You can tailor your horse's diet the way you want (with choices of alfalfa, grass hay, and oat hay) and they will even supplement your horse (you provide) with no charge. My horse was out in pasture right and they limit the # of horses to 8 in the 7 acre field. They also have free trailer parking (although the parking lot gets VERY crowded during the weekends). The three stars are from the following negatives: snobby boarders. Amazing how just a few people can ruin your experience. Just because my horse is in pasture and yours looks like Malibu Barbie's horse protected from head to toe in blankets doesn't mean that I'm lower on the totem pole. The road going up to the ranch will DESTROY the shocks on your car. It's also very narrow and I have gotten my 3/4 ton truck STUCK on the side when I was letting a huge trailer pass by (they had to pull it out with a tractor). No back shoes on horses in pasture. I endurance ride, I need shoes.

Kim replied quickly to my text, and we were able to set up the ride that same afternoon. The ranch…read moreis tucked into a small valley with quick access to the highway and Moss Beach, so it was easy to find but felt quiet and peaceful once we arrived. We were paired with two beautiful horses, including an enormous draft horse named Buck. Kim, the trainer, was warm, welcoming, and clearly loves her horses. She guided us through the foothills and into cool forest trails, where we even stopped to visit other horses along the way. Ashley the 2nd trainer joined us on the ride, and she was kind, supportive, and helped make the experience even more enjoyable. The entire afternoon far exceeded my expectations. From the breathtaking scenery to the comfort and confidence we felt with the horses, it was unforgettable. I highly recommend Moss Beach Ranch if you're looking for a truly unique and memorable riding adventure.

They are truly kind people who know who to work with kids who need a little extra help. We also loved our horses Whiskey and Blackjack! It was a great day.

Company no-showed 2x in one day!…read more We had a 12 pm horse ride confirmed with several reminders via texts and email. Our party showed up 30 minutes before the expect time, as instructed. There was no one there. I called the company. Brenda answered. I stated that our party is at the gate and waiting for a member or further instructions. She insisted that there was no booking for 12 pm. I had several confirmations, including an email. I had a difficult time trying to explain this as she kept insisting that there was no booking . I could not get a word in. When i tried to state my case, I was told that I was interrupting and was persistent about the booking mistake as though we were at fault. She gave us the option of rebooking. Since we were from out of town and had driven a distance, we said that 2 pm same-day would be okay. And that we would be back. She recommended a couple of areas to see, which we appreciated. We came back before 2 pm. No one was there. Called 3x, left voicemails, sent an email, sent a text. No answer until perhaps 2:45 pm with a text stating that a text-notification was sent. When I reviewed the text, it stated that we can reschedule or get a refund. However, it made no reference to what needed to be rescheduled: the 12 pm reservation (which was already rescheduled) or the 2 pm reservation. There was no further explanation. No apology for a second same-day cancellation. I understand if an emergency situation arises. But the least they could do was communicate BOTH of the cancellations better and more clearly. Answering phone calls would have also been a good business model. Several calls, voicemail, an email, texts from a customer only to be deflected. The owner needs to take accountability. I do not appreciate the gaslighting.

We love this place! My daughter has been taking lessons here for a few months and I couldn't say…read moreenough nice things about this place. Diane and my daughter's instructor Kailey have been such a huge part of my daughter's healing and happiness. I do believe that horses provide therapy and this has seriously been life-changing for my daughter. In the short amount of time, she has learned so much about riding, horsemanship, and has a real passion to keep learning and going far in the sport. I haven't seen her so passionate about anything like this in a long time. They really take the time necessary to train each person on every aspect of horses and horse riding. It's beautiful to watch and I love having my daughter come home and tell me all of the things that she's learning. It's hard work but the feeling of accomplishment is like nothing you can imagine. I have seen several of the instructors and every single one of them is very positive and uplifting and I am not used to that because in the past when we have been around riding instructors, I have noticed that there has been a lot of negativity. Not at Sun Valley equestrian - it's all about positive energy and loving what you do. I just can't thank them enough for the impact they are making in my daughters life.

I board my gelding at Sun Valley Equestrian and couldn't be happier. There is a wonderful arena to…read moreride in with beautiful scenery surrounding you. I've seen many riding academies and Sun Valley is one of the best out there. They have several different trainers to bring out the best in you and your horse. They are able to cater to beginning riders as well as advanced riders for lessons, schooling shows, etc. Their students are taught all aspects of horsemanship so they understand safety as well as a bond with the horse they are riding. The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to give a helping hand if you need it. The trainers are highly skilled and each have their own specialty. There is a multitude of knowledge and years of experience in this barn. The owner, Diane, is a great business woman who cares about her staff, students, horses and her boarders. This is a rare thing to find. Her business is truly an equestrian family!

I've been boarding and riding at Ciara West for over a year. Ciara West has a great barn manager,…read moreSteven. He is incredibly engaged in making Ciara West run well and comfortably for horses and people alike. The facilities include an indoor arena, an outdoor dressage court, and a round pen. There are several small trails for general exercise around the property. You can keep your horse in a box stall with turnout, in a solo paddock with cover, or full time paddock. Ciara West feeds real deal hay three times a day. There are three bathrooms one in the upper and two in the lower barn. The weather at along skyline is typically not so hot as down in the valley. The view at sunset of the ocean is spectacular. Finally, there are trainers available across multiple disciplines. And the community of equestrians is welcome and friendly.

If anything appeared different, Jennifer would contact me to let me know that there was a change. Most boarding facilities don't do that. Both Johnny and Jennifer are very nice people and that's who you want to care for your horses. The only reason we moved was to be closer to my house otherwise we would still be there. Most of the boarders have been there a long time. I recommend this facility for boarding your horse.

We just finished another week at Lazy H, yes during summer 2020…read more Children were outdoors the entire time and since there's really no indoor space for them (except the portable bathrooms) and a LOT of outside space to roam I felt comfortable with their COVID preparation. My daughter had a great time! We first went 2 years ago and she was matched with Billy, a sweet pony. This year she was matched with Ranger, a horse who once used to barrel race. I'm not sure what that means but my daughter was excited to tell me this every day. So grateful I randomly discovered Lazy H years ago and looking forward to bringing my daughter and son (he will finally be old enough) next year. Thank you Breen and Emma!

So I never write reviews. But after my experience yesterday, I just need to put the good word out…read morethere about how great this place is. I signed up for a semi-private lesson for my anniversary with my girlfriend, who is someone with lifelong horse riding experience- pony club, wall of ribbons, the whole 9 yards. And then there's me who didn't know what a bridle was until I got to the ranch. Immediately upon arrival, we were greeted by Breen with a smile. He asked a few questions about our experience, and instantly had just the perfect horses in mind for the both of us. We got to brush the horses before heading into the riding arena. My learning experience far exceeded my expectations. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about horse riding, and I walked away from Lazy "H" Ranch with such tangible experience in the basics of proper horsemanship. Everything was straight forward, to the point, productive all the while being a fun and soothing experience from start to finish.
