2008-09-12 11:56:26   I ride at Pine Trails Ranch and find it to be very nice there. Every one is really nice and its easy to feel at home. they give lessons that are about 2 hours long for good prices. They have 5 pastures that are big and are watered. There are 2 trails on the ranch, the perimeter trail and the half perimeter trail. Pine Trails lives up to its name, there are lots of Pine trees. 3 arenas, one is covered and the other two are HUGE and outdoor. The barns have really clean, nice stalls and the horses will sick their headsout for a treat. There are two ranch dogs that are very friendly and won't get into the way. They take the lessons slowly and their horses are trained fairly well. Although they can be a bit touchy if you are late, its a place I would love to live FOREVER! —lilitraw

The emphasis is NOT on showing or competing, and students move very slowly. After a certain level, you really can't learn any more from the lessons, which are little more than pony rides. If you want to show or compete, look elsewhere. Also, it is primarily a lesson stable for children, so it's not an ideal boarding stable. —quarabaloosa

I took this sport up as a 45 year old, learned to ride, and bought an amazing horse from the ranch. The instructors are terrific and the environment is very supportive and encouraging. The other rider/clients of the ranch are a wonderful group of people. This is a great place for kids and adults as well (and for adults that sometimes wish they were kids) —kellyg

2009-09-26 15:08:44   Ummm...seriously? People like this place? Maybe we are talking about two different Pine Trails- because the one I viewed had trash on the grounds, a bunch of skinny horses, some scary-looking enclosures.... why would anyone want to keep their horses there? A real let-down from the website for me, which made it look like a nice place with grass in the turnouts and happy horses- not horses crowded on bone-dry land with poo all over and flies swarming. Yuck- no thanks. It's not like I was expecting the Ritz, but some basic good horse care would be nice. Who cares if there are lots of arenas if your horse is thin and miserable? —imjustjoking22
