We had some family from out of town and they requested to go horseback riding. I myself have ridden and competed for years. Now that I’m in graduate school I am unable to ride at the level I want and the time I always crave. “Us” horse people totally get this but when life calls us to divert we tend to heed the call, knowing that the future will bring us back to the things we love endlessly, horses. So when my family requested to go riding I definitely splurged and started digging asap! I found this place with ease. I had read earlier comments about it, knowing they were all extremely positive and a place really well liked. My family was concerned it was not going to be up to the “caliber” that I’m use to but really...what horse person wouldn’t jump at the chance to be in the saddle again?! This place is absolutely gorgeous! The horses were so well mannered. Suzie led the 1.5hr trail ride through gorgeous switchbacks and fairly easy terrain. Really anyone could ride these horses and trails. It was so nice to speak with another horse person again, even if it was the most mundane of horse topics. Suzie was extremely nice and direct. Unfortunately we were a half hour late because of 3+ accidents traveling to Murrieta. It just happened that way. We phoned immediately (and emailed just in case) about the traffic and we would be late. We thought, “oh gosh, they are not going to let us ride. We can’t hold up another trail group.” No way! She was completely fine with it, thankfully, and we still rode 1.5hrs. That’s how amazing her stables are. The trails were gorgeous and watching the sunset on a beautiful California day was just icing on the cake. Her horses were in immaculate condition. No signs of dehydration, dull coats, lethargy, and saddle injuries. You can easily tell she cares about her horses and goes above and beyond to care for them. The forms to fill out and sign are so simple and don’t ask 25 questions about the horse knowledge you possess or not. They asked for your height, weight, and what riding experiences you have. I always become fearful when a stable or barn doesn’t inquire about height or weight, knowing the animals are not put first. The horses seemed quite content. Their paddocks were nice, not flooded from water or feces. The other animals on the property were just as sweet and happy. Thank you Valentine, Whiskey, Little Bit, and of course, our guide, Suzie! PS: sorry for the long post. I just feel that if local businesses should receive these reviews as they work so hard and deserve it!

I joined family members and friends at a Wizard of Oz Escape Room in Murrieta. It was challenging but a lot of fun. The challenges were well-thought-out and with working together, we were able to solve the puzzles. It was colorful and felt very new and clean. Staff were friendly and encouraging. I especially liked that they started the adventure with treasure boxes while you wait.I look forward to doing more escape rooms with this group.

After a few days of rain everything turns green up here. So nice to see and walk through. We are only a few miles away and had never taken the hike. Our neighbors recommended it and we were glad we decided to see for ourselves. Depending on which trail you take, there is a variety. Some historical buildings are worth seeing. Some trails have resting spots. Before you go check out their website for what attracts you.
