Horseshu Ranch is a steady supplier of needed goods and services, even during this challenging pandemic era. SJI is very lucky to have this working farm and it’s helpful and energetic staff. Thank you for the chickens and the good advice, Roxanne!

We stayed here on two occassions some time ago and loved the house, the owner was gracious, and the animals and the horses were fun to be around.

When we tried to book an experience with them, they used a generic BMI chart to tell us my husband and I were too overweight for their insurance to allow us to ride. They said we needed to be taller or smaller in order to ride, and that not following the chart causes accidents and liability from their insurance company. I've gone horseback riding at this weight and height before multiple times and have never heard this. We are 180 and 4'11" and 220 and 5'10" for reference.They then said they would check with their insurance company to see if there was anything she could do, and get back to us (this was Sunday and she said they'd call on Monday when the office was open). It's Friday, the day we would have had an appointment, and we never heard back. Guess we're too fat to ride on their property. We'll take our money elsewhere. I suggest if you are heavier set, or more muscular than average, that you do the same, as their BMI charts exclude you from pursuing their services.Dear owner, I see you generally respond to critical reviews, but there is no need. Seeing as you chose not to call us back, I don't see any reason for you to communicate with me here.

Worked for her for 3 years and the owner is so nice and sweet.

Funny, she thinks her high employee turnover rate is because "ranch work is hard." However, myself and 6 others quit over the lack of care provided to the animals within a couple of months, all of us who had moved from other states and other countries to work here. There's probably a reason nobody local will work for her anymore. Horses go months without hoof care, years without vet care, and are fed absolute garbage. Horses were put out on the trails that I would consider dangerous for beginners to be riding and some of the good trail ponies were put on the trail or lesson program multiple times a day, every day of the week.

We had a great time. The owner was so sweet, showing my kids all the fun animals on the ranch. We all had such a great time!

We love the Horseshu Ranch! My granddaughter helped out there this summer and gained so much confidence. Roxie and all of her helpers were amazing and especially accommodating. My granddaughter is counting the days until she is back in the saddle again in the SanJuan Islands at the Horseshu Ranch. If you have a young rider wanting to get onto a horse, by all means take them to Horseshu Ranch. They are excellent!

The horses are used for their business, yet they are left out in the fields without any protection from the elements. This last week alone, the horses were subjected to bitter cold winds, freezing temperatures, snow, rain and there they stood, in the fields with no shelter of any kind -- and their hay was dumped on the soggy ground. I drive past these horses every day, several times a day, and there has been no change. This is no way to treat these animals. They should at least have some kind of protection -- there are barns on property. Put them there if shelters can't be built.

We had the best time at Horseshu Ranch today! We took our daughter to do a lesson and a trail ride as part of her Christmas present, and we all ended up riding the trail! It was lots of fun and the entire staff was awesome and friendly! My daughter keeps asking to go back!

I've never been really enthusiastic around horses, but Rocky and her crew made for a great trail ride with horses who can be trusted, and I'm looking forward to the next ride. Thanks Horseshu!

Never go here the horses were lame and under fed.
