I wanted to go horseback riding for my birthday. I found Stillwater Ranch by searching for trail…read morerides. I am so happy I did. This place was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The owners, Barbara and Dalton were so nice and down to earth, They are true animal lovers just like we are. They have over 20 horse, 3 dogs, 2 mules and they offer it all. This isn't your 1 hour trail ride up a dirt road and back. This ride is 3 to 4 hours long, through trees, down what looks like animal trails in the woods, you criss cross through the woods and clear cuts in the Skykomish River Valley then you head up mountain to this amazing lookout and have lunch. I rode a wonderful gelding named Bernie. Bernie's a Missouri Fox Trotter and he was super sweet. Chris rode Comet, she's a Tennessee Walker. Chris said she floated. You can see for miles up on "the rock". When you look down into the valley and see just how far you have ridden, you are amazed. Dalton said it is probably 5 miles. The lunch is amazing, it's from the Sultan Bakery and it is one of the best lunches I've had. Sitting up on the rock just me, Chris, and Dalton was so relaxing. We became instant friends. Stillwater Ranch offers a variety of rides that include river rafting, fishing, moonlight rides, overnight camping and much, much more. You can ride in all seasons - We are looking forward to a winter ride when the valley is covered in snow. They are even starting a wine dinner ride - woo hoo. The next time we need an equestrian fix, we will look to Stillwater Ranch to supply it.

The horses were ready when we arrived and we learned their back stories and personalities before getting in the saddle. The ride was beautiful and the perfect way to spend a morning. Debbie shared local history and kindly guided us through the woods. My oldest was ecstatic to be on a "a regular size" horse as the lessons she has taken always had her on ponies. My 4 YO safely rode in front of me. I can't say enough good things. My almost 7 YO called it "the best birthday present ever!" And I have no doubt we'll be back for another ride.

Trail clearing of fallen trees that block access to the trail system. As you can see in the pictures it's not just some leisurely ride into the cascade mountains, it was work. But it was good work. Like a great CrossFit workout. Cutting these trees is all done with a hand saw, because you cannot use any gas or electrical equipment in the wilderness. In conjunction with the U.S. Forest service these trails get cleared and opened up for all hikers to enjoy. So if you're ever out there on these trails take time to think about how they got cleared of the trees you walk through when you see those cut logs laying there. And if you ever see the trail clearers thank them for what they do. Three peaks outfitters offer's day rides, overnighters and other great adventures including sleigh rides in the winter, providing there is snow.....

I loved that we got on the horses right away. Once on horses that were somewhat aligned with our experience levels and nervousness (I wasn't nervous and got a sassier horse haha), they gave us a brief intro to how to control the horse. Then we were off pretty quickly! The guides spread out throughout our trail group and kept an eye on us. We stayed as a group and they checked in when needed. The views were incredible- we rode right along the river and it was so beautiful. After the ride, we got to feed and brush our horses, and even got to meet some cows and baby horses! It is so lovely to see how happy all the animals are here and how well taken care of they are. Such a special experience!

Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxing, memorable horseback riding experience. Thanks again, Peter and Skyland Ranch!

This review has been months overdue. We started about 6 months ago once a week lessons for my…read moredaughter. It's unfortunate that the owner Katie claims she has a world class facility and believes in strong values for young women yet that was not our experience. The ONLY reason I stayed this long was for my daughter-and how close and convenient it was to our home. There was a point where my children were sick and we needed a reschedule. I could not get ahold of the Instructor or anyone on this "farm" for 2 weeks. The fact we pay one month ahead and no contact did not sit well with me. Upon finally getting a text to schedule we returned and I did make a comment that I was not appreciative of no follow up. Katie approached me and let me know that she had no time to talk and that she and the instructor liked my daughter and that was the only reason we were "there". A jab at me I can take. I continued to go for my daughter no big deal. I did think it was unfortunate she approached me so hostile as if we were bothering her trying to reschedule for a month we paid for. Unprofessional either way. It's unfortunate that with all of the quotes on empowering women on your walls you act so catty. I suppose that's why she caters to teenagers because she cannot get along with adult women they are seen as a threat. Her sister continued to make comments about a stroller I had walking through the barn.. I had been there 6 months with that stroller and was just now hearing how I shouldn't walk through the barn with it pretty convenient catty behavior comes out full force when they cannot take feedback. As far as " world class facility " goes it is far from that. I've lived in multiple states and visited facilities such as Express Horsemanship in Yukon Ok that is world class. This is highly over emphasized term with this place. No heaters for horses no warm water the floor in the barn is barely held together or flat. The viewing room is dark damp and cold the sliding door barely opens correctly, roof leaks Mismatched roofing and poor lighting. The term working farm is also misused in this case. The female staff seem very intimidated by Katie although probably work perfect for her to boss around. This is absolutely backward and after speaking to a few horsemanship's in the surrounding cities that actually have heat and warm water / clean facilities for clients and horses ... I can see why I should not have settled for Deerfield because of location. If the Owner lived by her written values I could see this place thriving. It is a shame, because young women need great mentors and community. The reputation Deerfield has that I've seen and heard from other facilities/ horsemanship trainers ....is not standing to what their values state, the fact I've heard the same feedback and opinion from ACTUAL high class facilities backs why I need to write this review. THE fact that I have business and family connections to world champion reining coaches/trainers and horses such has the Flarida Family ( Shawn Flarida reining ) and Matt Mills/ Karen Mills ( Matt Mills Reining ) and have told them of her treatment of myself and daughter they could only shake their head and let me know I made a terrible decision going to that "place" And are happy we found better options. The facility has possible potential. The owner seems in my experience to be in a comfort zone of a high school bitter mentality and it's too bad. Check other facilities that will assist in great horsemanship and confidence for your young impressionable child.
