I'm not sure it's exactly like riding a bike--but Karen made me feel completely at ease from the start. Kiwi, my horse, was incredibly patient and gentle with me. I swear she knew I needed a little extra TLC! It made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. I even got to do a tiny bit of trotting, which was such a fun bonus. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to try horseback riding or get back into it!

Genesis was completely honest and upfront about the horse I inquired about which is really hard to find. We started looking for a horse and we heard from her that she had a horse that fit our description so we went and looked at the horse and he was literally everything we were told he was and more! We got there and he was literally the sweetest most loving horse ever! I like the older ones because they are better broke for the kids to ride. We ended up with this amazing horse named Pooh Bear. The best part about it is she even dropped him off to me because I was so close. I mean how better can it get honestly! All the girls that work here were absolutely phenomenal. They didn't make it awkward or make me feel any pressure to buy him or anything. They even tried him first before I got on which is very professional. That's how it should be. They also offered to help Me if I ever have any problems with this sweet boy! If you are looking for your forever baby I highly recommend reaching out to Rocky Peak Ranch you will not regret it one bit! Thank you to all the wonderful staff that helped me find my Pooh Bear!

Such a fun day celebrating my birthday last Thursday. I've never been able to own horses, but I…read morelove going riding whenever I get the chance. Matt and I chose A Trail To Remember to take us out for a ride and it was unlike any other "trail ride" I've ever been on! When we showed up Kelli served up mimosas and we got to relax under a red umbrella in really comfy lounge chairs. When we went on our ride it was only Matt, myself and our trail guide Scott. Instead of being with a large group riding in a straight line, Scott let us go at our own pace and lead, it was like we were riding with a friend, not a trail guide. Scott was also our own personal photographer on the trail capturing our little moments along the way. When we got back to the horse trailer Kelli had a personalized birthday cake waiting for me and then they proceeded to sing me happy birthday. We ended our time with feeding the horses some carrots and eating cake! What a great birthday all thanks to Kelli Cathey-Andersonkel and her awesome team! I'll definitely use them again! If you're looking for a great way to spend a special event or just a date day getaway this is the way to go! They are local to Wildomar and they are awesome people!

My daughter was a first time rider and she has had a blast since she started. She has made so much progress in a short period and her progress and love for horseback riding speaks volumes to SHRA trainer, Kaitlyn and her training program. Kaitlyn's patience, compassion and her ability to connect with my daughter is the reason why we love it here-- she is the real deal. If you want your little ones that want to develop some physical strength, mental toughness time management and responsibility, I strongly suggest checking out SHRA. You will be pleasantly surprised of all that they offer here and for that, I am a member for life!

1 Star - Very Disappointing Experience…read more We went on an adventure with Action Tours in Big Bear and decided to rent a GoPro from them for $49 (tax included) so we could record the whole experience. What they never told us was that the SD card only holds about 45 minutes of video... even though the tour lasts 3 hours. Because of that, the camera ran out of space before we even really started, and we didn't get to record the full experience at all. When I called afterward to explain the issue, the staff was extremely rude. They basically said, "You rented a GoPro to get a video, and you got a video," and refused to take any responsibility. They made it clear they don't do refunds, even though they never told us about the recording limit in the first place. Overall, the adventure itself is just okay -- you get what you pay for, nothing extra. But the unprofessional and rude staff completely ruined it for us. Definitely do NOT recommend renting the GoPro, and honestly the customer service alone makes it hard to recommend Action Tours at all.

We recently planned a family trip to Big Bear and booked a tour with Big Bear Zipline for a very…read morespecial celebration involving multiple family birthdays. Unfortunately, due to a mistake on our end when marking our calendar, we missed our original booking date. We absolutely acknowledged and took full responsibility for the error, and respectfully reached out to Big Bear Zipline to explain the situation and see what options were available to salvage the experience. As shown in the attached screenshots, we approached the situation kindly, respectfully, and understanding that businesses must balance policies with customer service. We shared that we were not asking for a free experience, but simply hoped for some understanding given the circumstances and the significant payment we had already made. Despite our efforts to find a middle ground, the business remained firm, reiterating that although they "have compassion," they would not accommodate further without additional payment. While we respected their right to enforce their policy, the interaction felt very transactional, and sadly did not reflect the spirit of hospitality we had hoped for when planning a meaningful family trip. We received one email when we purchased the tickets two months ago and one phone call 10 minutes before our scheduled reservation. In the end, it may have been a blessing in disguise. We explored other activities around Big Bear that felt incredibly welcoming, fun, and family-oriented -- experiences that created beautiful memories we will cherish for a lifetime. We share this review not out of anger, but to offer honest feedback: mistakes happen, and sometimes, a little flexibility and kindness could leave a much bigger, positive impact on families looking to create lasting memories.

Small and quaint, we ordered hot chocolate and cake pops for the ride. Very pretty 12-15 minute ride through gorgeous grounds and winery, and an adorable set up going through Santa's workshop.

Affordable, too. $75 per carriage, and we had 6 people in our carriage-2 sets of parents and 2 kids. The 6 of us loved it. All in all, a great evening.

The Headless Horseman Carriage Ride was definitely a hit! When my nephew asked his daughter, what was the favorite thing about our family get together, she said, the Headless Horseman ride. We also found a Great Pyrenees on site that she fell in love with. This dog was such a sweetie! It was about a 20-minute horse-drawn wagon ride through Wine Country Hollow where we saw some cute Halloween and fall scenes and then we had a magical encounter with the Headless Horseman! There is coffee, hot chocolate & treats available from Coffee Cave to enjoy before or after your ride. Everybody working we're all fun and friendly. The Headless Horseman ride is available select October nights from 5:30 to 9:30 PM at a reasonable $15. This fills quickly, though, and we were lucky to get a reservation. I would love to come back and try some of their other carriage rides.
