I think even if it's your first time ridding you can go there. This place is your people at all levels. Even if you need to board your horse you can go there and you can be with them anytime you want. These horses are loved by everyone even if the horse isn't theirs. One of the horses at my barn sadly passed away and we all got pictures of her and covered her stall with them. We love all the ponies/horses there and we will love them no matter what. I love this place and I thing you will t

I witnessed horses being abused in "training" at Solstice Farms. For ex, the so-called "trainer"…read more repeatedly and violently yanked on a horse's mouth one day, which is obviously counter-productive for training dressage horse. The old saying, "Abuse begins where knowledge ends," is applicable here. I was there when a horse put his eye out in his stall. The stable owner (Marie Morgan) did not ensure that the stalls were safe. Another horse died, but I do not know the circumstances surrounding that occurrence. When my horse got scraped up in her stall, the owner could not have cared less, and seemed more annoyed that I was concerned about my horse's welfare. One evening, I went to check on my horse, and Ms. Morgan threatened to call the police on me for "trespass," even though I was a paying boarder. One day, Ms. Morgan decided to put rocks in the barn aisle, which could have caused stone bruises. She left them there for months. Another act of high strangeness was when she put stalls in the covered dressage arena - an arena that was supposed to be available to boarders for riding. When I asked how long they were going to be there, she informed me that I had to leave her barn (a breach of contract). I would not recommend boarding or training at Solstice Farms. I do not think it is a safe environment for horse or rider.

This was my first time here and I've never ridden a horse in my life so I was a little nervous…read moreabout riding a horse by myself. I was extremely nervous that my horse might be startled by something and take off or even worse, get on its hind legs and cause me to fall off. Fortunately, none of that happened. All of their horses seem highly trained and well-behaved. It also helped seeing young kids on the horses by themselves. The Adventure Trail Rides are great for almost everyone. Beginners, experienced riders, young kids, and seniors. I've seen kids as young as 5-10 years old (I'm not great at guessing kids' ages) all the way to super seniors adults. Based on your reservation and check-in details, they will match you up with a suitable horse that matches your height and experience level. Most of the staff are friendly and very helpful. For the most part, they made me feel really safe. I also like their system of operation. After checking in at the barn, you select your helmet. Then when it's time, they call you up and introduce you to your horse. Before the trail ride, a staff member will provide you with a brief lesson on how to maneuver the horse and ride safely. After that, they really give you complete control of your horse. The trails offer plenty of shaded areas, which is great for those of us who prefer to avoid the sun's harsh rays. Gotta keep those wrinkles at bay! Lots of parking and parking is free. I had an amazing experience and plan to return so my super senior mom can finally try riding a horse. My only minor complaint is that I didn't receive the appropriate care and training that my friends did because my trainer is deaf. While I understand that he has communication limitations, he was not very friendly or patient. Perhaps management could assign another person to check in on him if they pair him with a beginner or simply just pair him with an experienced rider. I was quite nervous and if I weren't for my friend who is experience in riding, I would have been much more anxious. Note: You MUST wear denim jeans to ride and reservation is required. Reserve online on their website.

I missed the exit to turn into to get to the ranch, I may have missed the sign on the road, but my GPS eventually got me there, lol Upon arrival there's plenty of parking. The email has super specific instructions for your arrival. Including arriving 30 minutes before your ride time. I got there about 20 minutes beforehand and that was plenty of time. If you come with a group belive entire party has to be present to check in together. $68 bucks for a group ride rate per person. If you miss the email or forget all of the steps just look for the check in desk and they will go over everything. You must wear a helmet to ride, for your protection. And they offer free bandanas to protect your hair (and for sanitary reasons) from the helmet, that was nice. They match up the horse with each individual, I think based on height and weight. That takes about 15 min to get everyone matched and saddled up for the ride. The trail is covered by trees in the forrest, but it's still hot out in the elements, so be sure to hydrate before and after. Pro's -Quality time to get to know your horse before and after the ride - zero riding experience required, but does help -staff for most part friendly, willing to take pics for you in and off the horse - children, and special needs folks are welcome Cons - possible emergencies will cut your ride short - riding instruction only given to the front of the large group not the back - ride may not start on time, so give yourself extra cushion time if you make time sensitive plans after. Tip not required, bur encouraged. Overall a fun experience. But may do a private ride in future to get more detailed and intimate instructions. Enjoy!
