Certain members of the board of directors exclude people who have differing opinions on how the property should be run. If you can board there and not get drawn into the toxic interpersonal and leadership environments, by all means do so. However, I give it my lowest possible recommendation, having boarded all over the country and never experiencing such an unpleasant energy in my life. The caretakers of the horses are excellent.

Love this place. From the moment we stepped on about 7 years ago. My daughter rode with KT and Greg…read morefor five years and they are like family. In fact, in the time that we were there we witnessed many kids taking to greg and KT like family. Kids grow up there, not only learning to ride and love horses but also learning responsibility, good horsemanship, kindness, volunteerism. It's the whole package there. We have since moved to another state but RBR is where my daughter goes first when we go back to LA to visit. They will always be family. Actually, we often marvel at KT's disposition - patience of a saint, so relaxed and chill. Always quick to smile and laugh. Can we all be more like KT?

This is a nice shaded trail for those hot summer days…read more One way to access this trail is on the northwest corner of Foothill Blvd. and Oak Grove. You can park at Hahamongna Watershed Park, but make sure you get you car out of there by the time the sun goes down or you'll probably be towed. Don't park at La Canada High School either unless you have a permit. It's mainly a horse trail at this entrance so there's a lot of loose dirt similar to Horse Trail Lane. See my review on that one. The length of the trail is approximately 2.16 miles and most of it borders the residential area. You can also access the trail via the Arroyo Seco Trail which basically goes along the Watershed Park from JPL to the north and then Devil's Gate Dam to the south. You can also access the Gabrielino Trail on the east side of the wash and head northeast past JPL. Just watch out for people playing Frisbee golf. I almost got hit in the head and got yelled at when I picked it up. I would highly recommend this trail if you are trying to stay in the shade and you don't forget to get your car out by sundown.

Heidi Misrahy Training Stables is the best place to ride! It is located in the beautiful grounds of…read morethe Flintridge Riding Club, not only a historical place to ride but the premier riding facility in Los Angeles. Heidi and her team take incredible care of all horses and riders. It is a great place to learn how to ride or advance your riding skills - whatever your goal is, it can be met by riding with Heidi. When you ride with our barn, you will feel a sense of community and a member of our barn family. We all encourage one another and are supported by an amazing team of trainers. When you learn from Heidi, you are learning from an experienced horsewoman and true professional. She is a talented instructor and a pro in the business. I can't say enough positive comments about team HJM!

I am NOT world-class, nor elite, but I've been guided forward at my own pace with support and joy. It's hard to start something like riding as an adult, but they made safe, easy and fun. So fun. And I'm deeply in love with the horse I get to ride. There's a bit of a waiting list to get in, but it's totally worth it!

When I bought him, he had not been ridden much outside of the track, and he spent the previous year recovering from a tendon injury. It was quite an undertaking to find a trainer to help me restart him under saddle to say the least. After much searching, a mutual friend introduced me to Tori, and she has been amazing. After only a month, she has helped me transform my spooky Thoroughbred into a pretty calm, rideable horse! She really knows what she's doing and she understands the breed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to start a horse.
