I asked for her to switch my lesson time but never heard back. So I asked for my money back and text the owners daughter as well. Trish said she would get back to me on it but never did . Reached out another 3 times and after sending me really unprofessional and rude text messages, Trish refused to give me back my payment. Montana refused to respond as well. Trish even sent me a screenshot showing proof she did receive the money from me . Made a dispute with my bank to get my money back. This academy is a lot of drama. Very disrespectful and rude people. It clearly shows in the reviews that Trish has a history of keeping clients payments without returning services in exchange or returning refunds .

I contacted Lynn because I wanted to get instruction and have a positive trail experience with an expert. Lynn exceeded my expectations! My own horse is boarded at another stable, so I was matched with a safe and experienced trail horse belonging to Lynn's assistant. My lessons started with a short introduction to my horse in the arena followed by a short trail ride. Subsequent lessons took us farther into the trail system. Lynn knows the trails like the back of her hand and chose trails that challenged me but did not overface me. She freely shares her extensive knowledge about trail riding technique, trail etiquette, and safety. We saw lots of beautiful scenery. Encounters with deer, mountain bikes, hikers, courting peacocks, squealing children in trees, and joggers with mylar balloons all came off without incident, thanks to Lynn and Star, the perfect trail horse. Lynn offers private instruction, group lessons, and horse care. I had a great experience and recommend Strand Training Center without reservation!

The other trainers are all awesome as well as I have been watching them all while I am here once a week. My daughter also did the summer camp and had a blast.

BEWARE -- when the pony pees, it is a strong and long stream that bounces high off the ground and onto your child...WITHOUT WARNING. So have your child stay several feet away from the rear of a pony , unless your child wants a face splash. Otherwise the young one loved the pony ride which lasted 3-4 minutes (2 laps). Kids can choose between a slow walk to a trot on the pony....usually older kids would choose the trot and younger ones would like to ride on a walking pony. It is nice to experience once but We would not go again.

I could not feel more at home and happier here. Lauren, the head trainer and owner, is very knowledgable and KIND. She cares about every single horse and wants every rider to succeed. The barn is a fun atmosphere where everyone supports one another and safety is stressed. There are novice to experienced riders here, some with horses and some without! In addition to assisting with lessons, I take weekly lessons with Lauren. Her lessons are always challenging and educational. She uses a variety of exercises to build confidence and ability in rider and horse. Most lessons are privates, but for more advanced riders she does offer group lessons to encourage riders to learn from one another. Le Cheval Riding Academy is located at Peacock Hill Equestrian Center inside Irvine Regional Park. Inside the center, Lauren has her own beautiful private arena that overlooks the peaceful canyon. All the horses are closely watched and maintained.

Extremely Disappointed - Unprofessional, Unethical, and Unresponsive!…read more I'm writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with Nohl Ranch Saddle club; previously known as Anaheim Hills Saddle Club. After paying $2000 upfront, I was only there for two days before deciding to leave for another ranch due to the owner's rude, racist and unprofessional behavior. On my second day, the owner spoke to me in a disrespectful and condescending manner, making me feel entirely unwelcome. When I decided to leave, I requested my $2000 back, as I had barely utilized their services. Shockingly, they refused to issue a refund. Left with no other option, I took the matter to court. The judge ruled fully in my favor, yet despite the legal decision, they have failed to respond or return my money. This shows a blatant disregard for both their customers and the law. I strongly advise anyone considering this club to be aware of their unethical business practices. My experience has been deeply frustrating, from the poor treatment I received to the lack of accountability and professionalism in resolving the situation. Additionally, I did my research and found a large history of extremely horrendous behavior from the owners, management and staff. I posted in an Orange County Equestrian Facebook Forum and had an overwhelming 40+ individuals reach out with horrid stories from boarding here. Boarders beware! Avoid this place at all costs!
