    We rode here for a birthday in 2024. I would not say these horses are for beginners - this was not…read morea safe or enjoyable ride. The horse I rode jumped from my leg brushing his belly, so I had to float my legs off his body the entire time. I'm not sure he was well enough to ride that day if his belly was that tender. The other horses did not get along and fought while on the trail. This led to one horse spooking/attacking another and caused my friend to fall. She had difficulty walking, but was asked to get back on the horse despite laying on the floor in pain. After she couldn't get on, we thought the guide would call for help. But we found out later that the guide simply called her coworker and told them she'd be late for her next ride. Are you kidding me? Someone gets hurt and your first thought is your next paycheck? Our friend had to continue on foot since the guide told us we could not get off to help her. I don't think she would've made it all the way. We were lucky to run into fire authorities that gave her a ride. The authorities clarified they were NOT contacted by the guide and they were there for a separate event. We took our friend to the ER ourselves to get a spinal scan which thankfully turned out with bruising only. Afterwards, we were not offered a refund. We get it, horses have bad days and are unpredictable. But there is no excuse for having a guide that is so severely untrained and unempathetic. In a real emergency, you do not want to be caught in the middle of a nowhere with no signal and a "guide" that doesn't even know how to call for help or care about you. She just sounded like she wanted it over with. Really horrified and disappointed by the negligence here.

    Best place, amazing staff! Beautiful horses and trail ride was perfect went for mother's day. Great…read moreexperience

    We just had our daughter's 5 year old birthday this past weekend at the ranch. Best idea ever. I…read morefound out about this place because my good friend had her daughter's birthday party here and my girls loved it. A year later they still remembered the party including the horses they rode and pet--Gidget and Traveler. So when it came time to find a spot for my little one's birthday, this place was the first one to come to mind. I could not be happier about the experience we had. Jenna and her family were so accommodating and so very easy to work with. I felt like she was an old friend. They try their best to make sure everyone has a great experience--including the host. Once you've got everything set up the way you want (food, decorations, etc), you just let them run it and they make the activities flow smoothly. I was able to roam around and mingle with guests and watch my kids ride horses. Every single one of my guests--children and adults--had a wonderful time. Many people commented on how peaceful and relaxed they felt there. Having no cell service really helped because nobody was distracted by their phone. Everyone was enjoying the moment and time with their kids. I loved the open, outdoor, natural space with the beautiful and gentle horses. There were also goats, chickens and pigs. Gold panning, "pin" the tail on a real donkey, painting a real horse, an open barn area where other horses are available to visit and pet. Our family made the trek up from the Sherman Oaks area and our guests came from even further away. They all thought it was worth the drive. I highly recommend! (birthday parties, weddings, photography, filming, riding lessons, affordable packaged birthday, family, fun)

    Over the moon. I am highly impressed by Jenna and the staff of Copper Horse Riding Ranch. From…read morecalling to do a site visit to my granddaughter's actual party, everything was Hassel free and very easy. This was a party for an 11 year old, with kids as young as 2 in attendance. All the children enjoyed riding the horses and playing the games, but my biggest surprise was how much they enjoyed panning for "gold". My party was 3 hours long and the children were occupied and enjoying themselves the entire time. Not only did the kids have a good time, all the adults commented on what a relaxing atmosphere the ranch was. We are now planning an "adult only day".

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!

I write this because I spoke to that friend about it, and I was wrong. He did hit on her aggressively and it made her very uncomfortable. She played nice and only pretended to enjoy it so that he wouldn't get mad. I don't think we'll be going back the next time.We're in town. I'm sorry if my original review mislead anyone.​

    Finding a personal trainer specifically for horseback riding is not easy, but Racheal truly stands…read moreout. She is by far the best trainer we've worked with--and we've gone through many over the years. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to tailor training to riding performance make a huge difference. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients' progress and understands the unique demands of horseback riding. If you're looking for a trainer who delivers real results, you will not be disappointed with the training you receive from Racheal.

    Let me just begin by saying this place is amazing!! I…read moresigned up my daughter into this sport of the Equestrian Center with not even realizing how crazy this sport could/is (price)!! My daughter has a passion for horses and animals in general she has been asking and bragging me to sign her up to learn how to do English jumping and so I did. I found this place online decided to give it a call and give it a try. Let me just say that Raquel her instructor is so sweet and amazing. You could tell that she definitely loves her job. Loves training all ages. Super sweet lady. The facility is so beautiful so clean so peaceful. My daughter has been training for about two weeks. Keep in mind that she only attends about one to two times a week to begin, and she is so good at this point she's learned so much things thanks to her instructor Raquel. If you're looking for someone that is genuinely loving and caring and not to say least that loves their job this is the place to be!!!! Just a quick in my personal opinion Keep in mind that equestrian training in general It's not an affordable thing to do in my personal experience but coming across the right trainer that LOVES Their job and most of all LOVES their horses is so rewarding that at sometimes you forget about pricing.!! This is a picture with the horse My daughter is training, Her name is Queen as she should be!!!!!!
