“Nice ride through the woods and the staff were very friendly and helpful if needed. Reasonable rates and feel free to tip your rangers!! They were having a free holdown for riders and friends, drinks, food and conversation unfortunately I couldn’t stay. Horses are well broke and behaved I would definitely ride here again They also offer lessons!! And take pictures of you and your horse for free. Now that’s being courteous!!!”

“We enjoyed a dinner date evening ride at Diamond Springs Ranch. The ride, the dinner, and the entire experience was fun and memorable. I was surprised how much I enjoyed a homegrown steak cooked perfectly. Thank you Anthony, Jessica, Kimmy and Sue!”
