The Family Ranch

"For someone who is an experienced rider. It’s a bit difficult finding a good place to ride. I decided to see what it would be like riding with Stephanie and it was a fun experience. We rode down south at a state park and still got to have some fun moments on the ride. Stephanie knows how to match up a rider with a horse and I got to ride Old Man but he doesn’t feel like and old man, sure footed and reliable. I’ll be riding again in the future and feeling relaxed on a ride means a lot for me and simply being able to relax and enjoy means a lot to me. Stephanie provided that."

"My mother and I decided to try the lesson and trail riding bundle and the entire experience was one of the best I’ve had in years. Stephanie was friendly and professional but still managed to make us feel like family , and the trails were the epitome of PNW beauty. I can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to go back for my next visit in town!"

"I love taking my daughter here! The people who are apart of this ranch, have all been very kind and helpful with learning more about the horses and riding. I encourage looking into having them take you on a trail and giving you lessons."

"I met Stephanie and her family a little over two years ago by doing vendor events at the ranch, thru my cousin. Their vendor events are amazing!! I fell in love with Stephanie and her kids, and I have come to count them as part of my family now. While I didn't have any horses, I love being out there and around them. I have watched Stephanie for all that time with the ranch's animals. I saw nothing but the best care for her boarding animals as well as her own. From amazing animals, she cared for to the rescues she took in and her own horses. Sleeping in the barn to nurse a sick animal, she makes sure they are well fed, watered, and have clean stalls. If an animal arrives sickly, she will do her best to get that animal back into the best version it can be. She truly is an amazing person that really cares for her animals and people. Her girls are just as caring. And to think, she is doing this pretty much by herself and a few helpers all while also raising her 5 amazing kids. It wasn't until today, that I decided to take riding lessons from Stephanie. Wow! She is so patient and explains everything in a simple, logical manner, from preparing a horse for riding (warm-up, brushing, saddling, and bridling) to proper mounting and dismounting techniques. I felt comfortable with her and her excellent training horse, Pepper. I learned so much on my first day that I cannot wait to get back.....just as soon as my sore muscles quit aching so I can do it all over again. Stephanie, Marie, and the girls are amazing!"

"I went yesterday with my 5 years old daughter and her two friends for their first riding group lesson and we had such a nice experience. The instructor is very nice and kind, she teaches from her heart and experience with horses and her own kids. I would go back for sure with my kids again."
