If you're thinking about booking a trail ride with Boarding on the Lake, do it--you won't regret…read moreit! My granddaughter and I chose the two-hour trail ride around Folsom Lake, and it exceeded every expectation. I've owned horses and have ridden extensively, so we came with experience and simply wanted to enjoy a beautiful morning ride together. Our guide, Will, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, personable, safety-conscious, and made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and cares about both the horses and his guests. The horses were well-mannered, the scenery around Folsom Lake was breathtaking, and the pace was perfect for taking it all in. The best part? The smile never left my granddaughter's face all day. Those are the kinds of memories that last a lifetime. Thank you, Will, for making our ride so special. We highly recommend Boarding on the Lake and can't wait to come back!

Marina was the guide and she did a great job. Bomba was the horse I had the pleasure to ride. He was a very fun horse and I just adored him. There were other people on the trail ride who did not have much experience but Marina was great helping them out while also making sure we didn't slow down. I recommend this place to everyone it's truly great.

The trainer who worked with us, Amy, is incredibly patient and kind. Her teaching style is so thorough and clear. She and the other trainers stress horsemanship -- you learn how to get your horse, tack them up, and you learn about the anatomy of the horse and so much more. It's not just a lesson where you jump on an already tacked up horse, ride, and go home. You truly get the full experience and the goal is to prepare you for a day when you might own your very own horse. The barn has a very welcoming and relaxed feel, everyone is so kind and wonderful. The lesson horses are also great! Whether you're an adult looking for lessons or you have kids who want to take lessons, I would definitely recommend checking out this place and trying it out. It's also amazing that they have access to Folsom Lake trails.

So wanted him conditioned for rides again. His feet were so long with shoes on crooked even though she was payed well. I received vet bills, horseshoeing bills and others all for treatment I never approved. I was appalled when I went to pick him up. She told me that she had to drug him to put shoes on! Insane! Thankfully I got him off of the property, but not before she had instilled so much fear in my horse and made him chronically lame with 3 months of bad foot care. Took months of retraining to get him back even close to his former self. I agree with other bad review. This woman has a nasty temper and beats horses. She touts TEVIS, but she doesn't seem to finish all that often. Stay away from her! Keep your horse safe!

After being with Janine my horse is easy to handle, well mannered and is great on the trail. I have completed 7 fifty mile endurance rides on my horse during our training with Janine. Since Janine conditions and trains my horse, it makes it easy for me do a 20 mile ride on the weekends. This is the only time I have to ride so it is very enjoyable to be able to go out on the trail for a nice long ride. I would highly recommend Janine Esler to train and condition your endurance horse. You will be glad you did.

You even said when you were leaving here that someone has to take the blame and it doesn't matter if it is true or not.
