Katie is an amazing guide who has lifelong experience with horses, and is great with people, too. Our horses were great for the level we chose, and we had a really nice, fun ride. We brought carrots and apples to feed the horses after we returned, and they let us meet some of the other horses, too. Adam is the owner and is really nice and welcoming. We really liked the guy who feeds the horses, too!The price and the drive were totally worth it (price was better than L.A., for sure) and we'd definitely like to go again. Thanks SoCal Horse Adventures!

Never has my nervous system been as calm as when I got the chance to consistently be around horses. I am honoured to have been able to work beside Michael and learn from his experiences in horsemanship. In my eyes it was truly an enriching experience to see how we can teach a horse to trust again through consistent presence, training and care. 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 stumbled across Sweetwater during Covid when my son couldn't play baseball and was wanting to…read morelearn how to ride horses (thank you Red Dead Redemption LOL). I placed a call, the owner Monica answered right away and I explained our situation. In that very first phone call, she let me know they were still able to compete at events on horseback that my son might like to do and she even offered one of her lesson horses for him to use. When I excitedly told my son what she said, he replied "Why would she offer me her horse, she doesn't even know us??!" I told him, well, I guess some people are just giving like that or have a feel for good people like us. That pretty much sums Monica up. She is the consumate giver and ultimate all around horsewoman. She's all about the horses FIRST and does not hesitate to offer her decades of amazing experience and support in any scenario. Whether taking lessons or boarding here, you will automatically be at an advantage because of who she is as a person. Monica ended up giving us our first horse, as well as continuing to offer her support to this tiny family of green horse owners ourselves, as we've added a few more after! We can't envision being anywhere else, it's truly been a blessing knowing Monica, as well as all the other engaging and supportive horse owners at Sweetwater!

The horses were well behaved and knew exactly where they were going and followed in a line. It was a beautiful day for a ride and I had a great time! After the ride you can feed the horses carrots.

It was our…read morefirst time attending, as every time we try to go, something else is always scheduled the same weekend we want my son to attend camp, or the family weekend camp. This is such a lovely camp, really well maintained and wheelchair accessible. The entire staff we came across were super friendly and happy that you can't help but be happy too. There were so many activities for us to do, that we didn't even get to finish everything we wanted to do like archery, building a cookie house, arts and crafts, etc. I wish we were able to come sooner so we could have more time to do more fun things! (I think I had more fun than my son did to be honest). As a scouting family, I've been to numerous scout camps and I honestly think this is actually better than some of the BSA camps I've been to in terms of activities and facilities - and the food was great too. They accommodate for special diets which was awesome for my son's gluten free diet. This is such a special place, and we are lucky that The Painted Turtle exists to give special needs kids the opportunity to enjoy the camping experience. I hope that my son and our family can return for a family weekend camp in the future!
