I took my 9-year son here and it was the highlight of our mini-vacation. It was absolutely amazing!! The horses are really gentle. The staff is excellent. Nancy was our guide and her family has lived in Sonoma for decades. She is a wonderful story teller and it was so much fun to hear her stories and see their beautiful grounds, which includes grapes, apple trees, and lovely metal artwork by Nancy's son. This is truly a very special experience and I highly recommend it to anyone! I felt very safe (I was nervous getting on a horse!) and honestly felt like I was part of the family when I was there. Prices are VERY reasonable! read more

Rollin F Ranch - Horseback Riding Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Such a lovely ride with wonderful people! My husband and I recently did a one hour ride. Booking was very easy. I called and Melissa was so helpful on the phone. She answered all my questions and got us a spot right away. The staff were friendly and accommodating and they did an excellent job of ensuring COVID safety precautions. We appreciated that! The horses were the sweetest and so cute! Felt comfortable the whole time! Loved seeing the landscape and art around the property. Very relaxing! Highly recommend! read more

If we could give this place 10 stars, we would!! There was not one time where we felt uncomfortable; Melissa is an awesome guide and so in tune with the horses and nature, that made our tour just beautiful! We got views of the mountains, the vineyard, the wildlife and the art work on the ranch! I took my shy 12 year old and she was awesome in interacting with him! Loved her energy and the realness of the connection. Thank you soooo much! We will be ba read more

Amazing! My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday as a surprise and it was a wonderful experience! The staff is super friendly and you can tell that they really love their animals and property! My favorite part was getting to meet the horses! They each have their own quirks and personalities, but are extremely docile and masterfully trained! We took an hour ride around the vineyard while learning more about the history of the place, looking at some handmade art, and overall enjoying the beautiful day. The ride was easy for the horse and relaxing for the rider! All COVID safety precautions were in place and there's even a wash station set up with everything that you might need! Huge bonus - they will take some pictures (and video) of you and your crew as you ride, which makes for some amazing candid photos! read more

Amazing ride with Nancy and Melissa. The great things about this place are as follows: 1- It's a woman owned local business. 2- They care deeply about their horses and make sure you are able to ride them safely. 3- You get a little mini lesson in horsemanship as you ride. It's MUCH more interactive than a typical trail ride. I felt like my horse, Blossom, actually responded to me (and my mistakes!) rather than the robotic, completely desensitized horses at some other places. 4- You get a really lovey tour of the vineyard. The trail is shaded and lovely. All in all I highly recommend this place. We loved it!!! read more

Loved our day with Rollin Ranch! The ride is through a beautiful family owner vineyard and ranch that has been in the family for generations. It is a private and intimate experience. The horses are clearly happy and very well taken care of! We were the 2nd day back since the ranch reopened during COVID and felt incredibly safe the entire time. We wore masks entering the property, were 6 ft apart the entire time, and were able to take off our masks once we were safely distanced during our ride. Nancy and Melissa were taking appropriate precautions in terms of cleaning and limiting groups who aren't in the same household. read more

If you're thinking of enjoying a nice horse ride down a beautiful trail with grapes, apples, plums I Highly recommend this place it was my first time ever and Nancy our trail guide was super attentive and very welcoming as well as Melissa and her husband !

We visited while in town for a Father's Day mini-break weekend. What a great find! Nancy is a fantastic guide and experience leader, Melissa was friendly and super helpful, and we absolutely loved the relaxed and happy horses. My 11-year-old son had never ridden before, and this was the best possible first horseback riding experience for him; Nancy and Melissa were encouraging, and his horse was very chill (but not half-asleep!). He had to learn as he went, and Nancy was a great teacher. The surprise for me was the content of the tour -- I was expecting to just have a nice horseback ride in a pretty area, but I was really impressed with Nancy's presentation of the history and context of the vineyard and other aspects of the property. It was conversational, informative, and fun. We definitely recommend this tour! read more

This is the best experience I've had during COVID. Due to the strict restrictions in CA, things to do in the bay area are very limited. We found Rollin F Ranch and made a reservation on their website very easily. Nancy welcomed us at the gate and showed us where to park. After we parked, Nancy introduced the horses to us. The horses were incredibly sweet and gentle (they loved being petted). The ride was beautiful and Nancy told us about the interesting projects and wildlife around the ranch. This was my boyfriend's first horseback riding experience and he loved it! It was a great experience and we can't wait to be back. read more

Rolling Ranch is a great opportunity to ride horses in Sonoma. Nancy and Melissa are great. Beautiful horses, healthy and well trained.

This was an awesome experience. Me and my wife enjoyed the ride very much. Nancy picked the right horses for us based on our non existing riding skills and made sure that we were comfortable and accommodated. Nancy's love for her animals is contagious. We have learned quite a bit about horses and loved every moment of our ride. Thank you Nancy and Rollin F Ranch We will definitely visit again! read more

We as a family went there on Sunday afternoon on our way back to the bay area after our thanksgiving trip. When we arrived there 30 minutes late, Nancy was already sitting at the entrance way waiting in her cowgirl hat. She smiled just like the warm winter sunshine and was very easy to talk with. Throughout the hour Nancy showed us the orange poisonous mushroom, the little creek, art works by her son, and vineyard. There was a lot of knowledge in the guided tour. My 7 year old and 12 year old handled their horse easily for the whole hour after the mini-course upfront. The horses are big but gentle and would never run, which I felt very safe. At the end, she surprised us with the extra treat: we got to feed the horses we rode on. The horses are beautiful and well taken care of, feeding them even showed us some individual personality of them. We really enjoyed the horse riding, and you won't go wrong with Nancy, the warm, kind, and genuine owner / guide. read more

