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!

At least they didn't show it . The price ($200 pp) was reasonable considering we rode the horses for an hour and a half. We went horseback riding through the Indian Canyon. Beautiful views around the palm trees. I even wanted to get off the horse and hike around LOL. They do ask for your height and weight when you fill out the agreement form. The guides will match you with a horse that is obviously suited for you. I was apparently matched with the grumpy one LOL. Still a cutie pie! I was definitely nervous since it was my first time riding a horse. Our guide was super sweet and very helpful so that helped ease my nervousness a bit and It turned out to be an amazing experience and I'll definitely do it again!

My point to this review is to say the people that run this place are super nice even for someone like myself that didn't ask to go riding. We're going back again in the fall. Oh.. she didn't bark!

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!

I have been to Knob Hill Ranch on two separate occasions now, and both times were just beyond…read moreanything I could have expected! The first ride was a 2-hour sunset ride with my sister and niece, and the second was the 4-hour Wranger Special all by myself, only 3 weeks later, because this place is just that fun! All ranches that offer horseback riding are not equal. I have been to a couple ranches where they simply run it like a machine with little to no respect, having horses ride constantly throughout the day with little rest. Knob Hill Ranch takes a different approach, and after sitting with Madeline and Michael for a length of time after my 2nd ride, I learned that Knob Hill is on a different level than most ranches you'll encounter. Horses at Knob Hill are treated with such compassion and care. A horse only rides once a day, and that alone was enough for me to know I can trust the way this ranch is ran. They have a deep respect, for not only the horses, but the land as well, and you will feel it as soon as you get there. There is something sacred under the lands surface, and it feels as though the ranch is operating in such a beautiful way, because they're mirroring the sacred beauty and elegance that lies beneath the soil. Oh, and it's worth mentioning, they host equine therapy on their land as well, along with sound baths for folks. I mean, this ranch is dabbling into all things that revolve around healing and cultivating a calm and peaceful environment. Once you experience it, how could you not want to go back?! And for me, it's a 6 hour drive each way, totally worth it. After reading this novel of a review, it is clear this ranch is operating with a deep heart-centered intention, so they're not surface level folks running a machine to make money. And, if you're tired of surface level conversations about sports and weather, like myself, these are the folks you can dive deep into conversation with about life, and leave the surface level topics behind. They're providing an area on Earth for us to connect not only with horses and nature, but ourselves. Much gratitude toward Michael and Madeline!

He was so trusting and relaxed that my granddaughter felt so proud of herself at the things she got to experience! One example is that she got to walk her horse--Mama Rose--back to the red "barn" all by herself once she had completed her session! She's 6! We arrived early and got to "self tour" without anyone being uptight, which included visiting the goats! Before my granddaughter took her helmet off, she asked to go again! I came home and purchased 3 more sessions! We plan to take her lifelong buddy next time! Experience over toys! Experience is the best gift ever!

I planned my bachelorette party with Providence Heart months in advance, and throughout that time…read moreeverything seemed like it was moving forward. They knew the date of my event was Saturday, October 3, and we had multiple emails and text messages discussing the plans. About two weeks before the event, the communication started to change from everything sounding confirmed to more of a "we'll see" situation. Even then, I continued answering questions and providing the information they requested, including our group size and rider details. As recently as the day before they canceled, they were still asking questions and discussing logistics for our group. Then, only four days before my bachelorette party, I received a message saying they were unable to accommodate us because their trainers were unavailable. What I find most disappointing is the timing. If there was a possibility that they could not accommodate our group, I should have been told weeks earlier. They already knew the date and had been communicating with me about this event for months. Waiting until four days before an important event left me with essentially no time to find another horseback-riding experience or completely reorganize my bachelorette plans. I understand that staffing issues can happen, but the way this was handled was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I would have much rather been told earlier that they could not commit to the event than spend months planning around something that was ultimately canceled at the last minute. This was supposed to be a special memory before my wedding, and instead I had to cancel the plans I had been looking forward to because there simply was not enough time to arrange something comparable. Based on my experience, I would not recommend planning an important or time-sensitive event here unless you are prepared for the possibility that your plans may change very close to the date.

It's still a great ride on these Magestic animals, couldn't be too disappointed because I truly wanted to jus ride. It's been so long, since I was a teen since I've been on a horse and my heart needed this. I've always wanted a stable full of horses, hey, a girl can dream. I'm so mad bc I cannot remember our trail guide but she has been working there only for eight months as of 4/18/26. She was the best and easy to talk too. We loved all the horses! I got to ride Ranger and he was so hungry during our trail ride. Had me thinking, do thy feed them lol but I just let him do his thing and she did as well. We all just let the horses eat and chill too while taking the trail ride. We wanted them to enjoy themselves too! My man rode Mega and he's huge! Also, he's their youngest horse and I cannot remember the name of the other horse but I did ask their ages. Many horses live around forty years and Mega was seven, Ranger was 15 and the horse guiding us was 20. It was such a nice day to ride. Don't come here having to use the bathroom lol. My one complaint about the trail is their lack of cleaning it! There was a toilet that has been there on the trail a while, I'm not sure if someone dumped some fish eggs on the trail, there was a little patch that they need to clean asap! They're probably just use to it and might not notice but there and lots of flies over it and I'm not sure why someone wouldn't want to take pride in the trail. I'm hoping this review will help them get there. There are so many things to make this experience even more beautiful and memorable. Thanks for the ride!
