Lisa and Taylor who were guides on our ride were friendly, helpful and very encouraging. Most trail rides are a simple walk through the woods. With Wild 3L Ranch they work with you to do more if you prefer and if you are ready. We enjoyed trotting and cantering with our horses. I highly recommend a ride with Wild 3L Ranch.

We love walking around here and the forest preserve beyond. You feel like you are a walking in the country side, there are tractors and farm equipment around and you can walk in between the horse pastures. Last time we were here the volunteers were in one of the larger areas where there is also a shelter for horses. We were talking to one of the volunteers and the horses were milling around very close to us. My son was super excited to see them up close.

i never rode horses here, so i can't really speak for that aspect of the center. however, i used to…read moretake my animal-loving client here all the time when i worked as a family support staff for kids with autism. said client never had much interest in the cosley animal zoo; i guess she liked to watch animals running around vs. sleeping in a cage. the staff were always friendly and obliging without being overly invasive, which is WAY more than i can say for most places/their treatment of people with disabilities. there was also a great set of wooded and prairie hiking trails; we had a lot of fun spotting birds by the pond. maybe i'm just nostalgic about this place/that job, but there's something to be said for it. my client had a lot of difficulty exercising and a lot of anxiety about venturing into the community, and she always felt right at home here. i guess this an oddly slanted view, especially for a first review. oh well.

All the horses here are loved and taken care of very well(and very spoiled but in a good way) I always recommend this barn to anyone looking for one. This barn is very well priced and they show you everything but they make sure you are ready for it unlike a lot of barns. I love going here it is the highlight of my week and anyone looking to ride at a barn should 100% ride here.

My daughter rides consistently and the prices are so affordable that I don't mind. She is being taught everything from grooming and tacking and riding to cleaning up, personal responsibility, safety, and riding etiquette. Every lesson is different. There are different types available for riders of different skill level, type, age, and approach. The stable owner and trainer is hands on, patient, funny and so respectful. I am just never anything but impressed with her and the team of workers and volunteers that help her out (including Husband Dean). We had our first birthday party there this year and it put things just up and over the top. I had to do a review. I cannot recommend this place any higher. Its a home away from home. 5 stars and beyond.
