We had an amazing time here. We had two 10 year olds, two 14 year olds, my husband and my mother who rode. The staff was amazing. I honestly can not say enough about them. We came two days before to see if the younger boys would want to ride as they were very nervous. They walked us around for about 45 minutes and let the boys pet/feed many horses and told us all about them. The younger boys loved it and I was so happy they shared their time and information with us. We came back two days later so 6 people could ride. We had 5 people working with us to teach the group how to ride a horse. Almost 1 to 1 ratio. They made sure everyone was ready to go before we left the ranch and picked the right horses for each person based on experience. One of the younger boys was scared and they let him ride with a staff member holding the horses rope on the ranch. They never made him feel bad and were so encouraging to him. I was beyond grateful and proud of how they treated us and each other on the ranch. Their love of horses and family like environment made this experience top notch. Next time we vacation in Groveland we will definite come back.
