Absolutely amazing experience! From the beginning to the very end every moment was an adventure I…read morewill cherish for years to come. Our tour guide Mark couldn't have been more kind, patient and helpful. He made excellent choices matching our group to their appropriate horse for riding. Based on our weight and height our horses were Chili, Boogie, and Izzy! Such sweet babies they were. Chili loved to snack on the vines, but was easily redirected to get back on track. If you're too nervous to take photos while on the trail, DON'T WORRY because MARK is sweet enough to do that for you! If you love wine, highly recommend to purchase the package with the wine tasting (to be enjoyed after your ride) because the wine from DANZA SOL WINERY was THE BEST WINE I had all weekend. Looking forward to returning to this beautiful ranch!

5 stars all round…read more This horseback tour is amazing, not only do you get to ride horses through the vineyards you also get a voucher to go next door (Danza Sol winery) and sample 6 wines of your choice. The horseback tour is amazing. You arrive get your paperwork situated and they match you with your horse based off height. All the horses are just so kind. Our tour guy Mark was amazing, talked to us about the venue, the grapevine, took pictures throughout the tour and sent us all the pictures he took as well. Felt safe while riding with our tour guide. The horses do like to sneak in a few pecks off the vines and some more than others...lol but it's manageable. It doesnt look like your high up, but once you saddle up you realize the height, but the more you ride the more comfortable you get on your horse. I loved it. The weather was amazing. All the staff were friendly and professional. Had an over all great ride. We were celebrating my sister birthday and we couldn't have had a better experience and time with our horses and Mark our tour guy. The ride is pretty lengthy but its nice and you get what you pay for. Make sure to bring pants, closed toe shoes and sunglasses. After your ride you can give the horses some cookies, which they love and look forward to it. I enjoyed that part as well. There's only a port-a-potty on sight that I saw. So technically there is a restroom on sight, but we all know how stinky those are. So go before you arrive or the winery next door has restrooms that are much more ample. Definitely worth every penny. Would highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to enjoy and good time riding as well as some good wine afterwards.

Omgahhh this was so needed!!! The only thing I really was surprised about was the trail, it's kind…read moreof like a neighborhood one. It's still a great ride on these Magestic animals, couldn't be too disappointed because I truly wanted to jus ride. It's been so long, since I was a teen since I've been on a horse and my heart needed this. I've always wanted a stable full of horses, hey, a girl can dream. I'm so mad bc I cannot remember our trail guide but she has been working there only for eight months as of 4/18/26. She was the best and easy to talk too. We loved all the horses! I got to ride Ranger and he was so hungry during our trail ride. Had me thinking, do thy feed them lol but I just let him do his thing and she did as well. We all just let the horses eat and chill too while taking the trail ride. We wanted them to enjoy themselves too! My man rode Mega and he's huge! Also, he's their youngest horse and I cannot remember the name of the other horse but I did ask their ages. Many horses live around forty years and Mega was seven, Ranger was 15 and the horse guiding us was 20. It was such a nice day to ride. Don't come here having to use the bathroom lol. My one complaint about the trail is their lack of cleaning it! There was a toilet that has been there on the trail a while, I'm not sure if someone dumped some fish eggs on the trail, there was a little patch that they need to clean asap! They're probably just use to it and might not notice but there and lots of flies over it and I'm not sure why someone wouldn't want to take pride in the trail. I'm hoping this review will help them get there. There are so many things to make this experience even more beautiful and memorable. Thanks for the ride!

He explained everything without making me feel clueless, and somehow made it feel like we were just hanging out instead of being on my first trail ride. The ride through the vineyards was SO pretty and peaceful. It honestly felt like I was in a movie. David also stopped to take a ton of photos for us, which I appreciated because I could actually stay in the moment without worrying about getting the perfect picture. If you've been debating booking this, just do it. It's such a fun experience whether you've ridden before or not, and I'd 100% go back.

My husband and I were very interested in this venue for our wedding on August 14, 2027, and were…read moreexcited to schedule a tour of the property. Unfortunately, after multiple attempts to communicate with the coordinator Tracey and set up an appointment, we were completely ghosted with little to no follow-up. Planning a wedding is already stressful, and communication is one of the most important parts of the process. The lack of professionalism and responsiveness ultimately led us to decide not to move forward with this venue. It's disappointing because the property appeared to have potential, but reliable communication and professionalism matter just as much as the venue itself. Hopefully future couples have a better experience. Didn't want to even give it a 1 star rating but had to in order to leave a review.

