From Monica, to Claudia to Farmer Sunny, everyone was so helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome. We purchased tickets thru Groupon which included $15 to use towards activities on the farm and you can always purchase more tickets onsite. Our group did a lil of everything , petting zoo, archery, maze, pumpkin decorating, pony riding. They have a small food court with 2-3 food vendors. The lady with the tacos and pupusas is so nice and friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. The hot dogs are yummy with an amazing snap to them. There was a small family business selling fresh sourdough as well so we had to pick some up. Yes the bathrooms are port a potties but they are clean. Internet is choppy as expected up on a mountain and actually forced everyone to be present and enjoy time together rather than being on our phones posting. It's a cute lil farm and it was such a great time. Thank you for having us!

My daughter has been going to local farms here and there for last 2 years but never really found a "home" or instructors who got through to her. Was looking for a place and by accident saw one of Rosewood's camps advertised on FB and at same time a friend also recommended Rosewood. It started with a camp few months ago and my 10 year old daughters's interest and confidence has only grown. She has progressively gotten better, found her confidence and is very active. Not only she is getting better at riding but it's teaching her responsibility for taking care of something else other than herself. We are there 4-5 times a week, have found amazing families and other kids who share same love of these beautiful, majestic horses. The trainers are awesome, very helpful. Highly recommend, maybe start with one of the camps "Jelly" the head trainer runs.

The brother and sister, Loura Christine Bonner who run the place have no business caring for animals. They employ the cheapest people possible, with absolutely no knowledge of horses at all. They claim to be a rescue also, but the reality is, the poor horses on their property need to be rescued from the neglect that their experiencing. Loura, claims that she is a zookeeper, from Oregon, when in actually she's a washed up real estate agent. Please, if you have space for rescue horses, please take tall to her about saving a horse from her property. If your thinking about boarding here, go take look at other reviews, many others know how this property is ran. Very poorly maintained, managed. I found myself there looking to help them out,but quickly found myself feeling really uncomfortable with Loura's lack of care of the wellbeing of her horses. Really sad to see so many horses in such need of basic needs like clean water buckets, shoeing care and all kinds of dangerous fences. Very shady operation to say the least. There many great facilities in this valley. I recommend anything but this place. I told the current ranch hand how I thought it wasn't safe or humane for the horses and Loura showed her true colors very quickly which prompted me all the moreto share this info.

Bonner Ranch is a hidden gem that offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. From the moment I arrived. I was captivated by the stunning natural beauty of the ranch.

There wasn't tons of people so I could really feel like i got away from the busy city life. I notice the staff work hard to maintain the grounds and make sure everything is in it's place. The ranch-hand is on top of keeping the stalls in proper condition. I will return for sure. Thank You Bonner Family.
