My granddaughters had a wonderful experience here. They could not go on a trail ride due to their age. Christy the owner gave them a hands on experience by having them brush and clean her horse Dollar's hooves and then saddling up the horse and a ride around the arena.

Weve been riding with Christy for several years. If you want to learn horsemanship, Christy is extremely great. She will let you know what you are doing right AND doesnt hesitate to let you know what youre doing wrong either. That is what i love about being taught here. They are great people as well.

Despite her busy schedule, Christy accommodated our horse-loving kiddos while we were visiting the area. Her combination of respect for the horses and rapport with the kids allowed them to learn so much in a short time. Meeting Dollar and learning to lead, groom and ride a horse was the highlight of their trip! We are so grateful for the opportunity to spend time at Wood n' Horse, and highly recommend them to anyone wanting some quality time with horses.

My daughter has taken lessons from Christy for several years. You couldn't ask for a better instructor. She is incredibly professional, maintains the highest standards, is very knowledgeable, and is great with kids of all ages.

My boyfriend and I made a trip to Sequoia to celebrate our anniversary and we had a wonderful time trail horseback riding with Christy. We don't have any experience riding horses but she trained us before our ride to the scenic trail along the river. She is really such a sweetheart and I could tell she really loves and treats her horses like her children. I made our reservations over the phone and she kindly squeezed us a one hour trail ride in the evening even though she was booked up that weekend. She even took a nice photo for us! First payment is made through PayPal and pay the rest in cash when you arrive. Thank you for such a memorable and fun experience!

Unfortunately we had a disappointing experience today with a first lesson. The trainer was very rude when she spoke to the children, and then when it was my son’s turn to ride he literally was in the saddle for less than ten minutes. I love that brushing and saddling up the horse is part of the experience, but don’t shortchange the kids who are excited to ride a horse, while being rude to them. FYI I grew up competitively riding horses and owning them my entire life, and I’ve had at least 6 trainers in my lifetime, so I’m well aware of what this experience should have been. If you are looking for someone to be kind and encouraging to your child during a first lesson, I’d suggest trying another stable. She pretty much ruined my son’s first real riding experience for him. I hate leaving bad reviews, but I want to make sure no one else has this experience for first time riders. This may be a better fit for older and more seasoned riders - the horses were bombproof and looked well taken care of, and it was a cute facility, so I do give them props for that!

Thank you so much Christy, for taking us out trail riding for our Anniversary. My wife and I had a blast. We really appreciated the lessons you gave to us. It was very informative and really made me feel more comfortable in the saddle.

Trail ride was one of the best horse back riding experience my boyfriend and I ever had. This place really allows you to learn how to ride. Christy was out of town, so her husband Steve was our guide on our tour. My boyfriend had Cowboy and I had Dollar as our trail horses. Steve was a great guy, he talked to us the entire tour explaining to us the surrounding areas we were passing and about the horses. The highlight of our ride is when we got to cross the river and the water came up over our ankles. Water felt amazing especially on a hot day. Steve was in no hurry to get back, we took our time enjoying our ride even talked to some locals that we passed on our ride. He even offered us free Gatorade and water. And also showed us inside of the home to see all of Christy's accolades especially her many many ribbons. I highly recommend this place.
