The owners Ann and Frank are the nicest hardworking people you will ever meet. They are both 100% hands on people, and for that reason you get a family environment when you walk in the barn. The trainers have all gone above and beyond for our girls, they have a genuine care and respect for the horses and the riders. Our youngest is trying her hardest to one day be apart of the show team. She is being trained very well by all the trainers, especially Katie & Ann. They both take the time to teach fundamentals to make her a better rider. Our older daughter has a developmental delay, her trainer, Aurora is very patient but disciplined while keeping a calm presence. The barn has a great family oriented atmosphere, everyone has a great sense of humor and we're grateful we found them!

My child had one lesson here several years ago. The owner was rude and aggressive. The lessons…read morewere given by a fellow student (teenager). The tack on the horse was incorrect and my daughter almost slid off. Lesson took place walking back and forth in a crowded barn dodging random dogs. Horse escaped during our lesson and it was utter chaos; owner yelled at everyone once the crisis was over (including me) for not reacting fast enough. My child still rides; we live across the street from Miller but drive 30 minutes to a barn she loves with excellent instruction where I don't worry about her safety.

All instructors are very hands on and I know my kids are in excellent care at all times. We are forever grateful for the people here who welcomed us onto their farm and into their hearts.

Prices are very reasonable. Taking lessons at Rockin' L&D Ranch was a great experience for me daughter, and I'm grateful for that. Definitely recommended.

I love Daley Ranch! It's a great location in Escondido for hiking and mountain biking…read more There's a lot of parking available and plenty of trails to choose from. I rode mountain bikes out there with a couple of my girlfriends today. The trails are really fun, not too technical for bikes. Some absolutely beautiful view points especially along Boulder Loop. Unfortunately, we were moving too fast to stop and take a photo there, but we did get a selfie in front of the lake! There are porta potties at the parking lot and there are also some little bathroom houses inside the park. No running water though so be prepared with your hand sanitizer if you're planning to use it.

Love hiking here! So many trails you can through. It's also a nice place to camp and go fishing.read more

I took some time to type this review as I would never want to negatively impact a company but…read morethought I owed it to the community to share our experience. We recently had a very disappointing and concerning experience with this horseback riding company. Unfortunately, the horses provided for our group did not appear to be properly trained or well-managed. Several of the horses were extremely difficult to control, and their behavior raised serious safety concerns from the start. During the ride, two horses became particularly unruly and ended up bucking, throwing two members of our group off onto the ground. This was a frightening and potentially dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious injury. While we understand that working with animals always carries some risk, this level of behavior suggests a lack of adequate training, supervision, or proper matching of horses to riders. After this negative experience the Owner refused to reimburse us. She offered us a credit to come back and take another ride with them. After this experience, the ladies are terrified to get on another horse. I would strongly encourage the company to review their safety protocols, horse training practices, and staff preparedness to ensure a safer experience for future guests. I leave you all with the horses are beautiful and you can tell they are well taken care but you should be a very experienced rider if you book with this company.

PLEASE READ THIS!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. FOR…read moreYOUR SAFTEY TRY ANOTHER HORSE COMPANY WITH BETTER TRAINED HORSES AND A MORE CARING OWNERS. This what I sent to the owner after my other friend send a massage. We were offered some type of credit. There's no way in hell I would ever return here! To top it off... the owner said she replied with an email after several attempts to get her to respond. Nothing! To give you an idea of our experience, I'm being very transparent and showing you what I sent to the owner and her not responding with any type of concern. Good afternoon, My name is Jonnie Thomas, and I was one of the eight riders on the Saturday, April 18th 2:30 PM trail ride with Gabby. I am writing to formally request a full refund for all eight participants due to the unsafe conditions and negligence we experienced during this ride. While we understand that waivers were signed, those waivers do not absolve your business from responsibility when horses are knowingly placed into service in unsafe conditions. Several horses appeared overworked (some reportedly on their third ride of the day), hungry, and agitated--conditions that directly contributed to dangerous and unpredictable behavior. I was assigned the horse Maverick and was explicitly warned about his aggressive tendencies. Despite having prior riding experience, it became immediately clear that this horse was not suitable for a group trail ride. During the ride: * Maverick attempted to buck me off early on. * He later bit Gabby, causing her to bleed. * On the return, he became unresponsive, agitated, and ultimately bucked me off causing myself injury. * He then ran off, spooking the other horses and causing a chain reaction that resulted in two additional riders falling. As a direct result of this incident: * Two riders required medical attention at urgent care. Sprained wrist and CT scan. * Multiple riders experienced significant emotional distress. * The ride became chaotic and unsafe for all participants. It is also concerning that, despite this being described as an "investigation," no one from your organization has contacted the riders involved to obtain firsthand statements. A proper and credible investigation must include the accounts of those directly affected. Given the severity of this incident, we expect: 1 A full refund for all eight riders 2 A prompt and direct response addressing this matter We request a response within 5 business days. If this matter is not resolved promptly, we will be forced to pursue additional steps, including formal complaints and public reviews detailing our experience. We would strongly prefer to resolve this matter professionally and without escalation. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Nothing! The owner is very unprofessional! Be warned! Please go somewhere else. *** I honestly can't believe the responses from this owner and Gabby!!!! Gabby was in the front so did not see the craziness that happened in the back. I have 8 girls saw Gabby get bit, so for her to deny she was bit is wild to me. 2 of our girls went to the hospital and yes, in fact had injuries. I wish I could upload our hospital paperwork. For the record, everyone wore a helmet. We were hesitant because of the nastiness and conditions of the helmet. Maverick should've never been taking out. Plain and simple! At this point I'm fighting for the principle of the outcome. I don't even care about the refund anymore. It's clear that the owner isn't going to give it and just continues to lie to protect her company, including her wrangler Gabby. Very disappointed! But this review is to warn the public! So many other options. I typically leave only POSITIVE reviews but I can't with this company.

When I found Charlotte at Salty Horse Stables, I was ecstatic to get one-on-one lessons that really taught me how to ride at a safe pace. She takes the time to get to know every student and their needs, and never pushes anyone to do something that makes them uncomfortable. A year in, I started doing small jumps in the arena - something I never expected I could do (or even knew that I wanted to do!), and I'm so grateful for Charlottes professionalism along the way. She is incredibly encouraging even on my worst days and cheers me on when I have my great days. I've seen her with children too, offering trails rides to build their confidence (which is how I started as well) and I love how she makes horseback riding fun.
