His expertise and gentle approach make him the ideal veterinarian for any pet. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions, putting my mind at ease about my pet's health. The support team at Badger Creek is second to none. Alturo, Alturo, Felix, Amy, and Cheryl Bellew, among others, work seamlessly together to ensure the clinic runs smoothly.

They prioritize urgent cases and handle them with the highest level of professionalism and care.

My trainer Kristin is kind and…read moregreat at giving direction and teaching, and the lesson horse I rode - Soldier - is sweet and patient. He's an gentle soul! If he felt me leaning to far off from center or too far forward he'd stop so I wouldn't fall off. This made me feeling more comfortable with learning to post to trot. Looking forward to my next lesson!

**** Child Endangerment**** Gaslighting*** We are no longer…read moreattending. Brittney, the owner, attempted to scare a horse, by slapping it very hard and loudly, that my daughter was escorting out of the barn. My daughter, a beginner and a child, was holding the reins of the horse tightly. Brittney hit the horse from behind, out of sight of my daughter and the trainer. Luckily the horse did not take off running. My child, could have been seriously hurt. This is the first time that I had seen her violently hit a horse. If you have children, please be careful. There are humans that will try to hurt you or retaliate against you via your child. And there are people that will put your child in danger, not care, and attempt to twist the truth. I believe the owner targeted my child because of the Yelp review I did from April 2022. Most horseback riding accident victims are girls between the ages of 10 and 14. This is my daughter's age group. Children do not have the reaction capabilities that adults have. Safety for girls in this age group needs to be taken very seriously. I sent them an email expressing my concern for my child's safety. And instead of apologizing, they decided to lie and gaslight me... Examples of their gaslighting- (Twisting reality) I was told that I wasn't there when it happened and I heard about it from someone else... (The truth) I WAS there. I was THERE. I did not hear about the smack from anyone else. I heard the smack and I heard the trainer immediately ask Brittney, "Did you just smack Misty?" And Brittney said, "Yes, haha! I told you Misty wouldn't do anything." I HEARD that conversation, because I was THERE. Testing the horse's reaction to being loudly hit like that while a child is holding it is unprofessional, irresponsible and disgusting. (Reality) Everyone in the barn looked shocked and looked towards Brittney because the noise (of the hit) was so loud. I SAW that, because I was there. And I looked too. It sounded like a book being dropped. (Denial of reality) They denied that Brittney hit the horse and said it was a "pat." (Reality) It was a very loud smack/hit. (Minimization/confusion) They said I was the only one "expressing extreme concern about a horse being pat." My concern was/is/has been my daughter's safety and her holding a horse that was getting loudly hit. And they said I am at fault for not immediately expressing my concern to the trainer. And I did speak to Brittney after she was done teaching her student. If you bring up any concern to the owner she will yell at you OR flat out gaslight you. And the rider's safety is not always taken into consideration, depending on the student. Some students will be discriminated against. No, I do not recommend this business.

Over these past 20 years of riding with Horseplay our son's focus and concentration on tasks has increased, his body core and sense of balanced have greatly improved, and his ability to ride a full grown horse independently is absolutely amazing! Thanks to the wonderful PATH certified instructors and fantastic volunteers, our son looks forward to each weekly session. I wish you could see the big smile on his face when he rides his horse. Horseplay is a non profit organization and charges us a reasonable fee for each session. You can check them out at www.horseplayriding.org.

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.

Very nice staff and horses but I wish their lesson bookings were more straight forward.
