    We had a perfect day at Diamond Head. The ranch is about 99 acres of amazing scenery, and…read morelandscape, and Jim made it really come alive with the help of his wonderful and powerful horses we rode (Mojo, Jerry, Trump and Rocky), and of course, T-Bone the dog - always looking our for us along the ride. Four of us were ranging from beginner to semi-experienced riders and Jim made it easy for us, and the river trail with the gorgeous valley views was awesome. A big thank you to you, Jim, for your "Stetson" advice ! We'll be back for a longer ride soon, even though the 1 hour ride turned out to run a little longer...we were in no hurry and all five seemed to enjoy each other's company. Magic.

    I was up the ridiculously scenic Squamish Valley and stumbled across the ranch with these beautiful…read morehorses and ponies. I like exploring and thought I'd check out the "Trail Rides" sign. Jim and Vinny were super chill and up for heading out to the river. They asked me if I'd ridden horses before. Which, I have, half a dozen times or so. They saddled up Shade for me and off we went. :D He tried to walk into some low branches at first to test me! Lol. But, fortunately I'm intelligent and experienced enough to know you can steer a horse. After that he was pretty good. We crossed 2 small arms of the river, turquoise water! Then came out to see the river valley like something out of a wizard book! So coool! Mountains and waterfalls, forest and river! Very surreal. It was sometimes a narrow forest trail with some reasonably shallow crossings. Shade did try to test me again. So, having confidence and at least a bit of practical experience riding smart horses in varied terrain made it fun and exciting. If you are a super beginner, it may not be for you. But, anyone who loves amazing scenery and actually knows how to ride a horse would have the time of their life for sure! So close to the city, yet felt a world away. Thanks Jim, Vinny, Shade and T-Bone! (The coolest cowboy dog ever) see you again soon! Rich.

    I have boarded my horse at West Brooke Equestrian for 5 years. Excellent care, no mud, turnout on…read moregrass & 3 feedings per day. Very satisfied with the lesson program & training. Highly recommended!

    For the amount of money you spend on monthly lessons your not really getting a great value. The…read morelesson horses are decent, but the structure and communication between the teacher's is the worst I've ever seen they don't know who's coming or going or what your child has learned from the previous lessons. Always a different person rotating- pretty annoying actually. You don't get what you pay for in the hourly lesson rates for it hardly ever is one hour total. Minus well take your child to a pony ride walk around in circles for they don't keep track very well. The ring is always over booked and crowded. Nice it's covered- the stalls are good size but man those poor horses living in such tiny muddy paddocks it's not a very great place to keep your animal long term. The lesson horses are of decent quality as well. You would think with the owner's experience they would be able to manage a establishment much more successful. Don't think their too concerned with their riders advancing at a steady pace. The trainers will be texting while doing a lesson not even paying attention sometimes. Personally if there was another place to take your money from my experience go somewhere that is more invested in structure and advancement
