We made an inquiry online and same day, Beki called us and helped us make a reservation online for the next day. The ranch was easy to find and very beautiful when you arrive. We were greeted by Hannah who was also our tour guide. She thoroughly explained how to properly ride the horse, gave us an agenda beforehand and made sure we were safe throughout the trail. She took some awesome photos of us too. Any question I asked, she answered. Hannah was very informative, kind and patient with us. Her passion for horses illuminated the tour. So glad she was our leader! The horses, May, Marigold and Willow - wonderful. They were professional and well taken care of. The horses on the ranch are super healthy and didn't give anyone problems. They are just as happy as us guests. Can't wait to come back.

From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for and were guided through important equestrian etiquette, which made everything feel safe and welcoming. The ranch itself is simple and beautiful, letting the landscape speak for itself. The staff was wonderful in helping us get comfortable with our horses. who were so gentle and sweet. Riding at golden hour was magical; the light over the reservation was breathtaking, and our guide shared thoughtful insights about the area along the way. We celebrated our anniversary here and couldn't have chosen a more memorable setting. I would absolutely visit again and can't recommend this place enough

Every Monday they invite young children to visit. It costs $10.00 and each child rides a pony and learns to brush and care for horses. They have two ponies tied up under shelter where they have toddlers and preschool kids brush and love on them. Every family is invited to bring carrots and apples to feed all of the animals. They suggest that you cut the carrots and apples so that they are bite size. The larger horses will take a whole apple but each time they take a bite of a new apple half of it falls out of their mouth. This means that you have to pick it up out of the dirt to give them the other half. The donkeys will heavily compete for their fair share. All of the animals were super outgoing and friendly. They knew exactly why people were there and eagerly awaited their treats. On a side note horseback riding and trail riding lessons are available for ages 6 and up. Children 2 to 5 years old have one on one lessons with hand led instructors. I was told that you can stop by anytime that they are open to feed the animals. Just remember to cut up the food beforehand.

I have ridden for over 35 years at all different levels and disciplines and I have to say that I have learned more in the last 5 years on how to "really" ride, communicate with my horse, and to not just be a passenger. This has translated into a whole new relationship with my horses. Under Peri's instruction I have won more accolades in the show ring than I could have ever anticipated and have had tons of fun at the same time. Peri is an honest, true horsewoman with a ton of talent and is a great choice for those just wanting to learn how to ride, have a horse at home that needs a tune up, or for those aspiring to win in the show ring.

We had only done archery one time before and that was at Disney's Fort Wilderness, which was with a…read moregroup of 10 other people, outside in the hot sun, and with one instructor for everyone. That was fun, but not individualized and very fast learning and probably not the best either. When we told our friends, they recommended this place since they've been coming here for a couple months, so we decided to book an intro session while they booked an hour for themselves. The place is small but honestly, it was better that way, didn't have to worry about 20 people all over the place. There's a gym in the back too. We were first shown around the whole place and then everything was explained to us. We were given arm guards and finger guards to use, along with the bows and arrows. We had a whole hour of shooting time and we had an instructor that stayed nearby the whole time working very closely to encourage us, give pointers, let us know what was working or not working, add some incentives, and throw in some games. I'll be honest, I was struggling a lot at first, but with lots of tips from our instructor, and his kind and soft spoken guidance I eventually got a lot better and actually won our little couples game!

He also offers after-school programs, camps, and training for all skill levels, for both youth and adults. We highly recommend it!

I had peeked into Artroom several times finally last year I signed up for a class - the format was really nice ( adult oil ) first weeks all newbies were given a beginners project and Linda walked us through it in detail sharing wonderful tips that I did not even get from Valencia professors - no offense - most importantly her expertise in teaching and reading the class is incredible - she knows each student their capabilities strengths individually and coaches accordingly - giving honest constructive feedback in a very warm manner. People joke that it is a lot cheaper than therapy and works even better. After the initial project everyone works on a project they want and Linda coaches everyone individually on their projects finding bringing resources - recommending references. It is a group class so this level of individualism surprised me in a good way. My only regret is that I did not find artroom sooner
