    The Riding Academy, I'm disappointed that it took me having to leave a negative review for you to respond and even still you had to hide behind a clients response. Like Marcos E Ortega said, all I was looking for was a response. A conversation, and is it really that hard to take care of your clients by simply changing a rider out? I love your comment about "poor Rusty waiting on us" because IT MAKES NO SENSE when we were in GROUP lessons, we were not in private lessons where I would totally agree that poor Rusty waited on us... oh, also, not to mention that he supposedly waited with "her horse" when she had to be the one to pull the horse out and get it ready on top of having to switch horses several times... (that's in your policies too, so why lie?). Additionally, my daughter didn't decide to stop taking lessons which was followed by 5 missed lessons, we missed 5 lessons when I found out that my friend passed and I went to support my friends family and when I was with my family out of town in unexpected hospice for my father in law who took an unexpected downturn. When all the chaos began to settle is when it hit me that we had missed lessons and it surprised me to find it had been 5. I decided to reevaluate with my daughter whether she wanted to continue at which point she declined and that's when I contacted Sarah. Very little compassion and kindness seems to exist nowadays. Sarah, you are making this situation worse by adding lies and I'm sure you're just going to continue as you've already demonstrated that's the kind of person you are, all I was asking was that you own up and speak to me versus ignore me. Had you taken a moment to speak to me, you, Rusty, and the horses could have easily had another year's worth of money from me if not more because I loved going there. But $135 was worth more to you than $1320.

    Sarah, Mejo and two campers!

    Great place for Riding Lessons! Well mannered horses (and trainers)! My daughter has been going to The Riding Academy for about 3 years now and loves it. The owners stay current on trends and techniques and there is a nice mix of new and experienced horses.

    We have been clients of The Riding Academy for almost 11 years. All three of my children have taken lessons from Rusty and Sarah. My youngest started out with the Parent and Me program. They all have excelled and their love of horses and riding has continued. We purchased our first horse under the guidance of Sarah. We boarded our horse at the Riding Academy and had nothing but a wonderful experience. My daughters have gone on to show their horses. Sarah has been a wonderful instructor. My daughters are now adults and still take weekly lessons and continue to show their horses. The Riding Academy is absolutely the best. We love Rusty and Sarah and their program they offer!

    Rusty takes the time to help students prepare before going out to the arena.

    We just love The Riding Academy! Rusty is a great teacher and Sarah is very personable and professional. I appreciate the reasonable prices and friendly atmosphere. I originally purchased the 4 lesson package as a Christmas gift for my daughter and we have continued lessons since then. I am looking forward to continuing lessons each month. Thank you, Rusty and Sarah!

    Students learn care for horses and equipment as they start out each class grooming and checking the animals before each ride.

Conquered some fear of heights and great exercise lots of sweat so bring a towel for breaks and lots of water for hydration. Most of all he had soo much fun even when things got challenging. Coaches where there to make it safe and fun. The coaches were amazing, coach Renzo (dont know the spelling) was his favorite. Parking was easy the place well kept and clean. Need to download their app for schedule and sign up for classes. Thank you FIM and the coaches! Posting some pictures. Have a nice day!

    I'm going to be honest, I didn't have high hopes after booking a party and swinging by to see the…read moregym in person, especially when they ask for total payment up front. Nathan from the front was really helpful over the phone and when we stopped by, answering all our questions. The day of the party, we were told we could come in 30-45 minutes prior to set up. We got there an hour early and waited outside to find out there was literally a party booked right in front of ours (contrary to what we were told) that didn't end until 1/2 an hour before our party started. So after that party left and everything was cleaned up, it left us less than 20 minutes to set up our party, which was extremely stressful. Luckily for us and our party, everyone showed up on time for the most part which the coaches were then able to start right away. 10 stars for Coach Nathan (aka Coach Checkers) who was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and congenial with both the kids and adults. He was also really helpful throughout the party offering his assistance for every little thing. Him and his two helpers interacted with the kids the entire hour of the party, setting up fun obstacle courses and games to the very last minute. They helped clean up after and let the straggling kids, continue to play off to the side while we finished cleaning and packing up. I'm not going to lie, it's pricy compared to other party places where you at least have food included into the price, but you are definitely paying for the experience. 10/10 would highly recommend Coach Checkers for your party and if you could have a almost seamless and super fun experience as we did (the kids had a blast), it will be worth every penny!

