picnic tables so it is enjoyable to hang out and relax while your horse wanders around in the shady coolness. People are friendly and I have not seen any drama. Leo the ranch hand really cares about the horses and is hard working as well as Karisa the Manager who is willing to go the extra mile for your horse. She will text or call you when she notices something about your horse. She did for me when my horse's eyed was swollen enabling me to quickly take care of it so that her eye did not get worse. Karisa offers hay upgrades and turn outs for your horse for reasonable add on rates. Karisa and Leo are both friendly and I get to practice my Spanish when communicating with Leo which is a bonus for me! So happy I moved my horse to this ranch!!!

You'll want to learn the phrase "algae sauce" because barn manager insists that Algae Sauce "is normal and that horses love it!" Coincidently, Algae Sauce also hides dead rat I found in my horses water. When I notified management about the second rat, found in horses hay, Kristy called me nasty names in what one can only hope was an alcohol induced rant. She, straight sober, tried to convince me that my pasture horse would thrive without fresh water, with two flakes of cheap hay, provided at random times on most days. Many many times, I would find that they had not fed or only provided a fraction of the portions that were promised. Pasture horses are expected to fight the herd stallion (Krusty's retired horse) for access to water. At one point, I found the tap to the water trough had come apart. Management promised it would be repaired the next day. Four days later, I checked the trough. It was DRY. It had not been fixed. It was 98-100 degrees for those days. My young horse had NO water for at least two of those days. Another horse died from colic three days later. Yes, the ranch is pretty and yes they have a covered arena. But, if they can't deliver fresh water and food, what's the point? Boarders are subjected to price gouging (+$200, monthly for 1cube/week of bedding and you must "subscribe" for a minimum of 6 months) to make up for manager's bad business practices. I'm embarrassed to tell people I boarded my horses here. See photos!

DO NOT MOVE YOUR HORSE HERE!!! The manager has no clue about the pasture - trash all over (I was…read moreconstantly picking up thrown trash) and look at the water the horses were given to drink. It is disgusting. Full of algae They never clean it. One of the Ferrier's couldn't take it and took it upon herself to clean the huge water bin. It took her an hour and she got reprimanded for it instead of a thank you so she only cleaned one. The alpha in the pasture is not accustomed to pasture life and will kill any horse that is a threat. I watched him mount four times in front of me. That mare was badly hurt to where the vet was called. Upon reporting this the manager Kristi Troyna simply texted back 'thank you'. Then she attempted to, in her macheavillian manner, push me out and leave. Threatening email and several texts on file. The harassment was never ending. Kristi should not be in charge any more than her horse should be in a pasture with other horses. I was there and saw too much. They underfeed and what hay I did see every so often, was floor hay, dusty and inedible. I eventually left, needless to say I didn't get a deposit back nor did she prorate my departure. I had to call for police escort, yes she is that nasty. Always yelling at people and complaining about people discussing the inept and disastrous manner in which it runs the ranch. Her reason for not wanting me there was ' not a good fit'. I saw too much. Everyone one there is terrified of her appalling behavior. I might add that the boarding and pasture clients were all lovely. All of them. It was a pleasure to have met them.

Time stands still and yet flies by like crazy at the same time. It is so peaceful and quiet, surrounded by serene foothills, enchanted forests and luscious green pastures/hills. The horses are well taken care of, fed twice a day, cleaned daily for smaller stalls and weekly for the big paddocks. There's different size stalls for different monthly prices. The stables are part of an active cattle ranch, so there's oftentimes some cattle around in the hills. The options for riding out on trails are endless and so fun. Some are easy, others are demanding and challenging. I love being out here, especially early in the morning in the summer.

If we must die, we'll die. But sometimes death is the only way to remain free..." This was actually my first time riding a horse. Horses are so beast. Like that thing could have killed me anytime he wanted to. When we were checking in for our ride, a cowgirl in a long sleeve camo shirt, navy blue jeans, and some cowboy boots with spurs came out and said "Hey y'all!" in a thick Western accent. I look over and the rest of the staff are also full cowgirls. I had to double check I wasn't in the Even Cowgirls Get the Blues novel. Great read. Her name was Sissy and she was our trail guide for the day. She passionately explained how old each horse was and a bit of their backgrounds. My horse's name was Graham and he was a straight thug. He used to carry solar panels up the mountains. Straight workhorse. She had to put him near the back because he wanted to LAP all the other horses. After a 30 minute ride, we were able to walk around the grounds, and see all the other animals on the ranch. Mules, Donkeys, Cows, Horses, Alpacas, Sheep, etc. It was pretty rad. I got a good boot rec from Sissy (Double H Boots), as I'm in the market for some quality boots. Not cowboy boots though I'd be a phony. It was inspirational to see how people still live so differently. Sissy has been riding since she was in diapers and teaches lessons at the ranch full time. I often wonder if this simple of a life leads to greater happiness than climbing the corporate ladder. Comparison is a thief of joy though. If I were a screenwriter, the Ojai Valley Trail Riding Company would provide me with plenty of inspiration for a hit film. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews
