My boyfriend and I took a horseback ride here for my birthday weekend and had an incredible time. Their newly renovated barn is beautiful and all the horses are very handsome, gentle, and kind. They really took our experience levels into consideration when assigning us horses, which I especially appreciated, as my boyfriend has no riding experience and I took lessons for three years. You can't beat the views! Our first time in Sonoma, this was a wonderful chance to take in views of the lake and wildlife. We ventured into a redwood grove, chaparral type community, and got a practically 360 view of the mountains/vineyards surrounding the mountain. Our guide was so informative and it was a really wonderful getting to see a family run business in our day and age! She took pictures of us riding with my phone as we went on the trail (no extra fee whatsoever!) and did a superb job. My boyfriend and I came out of the experience with photos (and memories!) we will treasure for a long time to come. Can't wait to come here again soon! Thank you all for such a wonderful time! We loved it! I definitely suggest if you're on the fence due to the drive or any other factor - DO IT. The drive to the ranch was beautiful and an exciting/charming experience in itself. It made a horse lover of my boyfriend and he's already talking about how he can't wait for his next ride! Thanks!
