Water break!
Tori M.

100000% will be back! Our guide Terry was so amazing and made us feel welcome on our trip! This was a very last minute and spontaneous adventure and honestly am so glad the universe led us here! Upon check-in we were greeted by a lovely lady at the boutique and the cutest pup! Then we headed to the trail spot which is only a few minutes down the road. We met with our guide Terry, who was so knowledgeable, personable, and welcoming! This was my first time riding a horse and I did not feel nervous at all! Victor and Traveler took care of the two of us and they were delightful horses! I can confidently say that this tour and the experience, made me want to ride horses again in the near future! We chose the Dunes path, and it was about a 45 minute ride toward some sand dunes overlooking the ocean. Absolutely beautiful! Definitely recommend to wear pants, and if you're petite like me, maybe even some butt pads, but regardless it was wonderful chatting it up with our guide and soaking in the beautiful path. We took the 3:30pm slot and it was an enjoyable ride, slightly chilly though so you may want to bring a jacket just incase.

We visited Bodega Bay for spring break and originally had plans to go on a whale watching tour, but they had to cancel due to the weather conditions for boats. We started looking up things to do and came across Horse N Around. We reached out via their website Saturday night, and we're able to take a trail ride in the dunes Monday morning. Check-in was prompt and friendly. Our guide was prompt, friendly, and great with their guidance and awesome with children as well. We were so glad we were able to arrange this on short notice and will definitely be back again the next time we are in the area.

Beach ride was perfect and amazingly beautiful

Hands down best beach ride and staff!!! Will definitely always go with them for horse riding when I visit bodega bay!!!

We had such a wonderful and peaceful time on our ride with Jaxson. The weather was just perfect and our guide was fantastic. Very down to earth and made the experience very enjoyable. Our horses Pickles and Luke were very gentle. The ride was so scenic! We've spent so much time in this area and this was a new experience for us. Would highly recommend! We did the 90 minute ride. Sarah Beth made us feel right at home answering any questions we had leading up to our ride and as we were checking in. Thank you for an awesome experience!

Shirley Shirley Shirley! She was a phenomenal lead for our 90 minute ride - much of it on the beach! It was easy to make our reservation with clear direction to meeting location. The horses so sweet!! Luke & Chief were ours! Our favorite part of our anniversary trip! Horseback ride on the beach? Yes please! Do it! (Tip your guide!!)

Brought the family out for a quick outing. They have a few different trails to choose from. My kids opted for the "Trapping Trail". It was a slow ride around the huge ranch property that took around an hour. Our reservations were for 1pm but the ride didn't start until after 2pm. There was no rush and we just hung out looking at some of the horses and talking to the ranch workers who were really nice. Kids need to use their special helmets (no extra charge). They wouldn't allow bike helmets. The place is right off of Highway 1. Look for a big sign. The phone GPS might give you a different entrance. Booked online with a credit card reservation 72 hrs in advance. Check websites for discounts. Can't nobody tell me nuthin'....

A truly incredible experience I had the honor of riding Shorty, a calm and gentle ride. The entire experience was very much worth the drive and time. The Dunes and Beach trail was spectacular. Highly recommend this business, you can see how they care for their horses as well as their customers. Special Thanks to Addie Our guide Who made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. We look forward to coming back soon.

Absolutely the best place for a nice ride, either on the beach or whatever trail ride you choose. I had my granddaughter so needed to do the fish pond for her but the staff is always so nice and accommodating and they make your ride exactly what you want it to be. We had the pleasure of riding with Shirley and her dog, Merle, and it was amazing. Merle was a hoot, playing tug of war with the tree branches and running ahead to make sure there was no danger lurking ahead. I was sad to hear about the wreck they recently had with their horse trailer (through no fault of their own) and glad all the horses are doing okay but very upset that people don't pay more attention to what they are doing. I have ridden the beach ride with Sarahbeth as well and know she is a very sweet girl and I wish her the best and hope she gets her trailer replaced very soon. I would highly recommend this as your "go to" place for a great ride whenever you are in this area.

