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!

Erin (and her assistant Katie) are awesome -- best instructors for kids (really individuals of all…read moreages). Erin clearly knows her stuff! She is an accomplished rider herself which doesn't always necessarily translate into being a great instructor, but in Erin's case, she is not only a talented rider, but also instructor. My 6 year old daughter absolutely loves her (and Katie) and counts the days until her next lesson! They have helped nurture a passion for horses. Erin really takes her time and is so genuine! She teaches horsemanship, not just riding which I think is so important. I have been around horses my whole life and have trained with countless instructors when I was younger. Finding the right instructor for my daughter was important to me. I wanted her to be able to build a relationship with her instructor as well as the horse. You don't get this at a lot of lesson facilities, especially for beginner riders. A lot of barns feel cold and very business like -- you get on the horse, you ride for 25-30 minutes and then go home -- not with Erin and Katie. I have never felt rushed. It is a totally different experience riding at her facility -- it is fun, educational, safe, and my daughter has gotten so much out of her lessons in just 6 months. I feel so lucky that a friend referred us (Her daughter goes to school with my daughter and was riding with Erin). As another reviewer pointed out, Erin is so gentle, yet not afraid to push a little in a good way. She has given my daughter so much confidence. My daughter has made so much progress thanks to All the Kings Horses. It is a whole family experience visiting Erin's ranch in Calistoga -- even my 4 year old has a blast! And we have all fallen in love with Erin's lesson ponies/horses! I can't say enough about All the King's Horses.

Review #132 - 2020…read more I've always wanted to take my 4-year old daughter out on a horseback riding adventure, but every place that I've looked into has an age requirement of 8 and up. Sadly, we'd have to wait another 4 years in order for her to enjoy that experience. Luckily, I saw Triple C Ranch's ad pop on my Facebook page for their kids's horseback riding summer camp so I dug in a little deeper to see where they were located and what the age requirement was. I sent Cianna a message on July 6th and she responded almost immediately. We went back and forth on what would work for my daughter and I and we decided to schedule our adventure for Thursday, July 9th at 4 PM. I decided to ask my 11-year old and my 15-year old nieces to see if they would be interested in coming along and they were super excited! The day came and GPS showed that we would arrive at 3:15 PM so I immediately sent Cianna a message asking her if it was ok if we showed up early. She was super sweet & accommodating and agreed to meet us at 3:30 PM. Sadly, because I wasn't familiar with the area and I had no cell reception, we didn't show up until 3:45 PM. So much for GPS! When we arrived, Cianna was still assisting her other customer so I didn't feel too bad for showing up late. From the first moment that we showed up to the last moment before we left, the girls were super excited. My daughter and my 11-year old niece took turns riding on Jake, while my 15-year old niece and I took turns riding on Tanner. Being that it was our first time on a horseback ride, I was kind of scared because Tanner is huge! Cianna made us feel super safe and comfortable! She gave each of the girls a fitted helmet, while I didn't need one since I'm over 18. Being that it was so hot, Cianna gave us the option to ride in the indoor arena. Yay!! We got to ride for 15 minutes each, but my daughter didn't want to get off. I originally wanted to do the half hour ride for each of us, but I was afraid it would be too long and my daughter would be scared so I thought 15 minutes was safer. The girls couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had and how nice Cianna was the whole drive back home. They're already asking me when we can come back again...these kids are definitely spoiled! If it wasn't such a far drive for us, I'd be coming once a month, but we'll have to see when I'm willing to make the drive back out again ;) My older brother & younger sister also said they're interested, so we'll have an even bigger group next time we return. Thank you, Cianna, for opening up your stable for us to enjoy!!

Crysta is amazing! I really appreciated her approach to teaching and horses…read more It was easy to schedule riding lessons with her, and she was quick to respond when I reached out. I don't have my own horse, and I'm basically a beginning rider. She paired me with her horse, Bubbles, who is lovely. Crysta asked what I'd like to work on and we went from there. We focused a lot on getting in tune with my body and the horses movements - it really made a difference over just a few lessons. She was patient, positive, and explained why we need to do what we do as riders. We also worked on basic horsemanship and a little groundwork, which was new to me and so fun. Overall, my experience was wonderful and I walked away with a better understanding of horses and riding. I wish I lived closer so I could take lessons from her regularly!

She is very elegant and very nice to ride in. I will highly recommend Sara but you do have to work. You have to groom the horse you ride.
