I took my 8 year old daughter to Fiddlestix for a Sunday afternoon trail ride (not the wine tour…read moreone). We are both novices and they put us on chill horses. We encountered chickens and kittens which my daughter loved. On the ride we came across monarch butterflies, beautiful views and wild cherries. The terrain was rolling hill like with several picture worthy viewpoints. The paths were a mix of gravel and grass. Sarah was a fantastic and easy going hostess. Denny was a wonderful guide, very patient with my daughter and made sure she was comfortable by teaching her some basics and working in the barn before setting out on the trail. We will go back!

Pushing the excitement level and challenge of what one would expect to the next level! Crossing the river and being deep in the Oregon's natural forested beauty, I cannot say enough good things about the ranch and the pride they take in their animals and the people that come to visit. Thank you very much for the opportunity to allow us to feel like we were real seasoned riders, and giving us time to connect with the horses and the nature that surrounds us. Cannot imagine how you could do it better? Family owned and operated for several generations, they have a wealth of knowledge about the land and its history.

There aren't enough positive words in the English language to praise Eric and his barn. The first…read moretime I walked into the barn, it felt like "home". Eric is the trainer and what an awesome one at that! He is kind, funny, encouraging and SO knowledgeable! He doesn't make your head spin with technical jargon. Everything is broken down so even the most nervous inexperienced rider would be able to understand what he is trying to convey in a lesson. From children to advanced adults, all you see are happy faces when people are in the arena with Eric. Myself included! I've had many a lesson with a handful of trainers. Eric is by far one of the easiest to relate to. Down to earth comes to mind. The facilities are wonderful. The patrons I have met all seem welcoming and pleasant. The lesson horses are great too! I am looking forward to continuing my riding education at the Chase. My next lesson can't come soon enough!

Safe to say I've fallen in love with riding thanks to The Chase! Very excited for my future lessons and would highly recommend them. Oh and there's a really sweet and adorable Black Labrador, Can't forget her!

She gives challenging exercises that are strength building and fun. She gives great directions for correcting and clearly has been doing this for a while. The school horses are very good too.

I had my first experience and intake with Kimberlee and Shannon and Jewel the horse. It was great…read more Jewel was in a pasture/barn she hasn't been in before so she was a little distracted by the new dry grass to eat but it's ok. I get it and it's not Jewels fault and it was the intake session. I still got to interact with her and Kimberlee and Shannon were fantastic. I already have a psychologist I see monthly since my TBI, but this is different with the horses and a new therapist and I don't mind adding tools to my toolbox to help me be my beat self and I grew up around horse and had one as a kid so this is great for me! I appreciate Kimberlee and Shannon's experience and I loved learning that Shannon get me as she too is a TBI survivor so that felt good and right, made Forward Stride feel like that much better of an experience. One session down and can't wait for many more!

We had to bring this up to her multiple times and she said she would take care of it and then when we tried to call her after a few days for and update just to find out each of our phone numbers got blocked.

We booked online, paid the deposit, showed up, were embarrassed and unfcomfortable due to the rudeness of the woman who led the ride. The horses were not very well-behaved, and the pictures the lead took for us - since she admonished us many times not to bring our own phones for pics, were terrible. The worst part was that they charged us $240 extra and never refunded it, despite mutliple attempts. We actually had to pretend to be new customers to even get a return phone call. Worst horseback riding experience I have ever had. Do not recommend.
