Took my 3 year old for a pony ride and he had the time of his life. Staff was very friendly and you get to lead the pony yourself which is something I really liked since it made it possible for all of us to be involved and I think thats what made the experience so awesome. We will be frequent visitors for sure!See more..
4.0River Valley Ranch(10 reviews) - A hidden gem!! Spent 1-2 hours Horseback Riding Tours
My husband and I went on a private trail ride and had such an amazing time. The owner is very knowledgeable and funny. He takes great care of the horses, and the ranch is beautiful. When the horses aren’t on trials, they are in huge green pastures which made me happy. Our tour guide, Juan, was very professional and fun to chat with along the trail. We saw deer, cranes, and bunnies along the wooded trail as well. We absolutely recommend, and will be back!!See more..

I was visiting the area and wanted to do something a bit different than spending time on the lake. Someone had suggested horseback riding and I was very lucky to have found Timberline Ranch. I called Ann and she was able to set all three of us up for a trail ride the next morning. She was easy to work with on the phone. I've had some experience on a horse, but am still a novice. However, neither my son nor husband have ridden. Ann was attentive to all of us, but not overbearing. A lot of that has to do with her knowing her horses and giving us horses that are gentle. I suspect that a more experienced rider will get a horse that will respond well to that rider. We had a nice trail ride (which took over an hour). Ann was great about taking photos for us and giving us lots of cookies to give as nice rewards to our horses. If I lived in the area, I would be back with out any hesitation.See more..
