I am currently a boarder at Alpine Stables and have had no problems. It has proven to be a very…read morecommunity and family oriented barn for different horses, riders, and skill sets. Premium stalls include a large grassy turnout and enclosed stall, the next level is one of two sizes of enclosed stalls, the third of boarding is a 13 acre pasture which also has covered space. The owners, Valerie and Bob, are really great about making sure they meet all of their boarder's needs. To do so they also create a more "custom" housing. For owners of multiple horses they create larger pens or paddocks - with or without cover- based on the unique needs of the horses. Riding wise, you have a standard round pen, grassy area with obstacles, a large arena, and a smaller arena. A second covered round pen is available but is sometimes in use for the 7 day quarantine all new horses are subject to when moving into Alpine Stables. Trailer parking is free. There are tons of chairs and tables and grassy areas for families to hang out. Most weekends there are tons of families around relaxing and watching the riders. Again, very family oriented barn. The new barn manager, Rochelle is excellent has brought much attention to detail, new services, and horse experience to the place. Randy is equally as great with a "can-do" attitude and experience. I personally enjoy Alpine Stables because of the friendliness of the boarders. Everyone is constantly sharing and helping each other, just genuinely enjoying horses as they are meant to be enjoyed. Personally, I have always enjoyed boarding at my own home away from people but I find myself being excited to go to the barn and ride with the new friends I have made.

I've been taking my endurance horse to be trimmed and shoed by Kirk Adkins for three years now and…read moreit's been great all around. He has 40 years of experience as a farrier and has seen the good, the bad and the ugly - and has used the knowledge he has gained to develop a great product, the "sneaker." These shoes work so well for my mare that I'll probably never go back to anything else. Kirk is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to a horse's anatomy and physiology and can come up with a plan very specific to your horse's needs and discipline. He does not have a one-size-fits-all approach at all and takes pride in doing an excellent job. I can highly recommend him.

My friends and I just finished our scuba certification course with Scott and Lynn in Brentwood (for…read morepool dives) and Monterey (ocean dives). I'd give them 6 stars if I could! They're true professionals, very passionate about diving, and focused on safety. They made sure that we felt comfortable in the water, took time to explain everything with patience and care, and never cut any corners. They also accommodated our busy schedules. I would follow their recommendation and spread out the lessons. Scuba is an intense workout, and consolidating everything into two weekends was more taxing than we thought. Scott, Lynn - hope to dive with you again soon!

You get classroom sessions, pool sessions, and open water check-out dives. He'll cut you a sweet deal on equipment, too. 100% win, even if you are a sucky diver like I am.

It's interesting to do and we have walked through many times. Just as enjoyable, though, are the nature areas just before the hatchery and the river access. We like to come here to enjoy the sounds of the water and take short walks with our dog. It's really a lovely place to stop for an hour or two and just enjoy the peace and quiet. The trails are very short but they do have picnic tables and we have enjoyed a nice lunch here by the lake as well. I think a more fitting name would be the Mokelumne Fish Hatchery and nature area because we happened upon this location by chance but I am so glad we did. We probably make the drive here 3-5 times a year and it is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Needs some love and attention…read more Elk Grove has so many top tier public parks that an average park really gets dinged for having the basics. Location: Just nestled within Black Kite Drive and vanity woods, a small park nestled inside the community not meant for sports or anything big but for parents down the road. Amenities: There is a set of picnic tables, a small playground and an open area for kids to play This park is really doing its best but as one of the older parks it doesn't have any theme like the parks on the west side of town or newer developments. It would be great of the city to update some of these older parks as opposed to just all the new developments. Hope that the city provides some much needed updates!

Hrepich Park is a small neighborhood park located in the City of Elk Grove "West Vineyard". The…read morepark is only 1.5 acres in size and is part of the Cosumnes Community Service District. The park was named after Paul and Dorothy Hrepich. Paul and Dorothy were both born and raised in the Elk Grove Area. Growing up, Pauls love of busses led him to a career as a bus driver for the Elk Grove Unified School District, Instructor for the California Highway Patrol Academy, and served 19 years as Director of Transportation Safety for the Elk Grove Unified School District. Paul and Dorothy were both recognized for their contributions to making the City of Elk Grove a better place to live ! The park has a play area for older kids as well as younger children. It also has an shaded picnic area with picnic tables. There are also a few benches along the walkway. The open space area is quite small , may-be large enough to throw a frisbee or football around. I would rate this park as average compared to other parks in the Elk Grove area. Not worth driving out of your way to visit !

She wouldn't let my husband get out of the chicken coop when he was feeding our chickens. I was referred to Windward Natural Equine Center by an unprofessional trainer trying to help me with my beautiful filly . I was learned that I was the one that needed training to . Sierra my Fillies trainer works with me and Stormy together And I'm so excited to say Sierra is magic, consistent, punctual, so gifted with her training techniques. It's a God thing.I highly recommend Sierra and the amazing stable .They keep her stalls cleaned and it's a wonderful place to board your horse and for training. The owner Sandy is amazing and really helpful to me . She also gives riding lessons . Thank you all that work at the stable too! Dean ,Andy & Bob.. 5 stars plus for Windward Natural Equine Center . Thank you so very much! Suzanne
