    I wanted to go horseback riding for my birthday. I found Stillwater Ranch by searching for trail…read morerides. I am so happy I did. This place was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The owners, Barbara and Dalton were so nice and down to earth, They are true animal lovers just like we are. They have over 20 horse, 3 dogs, 2 mules and they offer it all. This isn't your 1 hour trail ride up a dirt road and back. This ride is 3 to 4 hours long, through trees, down what looks like animal trails in the woods, you criss cross through the woods and clear cuts in the Skykomish River Valley then you head up mountain to this amazing lookout and have lunch. I rode a wonderful gelding named Bernie. Bernie's a Missouri Fox Trotter and he was super sweet. Chris rode Comet, she's a Tennessee Walker. Chris said she floated. You can see for miles up on "the rock". When you look down into the valley and see just how far you have ridden, you are amazed. Dalton said it is probably 5 miles. The lunch is amazing, it's from the Sultan Bakery and it is one of the best lunches I've had. Sitting up on the rock just me, Chris, and Dalton was so relaxing. We became instant friends. Stillwater Ranch offers a variety of rides that include river rafting, fishing, moonlight rides, overnight camping and much, much more. You can ride in all seasons - We are looking forward to a winter ride when the valley is covered in snow. They are even starting a wine dinner ride - woo hoo. The next time we need an equestrian fix, we will look to Stillwater Ranch to supply it.

    This was SO FUN! The people here truly care about horses and about having a good time. We got…read morethere, they assessed our comfort level with horses, then we got right on. I loved that we got on the horses right away. Once on horses that were somewhat aligned with our experience levels and nervousness (I wasn't nervous and got a sassier horse haha), they gave us a brief intro to how to control the horse. Then we were off pretty quickly! The guides spread out throughout our trail group and kept an eye on us. We stayed as a group and they checked in when needed. The views were incredible- we rode right along the river and it was so beautiful. After the ride, we got to feed and brush our horses, and even got to meet some cows and baby horses! It is so lovely to see how happy all the animals are here and how well taken care of they are. Such a special experience!

    We had such a great time at Skyland Ranch! Our tour guide, Peter, was absolutely wonderful, super…read moresweet, welcoming, and genuinely interested in getting to know everyone. He asked a lot of thoughtful questions and made the whole experience feel really personal. I rode a horse named Ditto, and my boyfriend rode Ranger. Both were so well-trained and gentle. The ride itself was peaceful and scenic, and you could tell the horses were well cared for and loved. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxing, memorable horseback riding experience. Thanks again, Peter and Skyland Ranch!

    I would like to have been able to post a good review for Evan Bonner. But, unfortunately, I can't…read more I left with no idea what, if any, training my horse received. Evan was not forthcoming with any information on what exactly he was working on with my horse; and, if I asked I received an evasive reply. The couple of times that I saw him do anything with my horse was a for few minutes during a couple of my so called lessons. I call them so called lessons because Evan either sat and stared at his phone during most of the lesson, or he went off on a nonstop talk that had nothing to do with the lesson or my horse. I also went to a clinic thinking I would learn useful exercises to do with my horse. As with my lessons, he seemed pretty much disinterested, and frequently went off on one of his endless lectures that was not at all related to the clinic. He even said he got bored attending horsemanship clinics put on by other trainers. We did get a nice lunch, though. After two months, I was a few thousand dollars poorer, and not at all sure my horse had improved or learned much. I left with the belief that Evan is totally burned out with horse training, and would rather be spending his time with his new interest of becoming a ferrier. Carrie his wife, however, is very pleasant and accommodating. And, the facility is a good place for boarding. The horses are fed good quality alfalfa, there are automatic watering devices, the stalls are cleaned daily, there is a nice wash rack area, there is daily turnout in large areas, and the facilities are very clean. In all, the horses are very well kept.

    I'll admit I was skeptical when I first heard there was an actual farm in Seattle. Land here is…read morescarce and expensive. But lo and behold - there really is one! Seattle Farm is a privately owned 20-acre property, and I'm pretty sure it's the only farm within city limits. The place is beautifully maintained and feels like a hidden gem. No cows or chickens, but there are plenty of horses. We came during pumpkin season and paid $25, which covered both parking and admission. Big parking lot, easy access. At the barn you'll find several horses, and feeding them hay was a hit for both kids and adults. The darker horse was especially affectionate - kept rubbing its head against us, super sweet. You can also pay extra for horse/pony rides; they are all calm, well-trained, and come in various sizes. There's a food area with picnic tables where you can grab hotdogs and drinks. The pumpkin selection isn't as large as farms farther out, but still enough. It's great to see a place like this still operating in the city, and it's definitely worth supporting to help keep it going. I think they also host private events like birthday parties and weddings, and offer dedicated horseback-riding lessons - you'll need to call for details. Awesome family-friendly spot. We'll definitely be back next year!

    Great event space, had a corporate event here and Army and Lisa were great hosts! Will definitely…read morebe back.
