Certain members of the board of directors exclude people who have differing opinions on how the property should be run.

Love this place. From the moment we stepped on about 7 years ago. My daughter rode with KT and Greg…read morefor five years and they are like family. In fact, in the time that we were there we witnessed many kids taking to greg and KT like family. Kids grow up there, not only learning to ride and love horses but also learning responsibility, good horsemanship, kindness, volunteerism. It's the whole package there. We have since moved to another state but RBR is where my daughter goes first when we go back to LA to visit. They will always be family. Actually, we often marvel at KT's disposition - patience of a saint, so relaxed and chill. Always quick to smile and laugh. Can we all be more like KT?

This is a nice shaded trail for those hot summer days…read more One way to access this trail is on the northwest corner of Foothill Blvd. and Oak Grove. You can park at Hahamongna Watershed Park, but make sure you get you car out of there by the time the sun goes down or you'll probably be towed. Don't park at La Canada High School either unless you have a permit. It's mainly a horse trail at this entrance so there's a lot of loose dirt similar to Horse Trail Lane. See my review on that one. The length of the trail is approximately 2.16 miles and most of it borders the residential area. You can also access the trail via the Arroyo Seco Trail which basically goes along the Watershed Park from JPL to the north and then Devil's Gate Dam to the south. You can also access the Gabrielino Trail on the east side of the wash and head northeast past JPL. Just watch out for people playing Frisbee golf. I almost got hit in the head and got yelled at when I picked it up. I would highly recommend this trail if you are trying to stay in the shade and you don't forget to get your car out by sundown.

I am NOT world-class, nor elite, but I've been guided forward at my own pace with support and joy. It's hard to start something like riding as an adult, but they made safe, easy and fun. So fun. And I'm deeply in love with the horse I get to ride. There's a bit of a waiting list to get in, but it's totally worth it!

I just got back into horse back riding after a 10 year break, and it was so wonderful to have a…read morechance to get back in the saddle at Sagebrook farms! I went into it feeling somewhat intimidated since it's been so long since I've ridden, but I had a really empowering and wonderful experience for my first lesson (shout out to Courtney, who gave me lots of praise while also giving me great instruction)! Sagebrook farms is very professional with the most beautiful horses, but it's also casual in friendliness and you can have any goal ranging from casual riding to competing. My goal is to lease a horse one day for casual riding, and they take it seriously and help me achieve it! If you're wanting to learn about horse care, they also were open about me coming early or staying later to watch the tacking & grooming process and help out, which is a great opportunity to spend time with horses after lessons! There is one review here that mentions difficulty with communication, and out of about 10 riding instructors, I only got answers from about 3, so it's not just Sagebrook Farms. People who take care of horses often are out all day where there's minimal Wi-Fi, and they only get a chance to get online in sparse spurts or not until 10pm when they're at home after long days. If it's your first lesson, be prepared for about a week or two before you can nail down a lesson, especially during summer months when there's horse camps going on. I can't wait to continue my lessons here!
