I found Korobi Stables in the "101 Best Things to Do in Humboldt County" and was completely 100 % satisfied. When I arrived at the stable I was greeted with a firm hand shake and a bright smile. My horse was saddled up and ready to go. I might add that the mare I was set to ride was in beautiful condition. I have horse experience so I know what one should look like. Chexx had a gorgeous clean coat (she shined like a new penny) and was dressed in nice clean equipment (saddle etc). The shoes on her feet were in great condition are clearly done on a regular basis. She also had a kind and peaceful look about her. I opted for the 2 hour Redwood ride in which you need to travel away from the stable down the 101. I rode with the owner and her assitant, which was very pleasent. They were friendly and knowledgable. When we arrived my guides gave me a quik rundown on how my horse operates. They made sure I knew the "go" and "whoa" commands and that I knew how to steer before they mounted their own horses and we set off on the greatest adventure of my life. The scenery was beautiful! My guides were tolerant of me stopping and taking pictures even getting off their horses and taking pictures of me! Lunch was provided, as the owner had discussed with me my dietary options the day prior, and it was fabulous! This was a custom trail ride and was I would recommend this stable to all my friends and will be visiting again soon! Thanks to the cowgirls at Korobi Stables, you girls are the best! read more

I moved my horse to the stables after meeting Kim while buying a trailer from her friend. I hadn't even seen the place before moving my horse, but from the friendly attitude and warm smiles I got I knew this place was right. Unfortunately, I was only there for a month since I was moving out of the area. That doesn't stop me from going back. Every time I am in town I stop by and am greeted with smiles and hugs. I always try to squeeze in a ride with them if possible. Also, when I come up for a couple days or longer and bring my horse he is always welcome. I think he enjoys being with his old friends and the people he knows and loves. I have yet to go on a ride in the redwoods but I plan on doing that soon, I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Whether you are looking for a place to keep your horse where you know it will be well looked after or you have no prior experience and just want to get some riding time, this is the place to go. read more

Our family began our experience at Korobi Stables with no horsemanship skills and high expectations. We arrived to well kept stable grounds surrounded beautiful fields of grass and alfalfa. The smell of the cool fresh river and hot yellow flowers in the fields complemented the classic wooden stables. My eyes were met first by a handsome young horse, his warm eyes and long eye lashes drew a smile on my face. Then we were welcomed into the grounds by a knowledgeable and professional staff with equally warm smiles. From 9yrs old to 71yrs old, the five of us rode with confidence through fields of grasses along side the river. Each of us received a tailored instruction before the ride, and was accompanied by very confident and fun staff. We each felt a personal connection to each horse and staff member as we all walked together along our path. The horses are very well kept and friendly. The staff is very knowledgeable, caring, and fun. Thanks Kim, Joe, and Mindy! read more

Wow! Casey took my wife and I on a beautiful ride winding through old growth redwoods off of Mattole road. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate on our honeymoon! My wife is an experienced rider, yet I'm a novice. To accommodate us, Casey set us up with the right pair of horses to keep things interesting for my wife and safe for me. The trails were a perfect mix of easy flats through the forest and some steeper, windier sections. I learned a ton and feel much more comfortable on these majestic animals now. Casey and Kenneth were incredibly kind and supportive (like, way above and beyond! ). Kim was responsive and communicative over email and on the phone (she helped me arrange this ride **as a surprise** for my wife). We're so stoked to have had Korobi Stables play such a key role in honeymoon! Cheers!! read more

We had an amazing experience horseback riding with Joe! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. His knowledge of the horses and the trails was impressive, and it was clear how much he genuinely cares about both the animals and his guests. The ride itself was beautiful, relaxing, and so much fun. Joe was patient, friendly, and took the time to make sure everyone felt confident, regardless of their riding experience. The horses were well cared for, gentle, and a pleasure to ride. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we made some wonderful memories. If you're looking for a great horseback riding experience with an experienced and personable guide, we highly recommend Joe. We can't wait to come back and ride with him again! Thank you, Joe, for such a memorable adventure! read more

I have been a long time client of Korobi Stables. I have gotten lessons for myself and my kids, boarding and training for my horses, and trail rides. It is always a safe and professional environment. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Their lesson and trail horses are well behaved, know their jobs and are beautiful animals that are obviously well cared for. I love boarding at KS because they will turn my horses out and have blanket service. Any grain or supplements (I provide) that my horses need is also given to them. A lot of stables don't offer these services. Great place to head out and ride from also, lots of beautiful trails virtually in their backyard! read more

We had a wonderful experience in our beginning riding class. One of our granddaughters had previously had a bad experience with her scout troup on a riding outing elsewhere and was very nervous, but her instructor, Anna, was very patient and kept her on a lead-line until she was comfortable. The horses were paired well for each of us and we were given good, solid instructions. The staff knows their horses very well and want's the riders to have a good experience. Next time we will try a trail ride! read more

Kim and her staff really show a great love of animals . It comes through with the way the horses respond to the riders. I don't ride that often but I have been to other stables and we had a horse when I was a kid. These are the first horses that reacted any way like the horse we had that we loved so much. I believe that it is the love that the horses receive that makes them warm up to people so well. If you are a novice or a seasoned rider you will be greatly pleased with this experience. read more

Highly recommend! My partner and I went on the trail ride as a birthday celebration and it was absolutely wonderful. Kim was amazing and taught us hands on with such ease that even though we hadn't ridden in years we felt extremely comfortable. The horses were sweet, charasmatic, and great listeners which made it even better to learn/ride! Not to mention her staff and Kim herself were so welcoming. The views were breathtaking as well! 10/10 recommend :) read more

This is not your typical tourist trap horse back riding experience! This is the real deal! 100% the highlight of my trip and I squeezed as much as I could!

Beautiful horses very well taken care of exceptionally well trained! This is truly an unforgettable experience and worth every penny do not miss this! read more

The first time I ever went to Korobi Stables I was welcomed with smiles and kind words. It soon became an environment that I now spend my weekends at, along with a few days during the week. Everyone always has a smile on there face and willing attitude to help, teach, and learn. The horses are beautiful, well taken care of, treated the correct way, and are all loved. They all know their job, and they love to do it, and it shows. read more

Kim is an extraordinary woman and provides an amazing experience. I was reluctant to go on this ride, because I usually find it boring when all the horses do is follow each other. But Kim made sure that we took the lead with the horses and taught us basic commands. We were able to trot, and go down a less trodden path. It was such a beautiful, exciting experience and it was a highlight of our trip. read more

Took the family there and had such a wonderful time. The people who work there are super friendly and knowledgeable. They tell you all about the different horses and the farm. You can tell they really love their jobs. They instruct you about how to handle the horses and what to do in different situations. It was a beautiful trail ride. We will definitely be coming back. read more

This was a really nice ride. Kim was a great guide and her horses were awesome, very well trained. We enjoyed that this was a more adventurous ride than your regular head to tail trail rides, perfect if you have a little experience with horses. You won't be bored on this ride. Thanks Korobi Stables, this is just the kind of ride we were hoping for! read more

Sent my daughter and her mother on trail ride and when they got home hours and hours of stories and laughter about the dogs antics and how nicely the grounds were taken care of.

Very well trained horses, friendly knowledgeable staff. Beautiful trail rides; either near the barn or taken by trailer to redwood forest to ride.
