From Monica, to Claudia to Farmer Sunny, everyone was so helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome. We purchased tickets thru Groupon which included $15 to use towards activities on the farm and you can always purchase more tickets onsite. Our group did a lil of everything , petting zoo, archery, maze, pumpkin decorating, pony riding. They have a small food court with 2-3 food vendors. The lady with the tacos and pupusas is so nice and friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. The hot dogs are yummy with an amazing snap to them. There was a small family business selling fresh sourdough as well so we had to pick some up. Yes the bathrooms are port a potties but they are clean. Internet is choppy as expected up on a mountain and actually forced everyone to be present and enjoy time together rather than being on our phones posting. It's a cute lil farm and it was such a great time. Thank you for having us!

Never has my nervous system been as calm as when I got the chance to consistently be around horses.

Overall working with the animals and Michael has helped me attain much confidence in my abilities. Hopefully I'll come back in the near future.

I decided to write a review regarding the horseback riding lessons at this wonderful stable and I…read moremust say, it has been an incredible experience for my daughter Delilah. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcome and at ease. The instructor, Laura, was knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain everything in detail and ensuring that my daughter feels comfortable before getting on the horse. The horses themselves were well-trained and gentle, making it easy for a beginner like my daughter to learn the basics of riding. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with a spacious arena for practicing different exercises and techniques. Throughout the lessons in these past 6 months we have see the improvement and how she is gaining confidence with each ride. Laura provides helpful feedback and guidance, pushing Delilah to challenge herself and try new things. Overall, I highly recommend taking horseback riding lessons at this stable. I read a recent review left by someone claiming that the staff here are not kind or welcoming to minorities. This has never been the case for us as we are Mexican. So that statement is far from being true. I highly recommend this place to all who are looking to start horseback riding. My daughter is 14 and looks forward to her classes with Laura and her favorite horse, Skylar. Thank you so much! Best, Delilah's parents

This is a great riding center. Trainer Laura is amazing and she is so great with the students. She is patient and really teaches. All the school horses are are great and very well taken care of.. They teach/train all levels, from beginners to advanced. My daughter's riding has improved so much since starting here and she loves it. The pricing is very reasonable and I think you get so much more vs other riding schools/centers we've been too. All the staff is attentive and courteous. The barn area is always clean and organized. There are quite a few riding schools in the area and we checked them out. I am so happy we landed here. We love FFF!

The lessons include caring for the horses, safety, how to approach a horse, anatomy of a horse, how to properly put on and take off the saddles, different types of hay and more. Each lesson is different and my kids are learning something new each time. They look forward to their lessons each week and love spending time with the horses. I bring my toddler as well, and although he's too young to ride the horses, he loves walking around the ranch and saying hello to all of the animals. We love Clear Compass Equestrian so much, we brought our Girl Scout troop here. Amy put together a customized lesson for our troop based on badge requirements and the girls really enjoyed it. They learned about the two different styles of riding, English and Western, caring for the horses, they got to each brush a horse and then they learned to clean a horse stall. I really love the emphasis on safety and care, not just for the riders, but also for the horses. My children are learning so much more than just riding a horse.
