We were six women ranging in age from 31 to 65. We had all ridden before, but for some of us it had been a while. The ranch personnel did a great job of matching us with their horses. After doing a food tour of Sonoma and of course some wine tasting, this was a nice way to see another side of Sonoma. After getting us on the horses and giving us a little safety talk, we spent about an hour and a half on the trail. There were some great views of the lake and a nice ride through the forest. The horses all had their own personality which kept this from being just another nose to tail trail ride. I would definitely recommend The Ranch at Lake Sonoma.
