Coincidntally, the owner came out as I was taking a picture of their sign... I inquied about their rates which came out to be $120 for five Riding Lessons ($24 hr for those that are arithmetically challenged). The owner said it would come out to more than an hour per lesson as the Rider has to Saddle the Horse as well as groom it after Riding. I, myself, probably will not take advantage of Epona Farms as I hadn't rode a Horse in twenty years... but my kids will have something else to keep themselves busy when visiting the Lodi area.

--- Cowboy Trail…read moreRides - Tracy, CA I grew up riding horses, but it's been years since I've had regular access to them, so paid trail rides are my way to get back in the saddle once in a while. A few years ago, I went on a trail ride with another company in Fair Oaks, CA, and honestly, it was such a letdown. So this time, I wanted to find a place that would actually meet my expectations--and wow, did I ever find it with Cowboy Trail Rides in Tracy! Our group of nine (ages 12 to 67!) had a mix of total beginners and experienced riders. Lucas, the owner, made sure each of us got the right horse for our comfort and skill level. He really puts safety first but still makes sure everyone has fun. The two-hour ride was amazing! We went through open fields, past orchards, tall corn rows, and along peaceful water canals. The scenery was beautiful, and everyone had a great time. Some of us walked, some trotted--Lucas made sure everyone could ride at their own pace. He chatted with us the whole way, shared fun facts about the horses, and kept a close eye on everyone to make sure we were comfortable. All of the horses were super well-trained (Lucas trains them himself), and you can tell how much he cares about them. He even took a bunch of photos and videos for us, which was such a nice touch. By the end of the ride, we were already planning our next one--maybe a birthday trail ride! Lucas mentioned he also does weekday and evening rides (one even includes a Starbucks stop!) and overnight camping are in the works. Honestly, the whole experience was everything I hoped for and more. Lucas goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a safe, fun, and memorable time. We tipped him for his awesome hospitality, and of course, the horses got their carrots! If you're thinking about going on a trail ride, I can't recommend Cowboy Trail Rides enough. We had so much fun and made great memories. We'll definitely be back!

It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. It was also a miraculous gift to my 73-year-old friend Lisa. She has been completely blind since an auto accident on the way to a horse show in 1969. She was only 16 years old and in training for the 1972 Olympics in dressage. This ride was her first since that day. Laura is incredibly compassionate and an absolute expert with horses. She is exceptionally safety conscious. She set Lisa up with a gentle horse named Mama, and at Lisa's request, Laura led mama from a few horse lengths away. The experience was amazing and Laura made it possible. I cannot recommend her and Trails of 49 highly enough. Laura is also a great historian. My mother's family has been in Calaveras County since the 1850s. While I live 300 miles away now, it's good to know that the history, horses, and land is so well cared for by such an exceptional person. I was born in Calaveras County and will be buried there, and I'm glad Laura is taking care of it in the meantime!

She knew all the horses personally and could read them like a book. She also took pictures of us along the way and air dropped them to us at the end of our trip which was a huge plus. The place was easy to find, plenty of parking, and the instructions for riding you receive ahead of time (as long as you follow them) are perfect. I do recommend a hat or sunscreen. The trail ride is beautiful, the lake even more so. This experience was an anniversary gift to my wife because she loves horses and grew up with them and this was the perfect gift. I rode on Hercules and my wife on Rango, the cute inseparable duo. Hercules had me laughing throughout the ride and definitely has a mind of his own and a stomach as much as I tried to keep him from snacking along the way. I highly recommend the trail ride, we had a blast and will definitely be doing it again in the future. Cheers!
