Spring Valley Equestrian Center

I took my teenage daughter for a trail ride in July 2015 and we had an amazing time! Lynnea took us out on Salty and Reggie and despite it being our first time horseback riding she made us feel comfortable and allowed us to really enjoy ourselves. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great way to spend some time outdoors.

Went here for a second time this year to take a ride and enjoy the fall leaves. When we went last year, we had a smaller group 5 compared to our group this year, 8. After our experience last year we were surprised that we spent so much time in the stable getting fitted on the horses and walking around in circles inside. When we finally got on the trail, we did not have any galloping, just lazy walking through the woods. Also, we had gone down to the river and rode alongside it, this time, we didnt go down that far and looped back. All in our group were looking forward to the river section of the trail. The ride is supposed to be ~15 min in the stable and 45 on the trail. We started a bit late, 25 min in stable and were back in time for the original end time. Our guide the previous year was very personable, this time we had 2 guides and neither were engaging until we got back and tipped. Not impressed. The area is beautiful, the horses were healthy, the price was reasonable, but expectations were not met.
FYI: If using a google maps, it indicates the stable in on the wrong side of the road. It is not clear, but once you get in, proceed up the hill and go inside the barn in order to get start paperwork etc.

We had a nice ride. Our guide was knowledgable about the trail and knew a little about the area. She made us feel safe and it was fun. Boots and Jefferson were our horses, they were good older trail horses. Very reasonably priced.
