This place has all 5 star reviews for a reason!!! Linda is very honest and to the point. She gives honest feedback in a gentle way that makes the rider feel good. I can't wait to return!!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Linda. She's hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, human or horse! Her connection with animals is just something special; it's like they instantly trust her, and honestly, so did I. She's incredibly knowledgeable but also patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress. Whether it was a scheduled session or a last-minute question or need, Linda always made herself available and never made me feel like I was a bother. That kind of dedication is rare. If you're looking for someone who truly gets horses and knows how to teach in a way that builds confidence, for both horse and rider, Jump for Joy is for you! read more

Jump For Joy - Horseback Riding Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

I recently moved my green-broke mare to this barn and I can't even put into words how wonderful the experience has been. Linda is spectacular in the way she treats all of the horses at this ranch, and her training is spot on. She is informative as to her critiques to break them down to an understandable level to ensure you're truly understanding and therefor accurately correcting your mistakes/difficulties- and I mean from what tack fits your horse best, the right and wrong way to approach your horse, as well as riding technique. The first day I moved my horse here every single horse owner gave me a warm welcome and made both me and my horse feel right at home. My horse has always been nervous and unsure of herself, but since I've moved her here I've seen such a difference- calm, cool, and collected. Truly a spectacular place, if you come here, you're never going to want to leave! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of this barn. I showed up 3 years ago, a beginner and a timid rider whose last lesson was at horse camp in 1976. I wasn't sure if my dream to be an equestrian was still feasible. (Spoiler: it was!) I picked the right place. The trainer, Linda, not only has decades of experience with horses, she draws on her background in education to explain concepts clearly and show you how to build on each skill to advance in your riding. She was also instrumental in helping me find my dream horse and negotiating the price for me. I now board my horse at Jump for Joy and he is happy and well taken care of. The covered arena at this barn is a bonus on hot, sunny days. Jump for Joy is a no-drama barn where everyone is friendly and supportive. My horse and I can't imagine being anywhere else! read more

What a great first experience and for the time we had my daughter learned so much. A beautiful place and a wonderful teacher who truly took the time to show my daughter so much . I can tell we are going to love it here and look forward to great memories. Suzanne albert read more

I couldn't even put into words how incredible Linda & Jump For Joy is even if I tried! Linda has a glistening personality and is sure to make your lesson the most enjoyable and still educational lesson you'll ever have. It's not a strict and uptight environment, so soaking up the knowledge and techniques to reach the next skill level is super easy with Linda. I will never ever go to another stable, so Linda you better stay put! read more

I started riding lessons here 2 years ago, and it has totally changed my life for the better. You won't find a place with less drama and toxicity, everyone is super friendly, and the place is amazing, it doesn't get better. If you are considering taking lessons, doing training or boarding here, I highly recommend doing it here it really doesn't get any better than this. read more

Now that several months have gone by since I first started riding here I wanted to update my review. Linda continues to be an amazing trainer and mentor. My husband is now also taking lessons and we now own two horses which we are boarding here. The environment is family friendly and drama free. Everyone at the barn (other students and boarders) is great and has become like a second family. Our horses are VERY well taken care of and happy. Linda is always willing to go the extra mile. I give ten stars ++++. There's no better place to take lessons and board horses. read more

First and foremost, let me just say that I have been riding for awhile at A LOT of different barns, but nothing has helped me improve as a rider and horse-woman as my time with Linda. So far, I have only had a few lessons, but there is a noticeable difference and I am always leaving with a smile. Linda is a wonderful trainer and I highly recommend her for all levels of riders as she ALWAYS strives to make you just that much better. In addition, she has well-mannered lesson horses that are happy to be working! I cannot wait to become a permanent member of her barn and hopefully board a horse of my own on her property some day! read more

Linda is such a kind woman who puts others before herself. She is incredibly charismatic and has a vibrant passion for horses, riding, and teaching others to ride. Love it! But, funny story, my 60-pound tortoise escaped from my house, and she happened upon him wandering down the middle of the street (such a smart creature). She stopped her car, managed to get him into her trunk, and brought him back to the ranch until he was found. Very thankful she rescued him and treated him so well! read more