We didn't ask for any sort of private tour but that's how it worked out for us. As a horseback tour guide myself, I love a real horsewoman like TJ . She got us all sorted and matched to our horses just as I would've myself and kept the riding tips short, sweet, and funny for my intermediate-experienced friends. (Horse girls are sometimes framed as overbearing and have a tendency to pack an attitude) - but not these instructors. Our guide was Jeff, a real cowboy this guy. Jeff was top tier entertainment and we thank him for taking all the girly photo requests! The horses were all beautiful, loved, and responded so well to our experience levels. This was my first time ever paying for a horseback riding tour and I think I was very lucky to have ended up at Saddle Up with Tj & Jeff. Thank you guys so much and we will be back! *photo below of jeff's photo skills & the beefy cute mustang they paired me with

It was our first time doing a horse trail ride and the best one yet! I believe Alex was our guide. He was very accommodating and very fun to be with. He kept a good steady pace for us in the beginning then let us go for a full gallop at the end. I absolutely loved this experience and hope to come back soon with the hubs again! Alex was incredibly patient with us and even took a photo for us at the hill. Thank you Rancho Bravo and Alex for a wonderful ride and experience! :)

It is THE best way to see this area, in my opinion! For those concerned about social distancing, Western Skies offers small private tours. My ride was for myself and my immediate family. Their tours are up to 4 guests only at this time. I am lucky to have come across Western Skies Horseback Riding through family and friends on Facebook. At the moment, they're available on instagram @westernskieshorsebackriding and Facebook. I immediately reached out to them on FB and Kristen responded promptly. She is so helpful and welcoming. For the first time rider, we chose an hour tour and Kristen *and Scott, guided us attentively throughout the entire ride with their expertise and encouragement. They offer one hour or two hour rides. Initially I wanted the ride closer to sunset, but it worked out anyway even with an earlier time. We got lucky with the beautiful clouds and breeze. Either time you choose, I'd give some leeway on time (an additional 15-30 min or so to consider, in case the ride doesn't end precisely on the hour. I didn't realize it until afterwards, and I'm so thankful, but Kristen didn't rush our ride back and our tour was a little bit longer than I expected. What a treat!!! Kristen went above and beyond for us!!! She and her staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. Hospitality is exceptional and so sweet. Thank you for the perfect afternoon. FYI, there are safety concerns so age/weight may be a factor to consider for comfort during this activity. For instance, anyone under 18 yrs must wear (their) helmet provided. Weather is also a factor, so if it's too hot, be wary of hydration and comfort, but luckily, we had amazing blue skies and a breezy day. They kindly offered us water when we arrived, as well. Kristen suggests jeans/long pants and boots/close-toed shoes. My family took me there for my birthday and it is the best birthday I've had (in such a long time), thanks to Kristen and her beautiful horses. My family and I are very inexperienced riders (son is a teenager), as we've only ridden horses a handful of times while on vacations. My family and I felt comfortable immediately. Her horses are so docile and mannerisms are so gentle. Kristen even allows guests to ride around their corral to ensure rider is more confident, before hitting the trail. There are small slopes and dirt/pavement along the ride. Our ride had the most beautiful scenery, with some unique sightseeing landmarks, so you'll really enjoy the views. She and her staff took photos for us along the entire ride. I didn't anticipate that, so I did take my phone out on occasion, and it still allowed me to enjoy the experience and be present in the moment. Next time, I know I can disconnect entirely though because they capture wonderful photos for me to have (they will airdrop to you if it's an iPhone) I won't reveal too much, as this is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, but I hope my notes help and offer suggestions to explore this beautiful area. Great family excursion, or even a romantic date idea! I have not seen my boys laugh so much and enjoy an activity together like this! Maybe we are going stir crazy from the quarantine, I don't know, but I can't imagine a more memorable way to spend an afternoon. Side note: It is such a fun workout! I didn't realize this, but if you plan this excursion, and not always athletic, keep in mind to keep your activities mellow after your ride. We loved the entire experience, and will do this again, definitely. We do feel a little tender and sore, similar to how I feel after a very long bike ride, but it just lets us know another way to enjoy a fantastic workout. Thank you again very much, Kristen. It was so great to meet you and your family. We hope to see you again soon.

Absolutely wonderful horses that were completely well-behaved, gentle and still could do more than just walked if asked. The scenery and landscape was to die for. Thank you Kristen for giving me and my family the best time EVER!!!!!

I have known the owner, Tanya, for a number of years now. I first met her back in 2006. I was a…read morefreshman in high school and I have always loved horses, and I finally talked my mom into looking into getting one. I found her facility online and my mom and I set up a time to come see the place. After looking into the costs of food, board, and other expenses, my mom came to the conclusion that she simply couldn't afford it. When Tanya heard this, she offered to let me come by to help groom and exercise some of her horses. In exchange for helping with their care, I also got to ride in the arena with her trainer. Sometimes I would ride along in the "Gator" that she uses to get across her property quickly, and sometimes helped with little things, like cleaning and filling water buckets or helping to feed. I am honestly thankful for these opportunity to learn what it's really like to own and care for a horse. Tanya provides a unique opportunity to any child that would like to learn about horses. I am now out of high school and just moved back after doing a couple of years of college in Colorado, and I am back working with Tanya and her herd again. I've only been back about a month, but I can personally say that all of her animals still look great. In addition to the horses, she also has Emus, Alpacas, monkeys, wallabies, peacocks, and more. I have never seen her skip a feeding, and she pays me well to do all of the cleaning. Her animals mean a great deal to her, and I have even seen her fire employees for mistreating her animals. Aside from all the animals, she also has some great amenities, such as a covered arena, a barn, 2 tack rooms, jumps of all different heights, barrels, wash areas, stalls with runs, pastures, and more. Tanya has a great facility, whether you're looking to board, or just wanting to see some unusual animals, you won't be disappointed! :)
