The kids all got to pet and love on the ponies, "help" clean the pony stall (pretty sure this was my 2 year old's favorite part), and then ride the ponies around the paddock. We loved it so much we ended up hosting my kids' birthday party here about 2 months later. It was such a hit with everyone that was able to make it. They had a beautiful patio area (with great shade from the heat) set up for us. It made set-up on my part incredibly easy. The kids got to ride Ricky around with Cowboy Justus leading them. He was so great to all the kids, and they had so much fun. Miss D was so helpful (and the absolute sweetest) with everything, and the kids really enjoyed following her around to feed the goats and chickens. The animals all were very kind and gentle with the kids, and seem very well socialized. Clean-up was so easy. 10/10 would go again.

If you're thinking about booking a trail ride with Boarding on the Lake, do it--you won't regret…read moreit! My granddaughter and I chose the two-hour trail ride around Folsom Lake, and it exceeded every expectation. I've owned horses and have ridden extensively, so we came with experience and simply wanted to enjoy a beautiful morning ride together. Our guide, Will, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, personable, safety-conscious, and made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and cares about both the horses and his guests. The horses were well-mannered, the scenery around Folsom Lake was breathtaking, and the pace was perfect for taking it all in. The best part? The smile never left my granddaughter's face all day. Those are the kinds of memories that last a lifetime. Thank you, Will, for making our ride so special. We highly recommend Boarding on the Lake and can't wait to come back!

When the day came and we arrived we were greeted by Marina and other staff members. They were all so nice. Marina asked each one of us that was going on the trail ride what our experience on a horse was. She paired us up with the best horse for our experience. We had an awesome ride by the lake with beautiful scenery and Marina even took pictures of us along the way and shared them with us after. She was such a great guide and I hope to go back there again when I return in September. Thank you Marina and Boarding by the lake!!

However, during my most recent visit, I encountered two staff members I had never seen before, and they were noticeably rude and pushy. The tall, large‑built woman at the front seemed upset or irritated, and her attitude made the interaction uncomfortable. Their behavior genuinely made me reconsider returning, which is disappointing because the stables have always been a lovely place before this.

Shadow Glen Riding Stables was hands down the best field trip we have been on in years!…read moreAs a 3rd-grade teacher, I cannot say enough good things about Terry and the wranglers. They were welcoming, patient, knowledgeable, and made every student feel included. Our students had an incredible opportunity to learn about ranch and farm life, tractors, horses, foals, farm animals, hay, and the daily responsibilities of caring for a ranch. The hands-on experiences were the highlight of the day. Students were able to groom horses, interact with animals, ask questions, and gain a real appreciation for agriculture and animal care. Terry and his team kept the students engaged from beginning to end. What made this experience even more special was Terry Howard's generosity. Shadow Glen donated approximately three hours of their time at no charge to educate three classes of Center Joint Unified School District students. That level of community support is truly appreciated. Our students are still talking about the trip, and the adults had just as much fun as the kids. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

My wife and I were staying at the "Tiny House" on the estate of Saluti Cellars in Somerset. Feeling adventurous on our 18th anniversary, we booked a two-hour "River Run" with Saluti Horse Adventures. This was my wife's FIRST time on horse, and she was very nervous, but owners David and Brenda was exceedingly friendly and accommodating to this. Among their countless well-trained horses, they personally selected the best possible horse, "Blackjack," for my wife, and by the end of the ride my wife was hugging and snuggling with Blackjack as if they'd been old friends for years. The ride itself was easy and and very scenic, and David told adventurous stories throughout. In the middle of the ride, at the river, we got off our horses and watered them, and the ride back took us near the beautiful Saluti vineyard. We wholeheartedly recommend Saluti Horse Adventures, and we can't wait to book another ride with them soon!

It's one thing to have your horse trained well, but It's another to also care about educating the rider.