Great ride with Nancy. Beautiful horses and very patient three kids riding for the first time. Melissa does fantastic with handling all of the details including photos and videos. Recommend for riders of all skills. read more

There's a lot of choice for horseback riding, and this place was seriously the best! Lovely family farm. The horses were all wonderful and run by experienced individuals. My kids (7/10) had a great time and it was lovely hearing about the property and family. Highly recommend for everyone and for families. Gorgeous location, relaxing and serene venue and beautiful ride. Will absolutely come back! read more

This was hands down one of the best trail rides I've ever been on! We were greeted by Melissa who showed us where to park and lead us to our horses. She and her mother in law Nancy were very kind and made sure that we fully understood how to steer and helped us to build a connection with each of our horses before getting on. All of the horses were very sweet and the trail ride itself went very smooth! We were able to see the vineyard, lush greenery, wine antiques, and even a red tailed hawk! The trail ride was equally enjoyable and informational and denfinently something that we look forward to doing it again sometime! read more

We absolutely LOVED our trail ride with Melissa and Nancy! It was a beautiful day spent with beautiful people and horses. If I could come back every weekend I would. Jewel was my horse, she was big, strong and so gorgeous, and she actually listened to my commands!! It's been 15+yrs since I had ridden but she understood me My husband was on Beau, it was a perfect fit! And Beau loves taking selfies as seen in the pics, he was hilarious and such a gentle giant! Our friend was on Jim (I think?) and had the same great experience we did with our horses. Don't miss out on this, the ranch is very impressive, lots of family history and Nancy explained everything along our ride, from the grapes, trees, etc. read more

Rollin F Ranch - Happy girls on a Fall afternoon ride. - Horseback Riding Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Best guided trail ride EVER. I've been riding all my life and of the many locations in many states I've tried guided rides, this is the best. These horses are SO well cared for, so lovely and truly safe for kids and new riders. I loved hearing the history of the property and enjoying the grazing deer, amazing art sculptures, majestic oaks, owl nests, and vines along the ride. Best of all, Nancy is lovely, down to earth, and easy to chat with. This was a vacation treat for me to go just me and a girlfriend, but I will definitely be back with my kids! If you truly love horses or you want to experience what horsemanship is all about, this is the place with heart and soul. Notice how Nancy really has a unique relationship with every horse, and brings out their wonderful gentle giant personalities. This is such an amazing way to slow down and connect with these amazing creatures, the gorgeous scenery, and dare I say, with yourself. read more

Nancy was so great!! The horses were the most well behaved horses I have ever been around. We really enjoyed hearing about the history of the property, wine making operations, and native animals of the area. We will recommend this place to all of our friends! read more

We went to Rollin F last week and had an excellent experience. Nancy was our guide and she was kind, calm, and interesting. Her family has been on the ranch for over 100 years and she had many interesting stories. I like this place because it is not a mill and it was a private ride with just our family. We were greeting with a smile and give a brief lesson. The ride was very easy and the views were awesome. The kids loved it! I highly recommend Nancy and Rollin F! read more

My daughter and I had a wonderful horseback ride. The owner really listened to me and gave me the right horse (total beginner). Parking was super easy. I would definitely recommend Rollin F Ranch! read more

This is the new spot in Sonoma County to ride horses. We decided to call this place last minute even though there wasn't any yelp reviews since this is a new establishment. We arrived about an hour before our appointment and the host, Nancy, was very accommodating. She let us take pictures with the horses and pet them while she set up. This was probably the best part since we got to bond with the horses. For the tour you go around her 38 acre property which includes vineyards and oak trees. If you want the full "Sonoma County" experience with the wine grapes and overall nature feel then this is it. They do take credit card so no need to bring cash except for the tip. Overall it was a good experience and I will come back in the future. read more

What a fun experience to add to a wine country getaway! Nancy's family has a long history in Sebastopol and she will share wonderful stories while riding through her property and vineyards. We even saw a family of deer! She will ask you about your weight and horse experience when you make a reservation so she can pair you with the right animal. It had been 20+ years since we rode horses and she paired us with Beau & Blu. Both were wonderful and mellow. She starts off with basic riding tips/commands and let's you get familiar with your horse before starting the ride. Her property is full of mature trees and plenty of shade so you don't have to worry about baking on a sunny day. Put the Rollin F Ranch on your list of things to do! You will also get photos texted to you after your ride! read more

This is a family run business that just does everything right. The horses are happy and loving.

My family and I had a wonderful trail ride at the Rollin Ranch! This was the first time that my kids (ages 7 and 10) had ridden a horse. Everyone was so patient and kind to them, allowing them to meet their horses and get comfortable before we started our trail ride. The horses are obviously very well trained and well loved - my horse, Ron, loved trying to sneak snacks on our ride. I would highly recommend the Rollin Ranch as a fun and reasonably safe family activity during this odd time where there's not much for families to do. read more

Fabulous trail ride! We arrived with a 15 year old who had never rider, a 7 year old who was not 100% confident.

Horses were beautiful, well-trained and delightful. A truly great and memorable experience. read more
