My daughter, now 21, has ridden at Silent Night Stables (SKS) for 6 years. We just finished a horse…read moreshow now that my daughter is riding for fun as an adult. I got to watch Shannon work with her newest young riders. If you want not only a great environment for your kids to beome excellent riders, but also great women and men, SKS is the perfect place. No cookie cutter training, Shannon gets to know each rider and creates a plan to ensure they succeed. The kids learn to care for their horses and do the work necessary to bond with them. Her riders consistently win championships and improve with every ride. They never get yelled at. Shannon trains the Zone 7 IEA team and almost always goes to the finals in team and individual categories. I can't express enough, how much my daughter benefitted from riding with Shannon. She cares about each girl and she cares about the horses. Horses at SKS get the best care and get to enjoy turnout, which they love and need. I never worry about our horses. Shannon knows everyone and has helped us buy and sell horses and she knows what she is doing. SKS is in Krum, easy to get to, just off I-35. It is an easy drive for really excellent training and a family environment. And financially SKS is fair and very reasonable making it easier to pay for shows. My invoices are always accurate and on time and Shannon makes it all very easy! First barn we have been at where I don't have to reconcile every charge and wonder why my vet bill is so high. SKS is a great choice.

The boyfriend and I have come back now and this was our 2nd time coming to Marshall Creek Ranch! We…read morelove how laid back it is and.of course, the horses! The first time we came last year, they gave me the shortest horse because I was the shortest rider there! I rode Ziggy, and I was already attached. He's so cute-- I am a big David Bowie fan, so I have nicknamed him,"Mr. Stardust" LOL The first time we came, it had been some years since I had ridden a horse, and the same for the boyfriend. We did the easy walking trail ride-- this year we did the intermediate trotting trail and I asked to ride Ziggy again-- what can I say, I love him.. Although we were initially nervous for reservation cancellations due to the rain and being pushed back a day, they still had great communication as to whether or not we'd be able to have our trail ride. The respond via text message-- so be aware that if you call, they might not answer. The only time they DO call is when you're booking the reservation. It had been raining on and off and so they said the first time they were checking our specific trail, was when we were actually on it. We didn't get to trot as much as I wanted, but it was a little squishy in some areas. The staff is friendly and even take your photo at the end! My thing is that it is very hard to hear them talk when you're on the trail ride. It would be beneficial for them to carry a microphone or something.

Throughout the ride you will be going very slow and will be in the forest for about an hour. They charge you $1 per water bottle and certain staff have terrible attitudes. My experience was terrible and to top it off one of the staff members spoke the entire ride and I wasn't able to enjoy the scenery. I will definitely not be coming back.

I have been leasing a horse from Carol for 5 years at her Danville Barn. The property is beautiful…read morewith an arena overlooking the Danville/San Ramon valley and also Mount Diablo. She is very helpful, giving pointers whenever I need help and often rides with me in the mornings. I love training under her. Not only does she teach you how to ride but also why we ride the way we do and how it effects the horse. There has been many times over the years where I have been on my horse having a difficult time and she has patiently sat on the rail and coached me through it. She always makes sure that each rider and horse leave the arena on a good note. There are no short-cuts at her barn, everything we do is done the right way and the safe way.
