Upper management is completely awful, unhelpful, rude and condescending. They act as if they hate their patrons and their jobs.

It's like they go out of their way to make anything as complicated and inconvenient as possible. Ruins the experience for sure.

The other trainers are all awesome as well as I have been watching them all while I am here once a week. My daughter also did the summer camp and had a blast. There are other Horse facilities closer to me but I felt this was better training and opportunities then just riding a horse and going home. I highly recommend.

Extremely Disappointed - Unprofessional, Unethical, and Unresponsive!…read more I'm writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with Nohl Ranch Saddle club; previously known as Anaheim Hills Saddle Club. After paying $2000 upfront, I was only there for two days before deciding to leave for another ranch due to the owner's rude, racist and unprofessional behavior. On my second day, the owner spoke to me in a disrespectful and condescending manner, making me feel entirely unwelcome. When I decided to leave, I requested my $2000 back, as I had barely utilized their services. Shockingly, they refused to issue a refund. Left with no other option, I took the matter to court. The judge ruled fully in my favor, yet despite the legal decision, they have failed to respond or return my money. This shows a blatant disregard for both their customers and the law. I strongly advise anyone considering this club to be aware of their unethical business practices. My experience has been deeply frustrating, from the poor treatment I received to the lack of accountability and professionalism in resolving the situation. Additionally, I did my research and found a large history of extremely horrendous behavior from the owners, management and staff. I posted in an Orange County Equestrian Facebook Forum and had an overwhelming 40+ individuals reach out with horrid stories from boarding here. Boarders beware! Avoid this place at all costs!

I decided to write a review regarding the horseback riding lessons at this wonderful stable and I…read moremust say, it has been an incredible experience for my daughter Delilah. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcome and at ease. The instructor, Laura, was knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain everything in detail and ensuring that my daughter feels comfortable before getting on the horse. The horses themselves were well-trained and gentle, making it easy for a beginner like my daughter to learn the basics of riding. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with a spacious arena for practicing different exercises and techniques. Throughout the lessons in these past 6 months we have see the improvement and how she is gaining confidence with each ride. Laura provides helpful feedback and guidance, pushing Delilah to challenge herself and try new things. Overall, I highly recommend taking horseback riding lessons at this stable. I read a recent review left by someone claiming that the staff here are not kind or welcoming to minorities. This has never been the case for us as we are Mexican. So that statement is far from being true. I highly recommend this place to all who are looking to start horseback riding. My daughter is 14 and looks forward to her classes with Laura and her favorite horse, Skylar. Thank you so much! Best, Delilah's parents

This is a great riding center. Trainer Laura is amazing and she is so great with the students. She is patient and really teaches. All the school horses are are great and very well taken care of.. They teach/train all levels, from beginners to advanced. My daughter's riding has improved so much since starting here and she loves it. The pricing is very reasonable and I think you get so much more vs other riding schools/centers we've been too. All the staff is attentive and courteous. The barn area is always clean and organized. There are quite a few riding schools in the area and we checked them out. I am so happy we landed here. We love FFF!

I contacted Lynn because I wanted to get instruction and have a positive trail experience with an expert. Lynn exceeded my expectations! My own horse is boarded at another stable, so I was matched with a safe and experienced trail horse belonging to Lynn's assistant. My lessons started with a short introduction to my horse in the arena followed by a short trail ride. Subsequent lessons took us farther into the trail system. Lynn knows the trails like the back of her hand and chose trails that challenged me but did not overface me. She freely shares her extensive knowledge about trail riding technique, trail etiquette, and safety. We saw lots of beautiful scenery. Encounters with deer, mountain bikes, hikers, courting peacocks, squealing children in trees, and joggers with mylar balloons all came off without incident, thanks to Lynn and Star, the perfect trail horse. Lynn offers private instruction, group lessons, and horse care. I had a great experience and recommend Strand Training Center without reservation!
