JB Ranch, what a fantastic place to learn about horses. I had a few lessons there and then attended…read moreHorse Camp. It was everything and MORE than I had anticipated. A truly great experience. I volunteered at a horse rescue for a couple of years and became familiar with being around horses. However, I was never taught how to tack a horse or to ride. Jerry teaches Western with neck rein training. He told me that by the end of camp I would know how to tack / untack a horse and that I would be able to ride and control a horse. He was right!!! I learned everything he taught me and more! I am so grateful for my experience at JB Ranch. His horses are very well taken care of, very well. He and his team are responsible, informative, and provide appropriate training for all levels of riders. One of the main focuses is about being safe around the horses and when riding. The trail rides are extensive and enjoyable. If you want to really learn how to ride, this place is it. Jerry's place is, by FAR, the best ranch I have been to. I highly recommend it and hope that you look into it too. Check out Jerry's bio here: http://jbranch.com/whoisjerrybestpitch.html A remarkable man who I am honored to have been trained by.

When you come in, you can bypass the line to get in and just drive through the cars because they already have the parking included in the ride. We did a 1 hour ride at first and the horses are super fun and nice. The workers are super friendly and they are very knowledgeable. The second time we booked a 2hr session and we learned how to groom and saddle the horse for an hour and then the second hour we rode around the ranch. It is really pretty during sunset. Highly recommend this place! I would definitely come back again. Also, 1hr rides are free for military/veterans. But don't forget to tip!

I received a call at 9 pm notifying me that she hadn't eaten her breakfast that day and wasn't looking well. When I arrived there, med kit in tow, it was obvious she was in an extreme amount of pain and had been down rolling for hours. I tried in vain to save her but had to make the choice to put her down by 8 am the next morning. I should have been notified HOURS earlier of her condition but, unfortunately, this lack of care had become commonplace after new management took over. No one even called me to see how she was doing after I trailered her off to the vet at midnight. The staff only found out what happened when my mom went to pick up my belongings. Stalls were often not cleaned, employees were known to fist fight on premises, my truck was damaged by an employees dog, personal items would go missing and so on. Most of the time I couldn't even find a responsible person to voice my complaints to because the new owner was always at the track. I should have sued them for negligence but I had just lost my younger brother two months earlier and the grief was just too much to handle. I simply didn't have any fight left in me. I was left with a $2,000 vet bill and my poor Abby died an excruciating death that most likely could have been prevented had I known earlier. I wouldn't board a stick horse here. STAY AWAY!!
