I tried to schedule a trail ride with this stable and a) it took a very long time for anyone to get back to me. When they did text me, they got the weekend I was trying to book incorrect. When I corrected them with an additional text I didn't hear back. So I called and left a message and didn't hear back. After 5 days I texted again and finally got someone to respond. When I spoke to the employee, she was very rude and curt and wouldn't let me explain our situation. She kept cutting me off with a negative answer for why they couldn't accommodate my group. Super unprofessional and now I've got a very disappointed group who was looking forward to a trail ride. Good luck to anyone trying to book with this stable!

My grandchildren are here visiting from Florida and this was going to be their big adventure before they went back. I booked a trail ride for us in April 2023 to assure a reservation. I've been telling them all week that we were going horseback riding. Today, August 4, 2023 is our scheduled trail ride... it is a couple hours before we are suppose to arrive and I just recieved a message that they wont be able to do the trail ride... they cancelled 2 hrs before we were to arrive. My grandchildren's hearts are broken and I am sick to my stomach. Thanks Mt Madonna Stables... way to go

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My experience at Mt. Madonna Stables for a horseback trail ride was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, it was an adventure filled with awe-inspiring scenery and well-trained horses. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride.The trail itself was breathtaking, taking us through lush forests and rolling hills that provided stunning vistas. The horses were gentle, well-cared for, and seemed to enjoy the ride just as much as we did! The guides were not only attentive but also shared interesting facts about the area and its history, making the journey even more enriching.Whether you're a seasoned rider or a beginner, Mt. Madonna Stables caters to all levels, making it the perfect activity for families and friends. The memories made during this ride will stay with me forever. I cannot recommend this experience enough, and I'll definitely be back for more rides in the future! Thank you, Mt. Madonna Stables, for an unforgettable adventure! ??

Such a great experience. Visited before the crazy rain falls. Called the number on website to schedule and it was super easy and convenient. Arrived at location following their very detailed instructions on website, greeted by Jessica who was also the tour guide. Was fit for safety items and horse and got started on trail. Amazing views, great info by guide.

They never answer the phone nor return phone calls. It makes me believe they are no longer open for business.

Amazing place with beautiful location and of course horses! Kat our guide did an exceptional job and is knowledgeable about what she does. Looking forward to visit again. I loved getting to know Dixie and so impressed with her patient demeanor. Thank you!

Wonderful experience!It was the first time on horses for my kids and they absolutely had the best of time. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jessie, our instructor was very cool and wonderful with the kids. They now want to take weekly classes. The trail was so gorgeous, through the redwoods in scenic paths as the golden afternoon light shines through the trees. Thank you so much Jessie for the great experience, we will be back!

We had such a nice ride with our guide Jesse last Friday. She was so pleasant and made the ride very easy for my girlfriend and I. We are both over 50 and had not ridden in quite a few years. I rode Kool and she rode Rain. The horses were good with our commands. I will definitely be back.

I took my son here for his very first trail ride. This was such a great experience for him! Our guide was so patient and helpful. She took the time to really reach out to him on his level to get the instructions. Besides the friendliness, the horses and scenery were beautiful. We'll definitely be back.

BEWARE: if you’re planning on visiting the stables for a trail ride, make sure to receive a confirmation in writing or risk the owner claiming she never received your voicemail, messages or a call from you in their call log. Seriously, my teenage daughter thought that excuse was pathetic. Voicemails and text messages don’t go missing, especially when someone leaves more than one. How about three? I was told she would only accept cash, which in hindsight was a red flag to begin with. There are several horseback riding alternatives within 45 minutes.

It was my late birthday present. The place is busy and we did have to book a month ahead. Due to the pandemic, they don't hold trail rides for multiple groups together right now, which was really perfect. For the same price, it was a private trail ride for me and my husband. Mery was a wonderful tour guide, and she did a really nice introduction of how to communicate the basic commands to the horse before we went on the trail. Dolly, the horse I got to ride was somewhat lazy and was looking around so I got to exercise the basic commands of "go left" go right" "slow" "go" "stop" during the trail, which was fun! She took a lovely photo of us at the end on the trail. I'd love to go back again, hopefully again when we can do a private trail ride. My husband said he'd wanna do a longer ride next time!Thank you!

The experience here was one I will look forward to sharing with my daughter one of these days, when she's old enough to ride that is. Good down to Earth people you will enjoy the company with along the trails, and well trained horses with unique personalities that will make the journey entertaining. Great way to shake off that cabin fever from cOVID-19 stay at home/ work at home orders and clear one's mind while be surrounded by the natural beauty of Mount Madonna's Forest. Definitely would recommend to friends and family for a fun adventure.
