I have been riding at Janssen for a little over 2 years now and love it! The atmosphere is very…read morefamily-oriented, and the owner/trainer, Lesley, cares about all her students, clients and their horses. She has helped riding become fun again for me, as well as found me an excellent horse to call my own! Not only does she have a lot of outdoor space, the indoor arena is an absolute must have for any barn I ride at!! Janssen's is well maintained and insulated, and allows you to ride in even some of the worst winter weather. The footing is excellent as well. A little of my background: I've been riding on-and-off again for 25 years. I've owned several horses and been at a variety of barns. Janssen is definitely one of the top places I've been.

The family wanted to ride horses. They actually wanted to ride horses. Whew. Well thankfully…read morethere's a ranch right by us where you can do that. So check it. They brought the horses out and let the kids choose the horses. I like that because it was very interactive with them. Then they thoroughly went over instructions on how to ride & direct the horses. You can see the level of care that they have for the horses but also for the safety of the riders. I appreciated that so much. My kiddos are ready to go again! They loved it.

A horseback ranch in the middle of the city - definitely was surprised when I made a turn in the…read moremiddle of businesses and homes - and I ended up at a country ranch. Now this ranch is more than just Horseback Riding, they offer date nights, which is where you and your partner(or a few friends) take a ride around the ranch on the horses and end the night eating a candlelight dinner outside. They even attempt to cater to you when it comes to drink and/or alcohol beforehand. When we went, it was getting darker than normal, and close to pitch black by the end of the ride - they admitted they'd probably have to move the dinner nights earlier to compensate for the next date nights. Also don't rely on being able to obtain your group pictures - as we never saw ours get uploaded. But these friends who are turning this ranch, which has been passed down from family, into something new and different - are doing an amazing job. If you love horses or just being outside - and looking for a date night that is isn't your average Saturday, be sure to give Watkins Ranch a call.

Absolutely amazing!…read more I cannot wait to go back! It was everything I imagined from the simple booking process, to the dreamy atmosphere, and gorgeous trails they took us on! I will definitely be going back as often as I can! Thank you so so much!
