    Adventures on horseback is truly the best! My boyfriend booked us a vineyard ride despite his fear of horses and we both had such a good time he said he wants to go back on a monthly basis! The location is absolutely gorgeous and the horses are wonderful even for beginner riders. Deb was a truly excellent guide she is kind, patient and fun to chat with! You can tell she takes really good care of the horses and she really enjoys what she does. I cannot recommend this company enough and I can't wait to go back for my next ride.

    A beautiful morning trail ride with our new friends at Adventures on Horseback in Ramona.  Thanks Dave and Deb for making our ride great!

    When our niece Brooke said she wanted to go horseback riding for her birthday with our whole family, we know it would be a challenge. But Deb and our guide Dave made the outing effortless and a whole lot of fun. The horses were perfect, the trails scenic, and we all had a great time on our ride. We will definitely be checking back with them to do another ride. Great folks and operation!

    Excellent vineyard ride with Wrangler Dave and my daughter. Time well spent on healthy horses. Not your nose to butt trail ride but a pleasant meandering in the hills and shade outside of Ramona. Thanks for the ride. As my daughter said, this is the best therapy for anyone stressed or anxious.

    Had an awesome time with Deb our guide and rangler. It was one of the best rides we have been on.

    Probably the most comfortable horse back rides e have been on. Rode over the hills overlooking Ramona and summer if the wineries. Loved Deb our guide and rangler.

    What a great time we had riding through the mountains of Ramona. Our guides Bob and Melissa we're fantastic. The horses we rode were very relaxed and easy to ride. I am an Advent horse rider, and my friend was a beginner, and the horses they chose for us were just perfect. we got to see some nice mountain views, the horse ranch, and even some wild turkeys. I highly recommend Adventures in horseback for anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing day in the mountains. thanks again Bob and Melissa we will be back. Mike and Denise

    Thank you treat after the ride

    I took my 77yr old Mom and my 12yr old Son to Adventures on Horseback. It was the best guided horseback riding adventure that we've ever been on. They give you a quick talk on horse riding and safety. Then you're off and riding. They have beautiful horses and we went on the ranch ride. They have over 300 acres of ranch, so this is not one of those boring rides. Beautiful scenery, and our guides Debbie and Dave were wonderful. They were entertaining and informative, it was fun and educational. We go to Ramona every year and we are definitely coming back for the best horseback riding adventure of all. Thanks for taking great care of my family, and giving us an unforgettable experience!

    My niece got a little freaked out in the beginning (just nerves) and Deb calmed and centered her like a pro.

    What a fun time!!…read more Coming from someone who rides horses daily, this was a wonderful experience! I took my friends here for a bachelorette weekend ride and it was perfect! One of them had never been on a horse before and Luke was so kind and willing to make her feel the most comfortable when riding! He explained to her how to safely ride and have a comfortable ride, at that. Not only was it fun learning about the Julian mines along the tour, the horses were very happy! I avoid doing these kind of things because typically the horses are ridden so often that they just become robots and you can tell they're unhappy. That was NOT the case with these ones. They get well-rested and have a lovely space in the shade to relax when they're not on trail. Each of our horses were also very well trained and rideable for even the most inexperienced person. All very sweet temperaments and happy to get their apple slices at the end. Overall, the ride was wonderful, our guide was so respectful and informative and we had a wonderful day riding through the countryside of Julian!

    Whenever we travel, we try to do a trail ride. As more experienced horse people, we've found that…read moreit can be hard to find tourist trail rides that are for fun for people who already know how to ride. After a lot of research I picked Integrity Stables and I'm so glad I did! Horses are well loved and cared for, the ride was very private (just us and our guide), the scenes were beautiful, and our trail guide (I'm blanking on his name he was young--maybe it was Luke?) was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Would recommend to anyone (experienced horse person or not) and definitely plan on going back next time I'm in San Diego! While it is a little drive from San Diego (45 min - 1hr), the little town of Julian was the perfect place for us to stop afterwards for lunch before we made the drive back!

