I've enjoyed my time at this facility. My mare is very happy, I enjoy the community, and I…read moreespecially appreciate the flexibility this barn has to offer. I am allowed to bring in and store my own food (orchard grass from Higby's) with the standard stall rate and have arranged for fan service for a fee (Matt graciously installed the fan in my mare's stall) so my mare gets TLC when it is hot. The stalls (x-small wood chips covered + matted paddock) are kept very clean, with someone coming to remove manure at least twice a day. It is a busy barn with some boarded horses and a many lesson horses, so it is easy to arrange for someone to help blanket and provide grain to my mare, daily. The owners live at the barn so there is someone keeping an eye on horses 24/7. I have learned so much from my trainer CeCe who has a background in eventing. I feel safe during our sessions, and she takes the fitness level and soundness of my horse into consideration. Pine Trails offers large number of lessons weekdays after school and weekend mornings, so it can become a very busy during these times, but my mare enjoys the higher level of activity at this barn and would be bored otherwise! I generally ride during the late evenings and there are usually at least one or two people out and about for company. During the hot days of summer, there is the option of riding your own horse at the coolest hours of the day. As mentioned before I truly appreciate the flexibility Michelle, the owner, offers. Arena lights are on until 10PM. The footing in the four arenas is sand, crushed walnut shells, or a combination of both, watered once a day and dragged a few times a week. Ivan, a local farrier, is wonderful and comes to the barn every week, so arranging appointments is easy. The barn-cats, dog, geese, ducks, and many other animals are a fun bonus to the experience.

I took my granddaughter to the 'Ponies and Pumpkins' fundraiser yesterday (10/20/24). We walked to…read morethe barn where the animals were, and when we tried to enter, one of the girls (had a blue TROTR t-shirt on) abruptly said, "Where's your ticket?" I told her that I didn't know we needed tickets and she told me I had to go to the booth by the food trucks if I wanted to enter. Ok. My granddaughter and I walked towards the other section and decided to stop at the 'Authentic Tacos' truck to get bottled waters (it was warm outside). I said, "Hi!" to the guy at the open window, who barked, "We aren't taking any more orders!" I said that I just wanted a couple of bottles of water, he said, "Yeah, I guess" and got the two bottles. He stood there holding them until I asked how much, I gave him $4, and said thank you, but he didn't say anything. Next, we went to the ticket booth, a woman sitting there said, "What do you need?"...not "hi", " hello" or any type of greeting, just, "What do you need?" I said that we wanted to see the animals in the barn, she ripped off 4 tickets, and said, "$20". Ok. We walked back to the barn, saw about 10 animals, and left. The teens swept right in front of us without an "excuse me". What happened to teaching manners? The only friendly person was the woman at the entrance who made us sign waivers. First and last time supporting that local nonprofit! I apologized to my granddaughter and we went to Home Goods for some much-needed retail therapy.

I really wanted her to have a good experience with her first riding class ever and Fran exceeded all expectations. She was so kind and gentle in teaching my daughter and extremely patient. She helped my daughter feel confident and excited for her lesson. My daughter was sad to leave she had so much fun and has been counting down the days until her next lesson! You can tell Fran is a natural teacher and nurturer with children. All the horses at the barn are so beautiful, healthy and happy because of Fran's dedication, hardwork and passion about what she does. There is truly no better instructor out there!

I like Davis. This is the fifth time I've been here, second time I've been here a week or more…read morewhere I could travel around and get to know it. I encounter nice people, very little bad language, especially considering it usually a town of young people, lots of interesting restaurants and stores, easy distance from Sacramento and San Francisco, good theater and concert venues, several movie theaters for such a small town, a good selection of motels, car rentals and basic amenities. The weather gets pretty hot in the summer but now in June it's just perfect to me. Lake Tahoe and Reno are not that far, there are small shopping centers in town and larger ones within a half hour drive. And it's a really pretty town to drive around in. About the only thing it's missing is the ocean! I'll be sorry if my daughter moves away from this area because then I won't have an excuse to visit here and it's pretty far from San Diego to travel to without a strong motivation. I appreciate having the opportunity to enjoy it as much as I have though.

I think it's kinda pricey cause a season pass to raging waters is cheaper than that. I ended up having to come back and told them how they messed up, they were able to fix the problem and enrolled them in the right class. They were pretty nice about everything too. They offer a variety of classes for kids and adults during the summer and the prices are very reasonable. From sports, cooking, yoga, and kid quest..they have almost everything! Many fun activities to enjoy during the summer.

They teach you how to saddle up the horse, you have your lesson then you unsaddle the horse and brush it down. With the monthly package the kids get one day of where they go to the barn and do fun horse related stuff and learn more about horses. And the prices are reasonable. And there is a seating area for the parents to watch the lesson. There has been a couple times where it was hard to reach someone by phone to set up a lesson, which is frustrating. But that is my only complaint. Overall, my step daughter loves it there. She learned how to jump this summer and thinks its great! She likes it and we will continue going as long as she's enjoying it. I would recommend to anyone!
