Thank you Cristina for your kindness, your friendliness and for your patience with the two eight…read moreyear old girls today at your ranch. We showed up at Los Saltos at 10:00 am on a Sunday and were greeted by the welcoming committee... some friendly dogs that live on the ranch. We made our way to what seemed to be an office, knocked on the door and Cristina appeared and welcomed us. As we walked to the covered arena we were able to see two foals that were under a week old, some goats, miniature horses and a mule. The kids loved this. At the arena Cristina was so patient with the girls as she taught them commands to control their horses. They rode around the arena until they were comfortable with the horses and only then did they take us to the pasture for a trail ride. We walked the pasture and came back to the arena and Cristina let the girls ride around the arena basically until they had had enough. Then we walked the horses over to another barn and were able to take them back out to the pasture. We found the prices to be very reasonable and the horses were the best trained horses we have ever experienced. We would recommend Los Saltos to any other families that want to expose their children to horses. They also offer training classes for more advanced riding and a variety of boarding facilities.

Bayley is patient and phenomenal with kids! She'll help get them to horse shows, teach them respect for animals and each other, and let them have a great time, too! If you love horses, you'll love Painted Prairie Ranch and Bayley!

Listen, there are not enough words to describe the experience my husband and I had here…read more Kudos to Andrew, who is not only patient and kind, but knowledgeable and sensitive to people. I was completely blown away by my experience and frankly outside my comfort zone with what was revealed to me. Although, being with animals IS my comfort zone! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting each horse, donkey, and kitty on the property. I enjoyed the staff, too. I'll end just by saying, everyone should experience a little equine therapy. Just try it. For you, your spouse, extended family, for the kids... whatever. There is also riding lessons! Check them out at SSYEA.org

Great communicator, taught my daughter about horse care, then riding skills. She gave a hands on experience the entire way with thorough instructions.