    This is the first indoor play playground that I've taken my son too and we had a great time…read more Everything seemed clean and organized (we did go right when they opened) and there is a separate area to bring your own snacks/water outside of the playground. My son was one of the youngest there and had no trouble playing with the bigger kids, but there is a separate area for just 2 and under. Bathroom was clean and there was a changing table with wipes and a diaper pail available. Pricing was $20 for 2 hours of play which was plenty long enough for us to explore everything. There were a couple play houses, a "fishing pond," a farmers market with tons of play fruits and grocery items, two slides, and tons of trucks and cars and other toys! There were plenty of places for parents to sit inside the play area and observe the kids. My only complaint was that it was a little warm for me inside and I wish the AC was on higher, but it was also 100 degrees outside and I was chasing a toddler. The parents to the older kids didn't seem uncomfortable at all! The website is a little confusing when booking, so pay extra attention to what days are available for which times! I had booked 10-12 on a weekday without realizing they didn't have open play slots until 12 that day. We killed time at Target and came back and it was still totally worth it. They also have memberships if you want to save some money and go more frequently.

    SO MUCH FUN at The Little Red Barn!…read more We just had the best playdate at The Little Red Barn Playground and I seriously can't recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcomed -- their customer service is incredible and you can tell they genuinely care about kids and families. Hours & Location: They're located right in Murrieta at 33050 Antelope Rd. Suite 210 -- easy to find and easy to enjoy! Their regular schedule has open play sessions most weekdays and Saturday sessions too -- check their calendar since Saturday/Sunday times vary a bit. Weekdays typically start around 9:00AM and go until around 5:00PM, with toddler times and open play blocks throughout the day. Ticket Prices & Fun Options: Play sessions are usually around $20 per child and siblings are discounted (under 12months often play free!) -- totally worth it for the fun and learning. They also offer special Montessori life skills classes like Little Chefs and Little Helpers (great for ages 2‑6!) for an added cost, and these are amazing for building confidence and real‑life skills. What We Loved: * There's a separate spot for babies and toddlers (0‑2-ish) -- super thoughtful for little explorers! * So many activities and pretend‑play areas that keep kids entertained and learning! * Clean facilities and bathrooms -- huge plus in my book! * They take dedicated cleaning breaks to sanitize toys and play areas, which made us feel safe and happy the whole time. Overall, this place is such a gem for young families -- playful, supportive, and unbelievably fun for littles! Whether you're looking for a fun outing, a learning play session, or a safe place for kiddos to burn energy -- this is it! 100% recommend!

    BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!…read more My husband and I dreamed of a wedding where everyone could stay together onsite, immersed in nature, with no worries about driving after a night of fun, and Camp Osito Rancho made that dream a reality. Our families stayed in the health center, lodge, and electrified cabins, while our friends embraced the adventure of summer cabins and tents. The venue offers so many stunning spaces, from the spacious dining hall for meals to the stage/amphitheater with fire pits--perfect for s'mores and late-night stories. We exchanged vows at the top of a hill near the outdoor pavilion, with a gorgeous backdrop of pine trees and a view of Big Bear Lake in the distance. We were able to offer our guests camp activities like archery and a pool day, as well as had room to setup other activities like craft tables and lawn games. The biggest perk was the complete freedom to choose our own vendors, allowing us to create a truly personalized experience (huge shoutout to Scratch Kitchen for catering--our guests still rave about the food). We spent a year making signs, collecting décor, buying solar lights, and crafting to transform this Girl Scout camp into a full-blown wedding festival. If you're up for planning the details, this venue is the ultimate blank canvas. Last but not least, the Camp Osito Rancho team is absolutely amazing. A huge thanks to Angel for her help throughout the year, Ryan for his help throughout the weekend, and to Gerardo for the tour that sold us from the start. For a wedding that feels like an unforgettable getaway, this place is pure magic
