I went on a trail ride with Laura along with my cousin and two friends on March 27, 2026. We range…read morein age from mid 50s to mid 70s. I had not been on a horse in 45 years. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. It was also a miraculous gift to my 73-year-old friend Lisa. She has been completely blind since an auto accident on the way to a horse show in 1969. She was only 16 years old and in training for the 1972 Olympics in dressage. This ride was her first since that day. Laura is incredibly compassionate and an absolute expert with horses. She is exceptionally safety conscious. She set Lisa up with a gentle horse named Mama, and at Lisa's request, Laura led mama from a few horse lengths away. The experience was amazing and Laura made it possible. I cannot recommend her and Trails of 49 highly enough. Laura is also a great historian. My mother's family has been in Calaveras County since the 1850s. While I live 300 miles away now, it's good to know that the history, horses, and land is so well cared for by such an exceptional person. I was born in Calaveras County and will be buried there, and I'm glad Laura is taking care of it in the meantime!

There were several horseback riding options much closer to us than Dreamor Ranch. This ranch is…read moreabout an hour and a half from us but we knew it was 100% worth traveling a bit further to reach. Their reputation for being incredibly friendly, responsive and laid back was the main draw. They're so great at tailoring the experience to who is going to be riding. I brought along my 10-year-old daughter and they had the perfect size horse prepared for her (Lucky!) and the child sized stirrups, saddle, and helmet. Billy was so helpful, friendly and fun. The trail itself is so gorgeous and beginner friendly. It was a long ride and we actually got a little sore toward the end, toward the 2 hour mark, but absolutely worth getting so much time to ride and enjoy! We will 100% be back!

My wife is a highly skilled rider and she was thrilled with how well-trained the horses were and the wonderful experience we had a Dreamor. I am not a skilled rider and Billy gave me riding tips and instruction on our ride to improve my skills. It was a long ride and a wonderful time. Thank you very much and we hope to visit you again in the future.

I had a camping trip to Yosemite National Park planned in September and knew I wanted to propose to my Fiancé while on the trip and didn't know exactly how I would plan this. We are avid outdoor/hikers and love horses. When I found Yosemite Trails Horseback Adventures, I knew that this was the PERFECT place for me to propose to the love of my life. I wasn't quite sure how the proposal would go down to begin with, but Cami and the entire team made the experience unbelievable. I felt like part of the family and cannot thank them enough. They scouted out various different locations along the route for the spot prior to my arrival and communicated with me every step of the way. Jolene found the location on the trail, and was our guide. We did a private trial ride as I wanted the experience to be intimate. Jolene was INCREDIBLE and we cannot thank her enough. She was an expert guide and made the entire experience a memory we will never forget. Jolene took pictures for us and planned the entire proposal location, she was fantastic in every regard. The horses were beautiful and looked extremely well taken care off and loved. The trail ride itself was the best we have been on, and we have done quite a few. It was beautiful, fun going through the creeks and riding up/down the mountainsides. We cannot thank Cami, Jolene and the entire Yosemite Trails Horseback Adventure Team for the memory and experience of a lifetime, and we cannot wait to do it again!

My wife and I were staying at the "Tiny House" on the estate of Saluti Cellars in Somerset. Feeling adventurous on our 18th anniversary, we booked a two-hour "River Run" with Saluti Horse Adventures. This was my wife's FIRST time on horse, and she was very nervous, but owners David and Brenda was exceedingly friendly and accommodating to this. Among their countless well-trained horses, they personally selected the best possible horse, "Blackjack," for my wife, and by the end of the ride my wife was hugging and snuggling with Blackjack as if they'd been old friends for years. The ride itself was easy and and very scenic, and David told adventurous stories throughout. In the middle of the ride, at the river, we got off our horses and watered them, and the ride back took us near the beautiful Saluti vineyard. We wholeheartedly recommend Saluti Horse Adventures, and we can't wait to book another ride with them soon!
