    Beautiful Pristine Barn. Stacy and Dave are truly the best . They run a beautiful barn. The…read moreproperty is so gorgeous. The horses are all so happy on happy trail road. Horses are so cared for here. Plenty of turn outs. Really nice cleaned fresh stalls. Great people here. Riding rings are so clean with lights for night ride . These guys are always on a tractor maintaining this beautiful place . Great borders everyone is helpful and so nice. Beautiful rings with lights on if you want to ride. Tack rooms have plenty of room so clean inside. Wash areas are lovley. Breakfast lunch and dinner so spoiled here . Lots of trails and hills to explore. Lots of training for you and your horse. I highly recommend this magical place. Thank you for the opportunity to live this dream . I just love being here . Love all the dogs and horses .

    Pros - Nice clean barn with good-sized stalls for the horses. They offer outdoor pipe corrals that…read moreare partially covered and they have large in and outs in the barn. They have two arenas, one fenced, one not, and one round pen. They have lights in the fenced arena. They offer two types of hay, Bermuda and Alfalfa which is pretty good quality. They take good care of the property and the owners are nice. They also have big turnouts for the horses which are really well maintained and bigger than what you see at other barns in the area. The property is really beautiful too, great views and access to loads of trails at Happy Camp Park. Cons - this isn't a barn for nighttime riders as it is very, very dark. They have lights up at the main barn and one light for the parking lot, but it's pretty dark. I had a little trouble getting the groom to consistently feed my horse properly, which is one of the reasons I left. The arenas have considerable downtime when it rains too which puts a real damper on Winter training. The prices for boarding there are really high and are comparable with a show barn that offers far more amenities than VDM offers - too high for what you get in my opinion. They also have several dogs running free - which can really freak out the horses sometimes (but if your horse is used to that, it's pretty fun for the dogs). They are great if you want to ride on the trails and during the day and if you aren't a stickler about your horse being fed exactly as you ask all the time. All the boarders are nice and the property is quite beautiful...it just depends what you are looking for.

    My daughter rides at Fieldstone and the training is first rate. Just as important, the community of…read moreriders, owners and parents actually care about each other. People support each other's growth and success. Finally, this place cares about the animals. With a mix of high performance horses and older, more calm and experienced lesson horses, there's something for everyone and the animal ethic is paramount.

    Well, I thought it would go well at this place for my daughter but yet again, another riding school…read morelet down. Erika (the hired trainer) had my daughter do a private evaluation lesson. When it was over she said for my daughter to come again next week for another private evaluation lesson. She said the owner, Michelle, would be there and would watch my daughter and decide which class to put her in. We got there and Michelle was nowhere to be found and two other kids were in my daughters "private evaluation lesson." So, it was a waste of our time and money because there was no evaluation and it wasn't private. Even so, I was hoping this place would work out. Erika was busy when the lesson was over but I texted her right away to see which classes they have available for my daughter. All the text got was a thumbs up. I didn't want to bother her and figured she would text me with class days and times soon. Well, it took her 6 days to text me back. She said to come again for another evaluation lesson the next day. I don't know why a place needs 3 evaluation lessons. We have been to many ranches and one lesson has sufficed. I guess they wanted to make extra money for less time. Erika seems to think we have nothing to do but sit around and wait for her text. I didn't answer her text until the next day and told her she could have texted me sooner as my daughter has a life besides this place. I also asked if she was going to refund some of our money that we are entitled to because my daughter did not have a private evaluation lesson the week before. Erika accidently sent me the text that she was obviously planning to send to Michelle. It said and I quote, "Can I tell her to fuck off please" Wow, really nice. We did nothing wrong here. What a horrible way to do business. If they would have kept things they way they should have been they would have another customer and most likely a leaser or boarder. Instead, this trashy Erika wanted to tell me to fuck off. I honestly don't know what all the good reviews are about. Probably friends of Michelle and Erika's.

    My husband surprised me with our first-ever horseback riding experience here last week, and I…read moregenuinely could not have imagined a better introduction. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm and welcoming. Our guide, Sienna, was incredibly thorough in walking us through the basics and made sure we felt comfortable before heading out. As total beginners, safety was my biggest concern; but she has such a steady, reassuring energy that we felt confident the entire ride. The trail itself was breathtaking. Rolling Malibu mountains, wide open skies, and those views that make you stop mid-sentence. Sienna even paused at the most scenic spots to help us take photos, which I really appreciated. The horses had different personalities, I got a very calm horse and my husband's horse kept stopping along the way to snack on the bushes :) It was funny but I'm glad Sienna chose an easier one for me. Overall the whole experience felt thoughtfully run from start to finish. Small tip: You'll lose cell reception on the drive in and out of the mountains, so make sure you have your next destination's address saved or mapped ahead of time. If you're considering trying horseback riding, especially for the first time, this is such a special place to do it. We're already planning our return!

    FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AND RIDE!! Isabella was our guide (she…read moreis the first picture) let me just say AMAZING!! my daughter is a novice and so were the other 2 in our group of 4. Being an equestrian I appreciated the way she explained everything to us all. I LOVE that you can sign a waiver to not have to wear a helmet!! Isabella is extremely sweet and informative, she made the ride SO much fun. When we come back for a sunset ride, I will be making sure we come on a day she is working. YES!! she is that GREAT!! The trail is a fun ride, surrounded by beautiful flowers and gorgeous views!! The horses were well taken care of and enjoyed their job!! NOT your typical rental "trail" horse, that wants to get back ASAP!! I rode Bismarck and my daughter Ace! they were delightful. We got to tip them in carrots which was fun. Isabella took TONS of pictures for us!! did i say how sweet and calm she is?! made everything perfect. I HIGHLY recommend High Horse Malibu!! see you again soon!! ps be sure to tip your guide after your ride they deserve it!!
