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 lesson got cut a little short because a horse (not mine) got stuck in his reigns wrong and freaked out. They said I could ride more on my second lesson but when I tried to book my next lesson it was sold out until next year.. I'm not kidding. More than 8 months until I could book my next lesson. Very nice staff and horses but I wish their lesson bookings were more straight forward.

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!

My daughter has been taking horse lessons from Saddle Up Sactown for since she was four years old!!…read moreShe has learned so much at a very age appropriate level. Becca and Keith have been exceptional at building her confidence and teaching her how to ride, take care of a horse, tack a horse and even coach a mindful piece of managing your emotions around the horses. Our experience with them has been nothing short of amazing. Second to that, we have participated in their horse camp every summer and it is such a JOY for my daughter. She looks forward to summers with the horses, the craft, fun and unforgettable memories. If you are looking for a place/horse trainer/coach this is 100% the place and we highly recommend it!

When you come in, you can bypass the line to get in and just drive through the cars because they already have the parking included in the ride. We did a 1 hour ride at first and the horses are super fun and nice. The workers are super friendly and they are very knowledgeable. The second time we booked a 2hr session and we learned how to groom and saddle the horse for an hour and then the second hour we rode around the ranch. It is really pretty during sunset. Highly recommend this place! I would definitely come back again. Also, 1hr rides are free for military/veterans. But don't forget to tip!

I volunteered at a horse rescue for a couple of years and became familiar with being around horses. However, I was never taught how to tack a horse or to ride. Jerry teaches Western with neck rein training. He told me that by the end of camp I would know how to tack / untack a horse and that I would be able to ride and control a horse. He was right!!! I learned everything he taught me and more! I am so grateful for my experience at JB Ranch. His horses are very well taken care of, very well. He and his team are responsible, informative, and provide appropriate training for all levels of riders. One of the main focuses is about being safe around the horses and when riding. The trail rides are extensive and enjoyable. If you want to really learn how to ride, this place is it. Jerry's place is, by FAR, the best ranch I have been to. I highly recommend it and hope that you look into it too. Check out Jerry's bio here: http://jbranch.com/whoisjerrybestpitch.html A remarkable man who I am honored to have been trained by.
