5.00First ride for the day and our horses were ready. Emma was a great trail leader and both of our horses were responsive to her voice and familiar with the trail. This was an easy and scenic ride.
Wonderful experience

5.00We visited nearby for a couple of weekdays and this activity was the highlight of our time in Healdsburg. We had a 10am ride with 4 from our group, 2 additional riders, and 2 guides. It was chilly and overcast when we arrived but the sun came out and it was gorgeous! The guides were very helpful with tips on riding, and knowledge of the area. We stopped at a view point for a cute group photo. They had wifi at the ranch, beverages for purchase, and incredible views of the lake. Would highly recommend! It took a little while to get everyone on the horses, so plan an extra half hour or so from the expected timeframe. We never felt rushed, and it was a relaxing enjoyable experience!

5.00We had such a wonderful experience on our horse riding adventure in Sonoma! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this is a small, family-owned business that truly cares about their horses and their guests. Everyone was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming—especially with our kids, who were a little nervous at first. The horses were calm, well cared for, and perfectly matched to each rider’s experience level. Our guides took the time to explain everything and made sure everyone felt comfortable before heading out on the trail. The scenery was absolutely beautiful—rolling hills, peaceful vineyards, and that classic Sonoma countryside you hope to see. What made the experience extra special was the personal touch. You can tell this family takes pride in what they do, and they made us feel more like guests than customers. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip and something our whole family will remember. If you're looking for a relaxed, authentic horse riding experience in Sonoma with kind people and well-loved horses, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back!
Blink and you’ll think you're in Europe instead of 1.5 hours from SF.