She paired each of them with a horse that was perfect match for their energy. They did a 1 hour ride and all came back with big smiles, thank you so much for the memorable experience Gabby! You can tell all the horses are well taken care of and that everyone there loves them very much! We will be back for sure!!!

    I took some time to type this review as I would never want to negatively impact a company but…read morethought I owed it to the community to share our experience. We recently had a very disappointing and concerning experience with this horseback riding company. Unfortunately, the horses provided for our group did not appear to be properly trained or well-managed. Several of the horses were extremely difficult to control, and their behavior raised serious safety concerns from the start. During the ride, two horses became particularly unruly and ended up bucking, throwing two members of our group off onto the ground. This was a frightening and potentially dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious injury. While we understand that working with animals always carries some risk, this level of behavior suggests a lack of adequate training, supervision, or proper matching of horses to riders. After this negative experience the Owner refused to reimburse us. She offered us a credit to come back and take another ride with them. After this experience, the ladies are terrified to get on another horse. I would strongly encourage the company to review their safety protocols, horse training practices, and staff preparedness to ensure a safer experience for future guests. I leave you all with the horses are beautiful and you can tell they are well taken care but you should be a very experienced rider if you book with this company.

    After seeing so many positive reviews, I was excited to book a lesson with Ashley Duke. I had taken…read morea pause from riding and was really looking forward to getting back in the saddle. We reconfirmed our appointment earlier in the day, and I even asked which payment method she preferred, so I truly thought everything was set. However, when I arrived and finally found the front gate I waited and, no one was there. I called Ashley and no answer. I left a voicemail and sent a few texts, but never heard back. I honestly hoped it was just a misunderstanding or that something serious had come up, but after several days, I still received no response at all. I don't typically write reviews, but I took time out of my workday for this lesson only to be completely stood up without explanation. What's worse is that a friend of mine saw Ashley at the IEC in Ramona just days after this happened, so it clearly wasn't an emergency. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend her services. If you value your time and reliability, I'd suggest looking elsewhere

I had my lesson specifically with Sasha, she was great! Ashley was giving a lesson at the same time and everyone was interacting with each other, had a really great time. Some barns can be really difficult to feel comfortable in but it was great I loved it. I rode count and he was AH-MAZING! So so so fun!! I'll be going back for sure, already scheduled my next lesson. Also, very reasonably priced! Can't wait to become a regular and build lasting relationships with both the people and horses at the barn. Can't wait to get my 2.5 yr old daughter involved too!!

    Prior to making out reservation, I called Dave (the owner), left a voice mail and he called me…read moreright back! He was so polite, answered all my questions and I could tell the way he was talking about his horses, he REALLY loved his horses, and wasn't doing the tours for profit! We bought out tour tickets directly from his site! I would recommend doing that so it gives HIM/his stable/ HIS horses all the money and Groupon not taking any portion! We did the 10am tour that lasted a little over 2 hours. Upon arriving Dave met us, told us we were just waiting for another couple to come (there was bad traffic) and then we would be on our way. Upon everyone arriving he asked every one how comfortable we were and what our level of riding was. Even though I have rode horses several times growing up, I still considered myself a beginner. He matched us up with our horse, allowed those who could hop right on to get on, but gave me a step to get on to get on to my horse (my horse was REALLY TALL)! Dave stayed back at the stable and let us go out on the trail with our guide (sorry forgot his name)....but he was EXCELLENT TOO!!!! We tried to stay in a single file line with the beginner horses in the front and middle and the novice riders in the rear to try and keep everyone on the trail...even though my horse and I were matched for me being a beginner, my horse just wanted to stay in the back, in the bushes and eat anything possible! PERFECT MATCH! We were out on the horses for about 45 mins and then we took a break. The guide lead us to where there were 2 picnic tables and brought us snacks and bottles of water! It was great to take a break and to get some great photos w/ our horses. I could go on and on about how great the guide was, the horses were and Dave, the owner! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT, and hope to go back soon! Thanks Dave!!! PS-My horses name was "One eye...." I forgot the rest...but he only had one eye! LOVED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
