You don't just get on and ride. You learn grooming, saddling, all the equipment, the names of everything, and how it all works together.

I can't say enough good things about my own experience here, as well as what I've witnessed in the youth who ride and train at the ranch. The training is hands-on, respectful, and rooted in real horsemanship--not shortcuts or quick fixes. It builds a strong foundation and truly teaches you how to work with the horse. I've gained so much from this place. I've seen huge growth in myself, not just in my riding, but in confidence, discipline, and overall mindset. This ranch is something special--and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. So if you're looking to take lessons or board your horse - this is definitely the place!

Ray and his son Austin were patient, kind, and made her feel completely at ease. She started off shy, but Ray kept high-fiving her every time she reached a little milestone, and you could just see her light up. By the end, she was smiling ear to ear and so proud of herself. Hashbrown was the perfect horse for her--gentle, and so sweet!! We'll definitely be back!

I just want to give a HUGE shout-out to Moonshadow Farms boarding facility here in Norco. This time…read morelast year, we were having weight loss problems at another facility and decided to move our horse. The difference in her coat, weight, and energy level has made me so happy that we moved when we did. Moonshadow has taken such good care of our girl and we are so grateful for them. If you're ever in the market for a good boarding facility, check them out to see if they have any openings. Good food, large stalls, happy horses, and loving owner/operators. Thanks for everything, Moonshadow!! We love it here!

I'm not sure it's exactly like riding a bike--but Karen made me feel completely at ease from the start. Kiwi, my horse, was incredibly patient and gentle with me. I swear she knew I needed a little extra TLC! It made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. I even got to do a tiny bit of trotting, which was such a fun bonus. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to try horseback riding or get back into it!

10/10 would NOT recommend boarding here. I boarded here for 2 years. The owners are very aggressive…read moreand they can make your time at the barn extremely uncomfortable when they want to. I've witnessed them go after MANY boarders and be aggressive and harsh when conflict could have been avoided. We also struggled with keeping weight on our horses at this barn. They do not feed according to weight (as you MUST with horses) and it really took a negative toll on our two mares. Avoid this place if you can. Not all it's cracked up to be for sure. Protect your horses and keep them far away from here.

Melissa did not take this into account when teaching my daughter. She would give her several verbal cues at one time which would overwhelm my daughter. She also seemed and get irritated and continued to focus on what my daughter was doing wrong and not praising or encouraging what she did correctly. I never received a response from Melissa which is extremely unprofessional. I've also seen her texting on her phone during a session which is very unsafe. I canceled my remaining sessions and will not be returning. I regret spending my funds on this experience since my daughter seems to have zero confidence now.
