    Great experience!! I used to ride when I was young (a long time ago...) but my kids have never done more that a tied up pony ride at the pumpkin patch. At 6 and 9, they really wanted to ride. Kids 6 and up are able to ride (with a provided helmet under the age of 12). When you make your reservation they ask for height and weight so they can get the saddles ready. There is a strict weight limit of 250 pounds. We showed up for our reservation and got to wander the charming western structure and pet a horse tied nearby. Once the rest of the families arrived, we got the introduction, instructions, and lined up to mount our rides! My kids got Barney and Star- best buddies who were retired circus horses. I rode Jeffery and my MIL got Honey. Paul led our group- a retired sheriff with a ton of horse experience who leads 2 week horseback pack and hunting trips. We rode for an hour with beautiful scenery and interesting stories. The kids loved it and we had a great time!

    We had a heck of a good ride w Alaskan Barbie.. we can't remember her real first name, one of the other rider-host kept caller that. When they say Lake views they are not kidding, Lovely views! Good horses my granddaughters first time out riding, she wants to go out again. We visited while staying in NorthFork about an hour away north? Don't forget to kiss your horse and tip your guide!

    This is our second year using Shaver Stables, and they are simply awesome. Dany was our guide this afternoon, and she went above and beyond to give us A+ service. During our ride, my youngest daughter fainted, and Dany jumped into action and took great care of her. Turns out she is also an LVN! Nice to have such a skilled rider and health professional as our guide. She even went to the lake and filled up her beautiful felt hat with water to help revive my daughter, and we made it back safely. My daughter is relaxing with a milkshake from Hungry Hut now, and doing fine. Both of our visits were A+ service, and the sunset trail is absolutely gorgeous. Couple that with a highly skilled guide like Dany, and you get 5 stars. I highly recommend this business, and will use them every year on vacation.

    My wife and I took my daughter (7) for her second ride with Shaver Stables yesterday evening. Both rides were really great. Beautiful scenery, really fun and professional staff, Paul was our guide each time and he is really great with kids and very friendly. It's a great way to see the beauty of the area and spend time with the family. Highly recommend.

    I have been here twice now and would most definitely recommend it to anyone looking for family fun. My six year old daughter and 8 year old nephew were able to ride with zero experience thanks to their amazing guides and sweet horses. My six year old talked to the trail guide the entire time and loved every bit of it.

    Go up there and enjoy a me time!

We met the owner and she was a doll- very passionate about the stables We added a ride at Shaver Stables it our yearly family tradition

    Our family of 6 had a great time riding the one hour point ride. We had a last minute additional rider and they happily accommodated us. The two guides with our group were friendly and upbeat. It's a beautiful ride with a lot of variation in the trails. You'll climb, you wind, you descend, and you even walk the lake beach.

    Super fun! Paul and team were great'!! Id do this again and again. First time riding and I had no worry being on my new friend Ivy

    We had a great time. Encourage everyone to at least go one time. Our grandkids had great time fir first time riding. Thank you for a great experience.

    Phenomena! Amazing! Impressive! Friendly! Courteous!…read more Best horseback riding experience I've ever had from the staff to the atmosphere in a full day service experience. Package would have easily been worth double the amount we actually spent! Our guides Mitch and Brandon were the most experienced cowboys I've ever met and not only did they share their knowledge in such a respectful way but they gave my son and I a full day of enjoyment with taking us through the most breathtaking views, laughter from their great stories and experiences and all out humble hospitality! Most personable and down to earth people running this place. Love all these people (so courteous and friendly, didn't even know them but felt like I had from the start) and their top notch, impressive professional family friendly horseback riding experience is second to none. Look no further if you are looking for an all out camping/fishing/hiking/horseback riding adventure! My son and I caught so many trout in just a little over an hour, thanks to our guides tips and techniques! Hadn't caught any all summer til they shared their expertise. Attached a photo of our haul. Our family will be making this an annual experience with D&F Pack Station!

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!

    We had a really enjoyable experience -especially for a first-time horseback ride with my daughter!…read moreSarah (I believe that was her name) was great--super knowledgeable about the horses and very kind throughout the process. Pros: * Great atmosphere for families * Friendly, informative staff * My 9-year-old daughter absolutely loved it * A good intro to horseback riding if you're looking to try something new Cons (just things to keep in mind): * If you're brand new to riding, be sure to request a calmer horse. I was paired with Tex, who hadn't had a rider in about 6 years. He lifted his head often, which made me feel a bit anxious as a beginner. I felt like I was going to fall off. * The parking situation is confusing--there are two driveways, and we accidentally pulled into the one that leads to the owner's home. She was not happy about it and let us know. We moved the car, but just a heads up to look for signs or ask where to park. Overall, it was a good experience--my daughter had a blast, and it's something we'll remember. Just be sure to communicate your comfort level and experience before saddling up. I'd still recommend it for families looking for a unique and fun outing!

And they no longer had one. They were "doing it old school" We found a date that was available and let her know it was for a date. She said a deposit was required, which to us seems totally normal, I repeatedly asked where I could place the deposit, for days I asked again and again. I even offered to come in person. I took the time off work for this date and hoped she'd respond considering we had been in communications and I was very quick to ask about securing the date. she knew the date I wanted and agreed it was available. I asked multiple times if she could please let me know if it was no longer available. Truthfully I could have booked elsewhere . I'm very disappointed with the lack of professionalism. the date passed and still didn't hear from her. With no notice, I was left last minute trying to scramble and find something else. Days later she did not offer any apology for the lack of communication that just dropped out of no where. She expected me to still want to book. She Just sent me somewhere else to contact her on WhatsApp. Mind you there is no where on any of her social media that says anything about booking elsewhere or another number. Why didn't she send this 2 weeks prior when I inquired about booking? Not sure but she definitely ruined my plans. I was pretty devastated. I gave it some time, before deciding to leave this review. It's just the lack of professionalism empathy or accountability fr her own actions that I felt necessary others know. This was a really significant and important date. I personally feel If you can't do it, you don't just ghost clients especially after talking to them every day for over a week and confirming a date. If you have an important date and want to book a horse back riding experience this would not be my first choice.

    The folks running this Pack Station are wonderful!…read more I'm a local and I just started riding my horse in the back country. I called the Horse Corral on three different occasions to ask questions and get advice. Charlie answered the phone twice and called me right back once when I had to leave a message. He's a good listener and gave me lots of great advice only a true horseman could offer. I visited the Corral as I was riding out on my very first overnight packing trip. He and his son, helped me out of a pickle right off the bat, I got my two-wheel drive pickup in a bad spot and he towed me up a hill. THEN, he spent 30 minutes with me giving updates on trail conditions and recommendations of where to camp, where to find water, where to graze my horse and the Ranger's name that I wound find at Roaring River. And if that weren't enough, when I was two hours later than planned coming out of the wilderness, I met him on the road. He was checking to make sure I was okay. He did all that and I didn't purchase a thing from him. I owe him a huge favor someday, but for now, I hope that once you've read this, you'll give him a call and make plans to let his team take you out into the beautiful Sequoia National Forest on horseback! Keep in mind that he offers packing trips for city slickers, but he also boards outside horses. For those who have your own horse, I highly recommend using his facility for a multi-day trip for you and your horse! Call him to get ideas for lodging for yourself. Happy Trails!
