Ridge Valley Stables, Inc

Went for an hour trail ride, part was in the sun and part was shady in the woods. I loved the horse I rode and they matched my husband up with a good horse for his skillet. Very friendly guide. Will go again and highly recommend.

Went out for a girls fun day and did horse back riding. What an amazing time. Becky was amazing with her experience and provided detail instructions during the ride. I was paired with an amazing horse, jasper. The trail was beautiful and I enjoyed the scene and learning background info on some parts of the woods, especially the whale. It was an amazing time and would love to come back in the future.

Had an awesome trail ride on a beautiful mare! Just me an Beckytrail guide had a great ride together! I will definitely be going back! I suggest doing at least a little bit of research about riding horses before you go on any trail rides! They have brains it’s not like riding a four-wheeler through the woods so having respect for the horse is really important!

Our guide who was first in line, leading us through the trails, hit his horse twice on the neck as we were riding. This wasn't just a hit, it was a strong slap I guess he did this to stop his horse from running??, and then as we closer to the stables towards the end of the ride, the tour guide then punched really hard his horse in the head.

Disgraceful facility and "business". It is not well managed at all and is a joke. Several horses are very thin and still being used for trail rides and pony parties. My own horse that I boarded here was being starved and when I asked the barn owner about it, he became irate and called me out of my name. He is forgetful and unstable. The barn workers are unreliable and don't know much about horse care. They caused my horse to develop chemical burns due to ignorance and ignoring my instructions. I also have reason to believe my horse was being used without my knowledge. A horrible experience altogether.

I have very fond memories from this place from decades ago and had to come back for a beautiful ride. I've always loved how down-to-earth and comfortable Ridge Valley Stables is. Never been a "show horse" kind of girl. Scruffy and happy is fine by me. Horses were perfect. Scenery was just as lovely as I remember-- lots of wildlife, too. Becky took great care of us, welcoming us, even helping to retrieve my wallet that had fallen out. I tipped her, of course. Wonderful to see Terry still around. Hope it lasts another 50 years!

Went on the trail ride 10/2/22 with 3 other family members. I had very limited riding abilities and have had some not so fun trail rides in the past so was very very nervous. We had Becky as our guide and she made us all feel very safe and comfortable before we even left! This was the best ride I have ever had and we cannot wait to go back!!

Do not come here…no management…we had booking for 3.30 pm and came here on time…we were informed to wait 45 mins…….this place has no management and no service and no schedule!

Highly Recommended from a family of 4 reconnected with Each other & Nature on some Beautiful Horses, Happy to be out in the woods on the trails; great Stable hands and Guide. so Thank you.. Just what we needed! from all of us Downey's