My partner and I had decided to stay up in his parents' quaint little house just a few weeks ago in Bodega Bay as a quick getaway. As we were looking at the map of the surrounding area, I noticed that there was an equestrian trail right nearby, and I decided to see if there were any horseback rides that could be worth the price. We happened to be so lucky when we came across Horse N Around trail rides. Shirley was our trail guide, and she is an excellent host who is great company! I spent a long time working with horses on our family rescue/ranch, so I know how to ride horses well. My partner has only been out riding a few times, so I was worried that we might not find something suitable for both of us, although I was wrong! Shirley made sure to ensure our comfort while also allowing us to have a lot of fun on this ride, not like your classic nose-to-tail trail experience. We had booked a private ride on the beach, and I'm so grateful that we did because it was some of the most beautiful scenery that I've ridden through. All said and done, I know exactly where to go each time I come out to Bodega Bay for a beautiful riding experience. This company knows what they're doing, takes excellent care of their horses, and ensures that the riders are happy with their experiences. Thanks so much for having us, and we will be back soon!

I had such a blast and great experience with this company today! I had booked this a few weeks back and they responded within an hour of my online inquiry. I made the mistake of booking for the wrong day and they were so sweet about helping me correct it. The check in process once there was quick and easy. Once we got to the trailhead, the instructor, Ashley introduced us to our horses and took us on the Dunes Trail. We are beginners so this was perfect for us. Ashley was awesome, she made sure we were comfortable and taught the basic commands. She kept checking back while riding and let us take a stop for pictures on the horses. She really seemed to love her job and be happy to be there which made it even better. I'll definitely be back here.

We just had our first ride with Horse and Around, and are more than happy with our experience! 1. Everybody was very nice all along; we reserved online via their website (super user-friendly), and even got a phone call from Sarahbeth just a few days prior to our reservation date to confirm and see if we had any questions. 2. The variety of trail options is great; we chose the Cheney Creek trail, and loved every minute of it. The scenery was gorgeous! 3. The horses look healthy and well fed, which is always great to see. 4. Lastly, we arrived a bit late and were feeling really bad about it, yet staff members remained patient and did not rush us, and we still got our full 90 minute ride, which we greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Hannah, for her kindness and patience, as well as our wonderful horses, Jaxon and Frank. We will definitely be back to check out the beach trail!

Excellent, kind, and professional all the way around. We had some delay due to rain storms but wasn't by much. It was great to see the care taken about the safety of the horses and rider. We completely understood this as they are working with people, live animals, and weather which all have a mind of its own. I cannot stress the importance enough to not pack your day so tight you don't have wiggle room. The last thing you should do is push to tack a horse in questionable weather conditions. Also keep in mind these are working animals not a house pet. Our guide Shirley was excellent and so was Sarabeth at check in. I can honestly say we had an excellent time, and our expectations were beyond exceeded. We will definitely be back, and are so glad we decided to check out Horse N Around.

Cynthia L.

My friend and I did the 90 minute beach ride. It was my first time on a horse and we were both a little nervous. Amber was an amazing guide. She was friendly and took the time to explain everything to us so we would be comfortable. The process was smooth from checking in and paying, driving to the trailhead, and getting set up on the horse. I would definitely go again and highly recommend! My horse was Luke

Whats the youngest a rider can be? Even if riding with parents?

There is no double riding permitted, it is unsafe. We take kiddos as young as 6 years old on our trails!

We have been camping on the Russian River. I've been fishing with my son for a couple days and I…read morecan't catch anything. So maybe I have to come to terms with the fact that I am bad at fishing. Anyways I thought we could stack the deck and come here. It was a beautiful day and the lady at the store seemed welcoming and helpful. The facilities are nice and seemed clean. You could enjoy the picnic tables and make a day of it with older kids. We fished from 10:00 (opening) until 12:15 when my kids lost all patience. We tried a few different spinners. Then we bought worms per her recommendation, then even bought powerbait. Anyways we couldn't catch anything. She said they had just stocked the pond this morning. You could even see the fish jumping which made it more frustrating. I will say though in the two hours we were there, maybe 15 poles were in the water. During that time frame not a single person hooked a fish. So, hopefully it's not just my problem. I felt bad for the guy next to me. He had his grandson with him and he had driven 3 hours to try to manufacture a good fishing experience for the little guy. So, if you have similar ideas, please be warned there is no guarantee here. It's $10 per person to enter. We had our own poles. The worms were $8 and the powerbait was $7.50. From what I could gather, catching a fish is around $20.