I have my horse boarded at Jump For Joy and Linda is the best! I had a medical problem with my horse and Linda called the vet and stayed with me the whole time (hours). She goes above and beyond. I have just began riding again after many many years and Linda has been great-had a lesson with her (will be taking more) and is priceless when it comes to information and knowledge. I can't say enough. Really appreciate her and love all the stable mates I have met so far :~) read more

I love love love jump for joy. Linda is amazing! When I'm not in one of her wonderful lessons, I'm riding around in her golf cart. I'm a fourteen year old girl and Linda has changed my life! I feel apart of the ranch and I am never bored. I'm always turning out horses, riding and having a blast. My family has been to many other ranches and none of them can even compare to this one. It's clean, there's nice people, the lessons are spectacular (and affordable), boarding is great (also the cheapest you can find), there's plenty of arenas, and that's just a few perks of Jump for Joy. Linda has taken me under her wing and teaches me new things every day. I am constantly following her around the ranch! It's family friendly but quiet and pristine. I just can't say enough about this ranch! Basically this is the ranch to be and don't waste your time at any other ranch because you are eventually going to end up at Jump for Joy. (: it's my favorite place in the world, it's truly amazing. read more

Jump For Joy is still the best place to ride! Linda is a wonderful person and teacher. She is very patient with my daughter, who is now seven years old. This is a safe, pleasant atmosphere where the people are friendly. I can't imagine getting better instruction anywhere else. read more

Just had my first adult riding lesson and it was wonderful. Linda knows exactly how to teach in a way that gets results. Best lesson ever.

I have been boarding my horse at Jump for Joy for a while now and have had nothing but wonderful experiences there. There are numerous arenas and they are very well kept. The trail access is great and the trails are quiet and fun. I also take lessons with Linda and she is an AMAZING trainer! She has helped me get through very difficult obstacles with my horse and she has taught me many things that have greatly improved my riding. Above all Jump for Joy has a peaceful and friendly environment for both horse and rider. It is very comforting to know that when I cannot make it to the ranch my horse is in good hands! I have boarded and lessoned at many ranches and highly recommend Jump for Joy. read more

I love love love Jump for Joy!!! The lessons are amazing and very affordable. Linda is an amazing trainer and I have learned so much from her. We also board a horse at Jump for Joy and that is also very affordable. Everyone at the ranch is nice, there's plenty of diverse arenas, it's always kept clean and there are practically no flies, just to name a few of the perks at Jump for Joy. I would recommend this ranch to everyone, whether your looking to learn how to ride or board your horse. There's something for all riders of different experience levels. There is spectacular trail access as well! Linda and her ranch is amazing. I love it there. read more

My daughter took lessons here after a bad experience with another local barn. The owner/teacher is very knowledgeable and patient and made riding fun for my daughter again. When my daughter finally got her own horse we boarded here for several years. Nice and clean areas and covered arena really nice in the summer. Owner always very helpful and since we were first time horse owners I felt comfortable knowing I could ask her anything without feeling dumb. read more

I have been boarding my horse at Jump For Joy for a few years now and couldn't be happier! The facilities are AMAZING! Two round pens, one turn out pen, a jumping arena, a covered dressage arena, a hot walker, community tack rooms, several wash racks, and well kept grounds to name a few amenities. The stalls are cleaned daily and the horses are fed twice daily. The prices at Jump for Joy are extremely reasonable! The owner is always willing to hear and address any concerns you may have. She is a knowledgeable horse person who will always be watching out for the welfare of both you and your horse and is also an incredible teacher! She is comfortable teaching just about anyone to ride. I've seen her giving lessons to small children, to "green" adult riders, and even the seasoned rider can learn a thing or two from her. I've been riding for 15 years and still whenever I take a lesson with her, she is able to help me fine tune both me and my stubborn horse. (Her Lessons are also very reasonably priced) She takes pride in her facility and holds safety (for horse and rider) in the highest regard. I would recommend Jump For Joy to anyone who is looking for a calm, well-kept facility. read more