And just like that, we found ourselves back at Hageman Ranch for another peaceful and memorable…read morefishing trip. It's quickly becoming one of our favorite family spots. My son was absolutely thrilled--he managed to catch another beautiful golden trout, just like last time! The excitement on his face was priceless, but what made it even more special was the little surprise that followed. After his catch, they handed him another coupon for a free entrance on our next visit, which made him even more eager to come back again. There's something about this place that makes family bonding feel so natural and meaningful. From the calm surroundings to the shared excitement of fishing, it creates moments that really stay with you. Watching my son enjoy every second, celebrating his catch, and already looking forward to the next trip--it just makes the whole experience even more worthwhile. It's truly a wonderful spot for families, and we'll definitely keep coming back for more of these special memories.

We had a great horseback riding experience! Things went pretty smoothly with booking (we called to…read morereserve), parking, and even adjusting when we were running late. My partner and I did a private Eagle View ride, and on our horseback riding hike, a couple of the staff members chatted with us while guiding us along the trail. My partner was hoping that they'd share a little more about horses or the trail, but I didn't mind so much. The staff also helped us take photos. When we got back, the staff let us hang out with the other horses past our hour, and I think we stayed for another 20 minutes brushing horse manes and taking pictures.

Five Brooks is the riding stables that provides a variety of group or private guided horseback rides, with a view of the ocean and includes rides along Salmon Creek or on the beach ! We choose the Picnic private ride along Salmon Creek which included a up hill majestic overlook ride where hawks and Ospreys were, and a duck pond where Herons and Egrets were seen, all beautiful and natural landscapes. We lucked out as it was a cloudless day with 7 mph winds as this area can be more windy and foggy. Andrea our guide was super helpful, friendly, accommodating and so easy to ride with, explaining the personalities of our horses. They help you mount and dismount, fit you to the saddle and encourage you to pet and talk to your horse. We rode up hill and down and the horses were very fit and in good health and eager to trot up the hill! I weigh 207 lbs and my horse Cody was not lazy underneath me a they have horses that will accommodate larger people. The views were spectacular and the trotting was fun. After our ride we came back to the ranch stables for a picnic on a park like table in a meadow that was tasty deli sandwiches, chips, Gatorade and some Snickerdoodle cookies, we brought our own wine which is allowed. It was a great ride, nice pace and the horses were fantastic, easy to ride, steer, and very easy going but energetic and not tired as they can be in public riding stables. Next time I go back I want to do the beach ride! Everything went well overall, the only minor hick up was my triple E width boots were too wide for the stir ups but they just moved them to a sideways position and adjusted the length and was fine. Leave earlier than GPS says as it takes longer on rural roads to give yourself time and there are speed bumps on the entrance road to the Ranch, so it's a slow approach. Cowboy Up!

I absolutely recommend Cloverleaf Ranch to any family considering horseback lessons for themselves…read moreor their children. We've been at their ranch since September 2024, and every single staff member we've encountered (including office, groundskeeping, and instructional staff) has presented themselves with the utmost professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm. They've taught our boys how to ride and care for horses in a safe and skilled manner, all while exhibiting patience, dignity, and grace. They are friendly and welcoming at all times, and I feel no hesitation to trust our instructors with the safety of my children. The safety of their students and horses are of primary concern here--as it should be. I must offer an extra special thank you to Mia and Izzy, who have always made it their goal to teach my kids everything they possibly can about riding and equestrian care. It has been a blessing and a joy to work with them, and we love them both dearly! Thank you, ladies, for your dedicated work, and for always bringing upbeat smiles, wisdom, and positive attitudes to your students. I'd be remiss if I didn't also give honorable mention to Carley, who is not our instructor, but who is often on the training grounds during our appointment time. She makes us feel welcome, and goes out of her way to be friendly and encouraging while we are there. Thank you, Cloverleaf. Your pursuit of excellence in your craft has been of great benefit to our family. Keep up the good work!
