Rocking S Ranch, LLC

★★★★★ Nick, May 2021

Magic Mountain Farm

We had a wonderful experience trail riding at Magic Mountain. Our trail guide was friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident on the ride. Their horses are fabulous and well tempered. The ride is beautiful with hills, streams, lakes and is mostly tree covered. I can’t wait to go back.

★★★★★ Lauren, Jun 2024

Thunder Ridge, Inc

I grew up on the horse farm and I can say it’s like a big family. You can tell how well they take care of the horses and happy to be riding and spending there. Peaceful environment to be around
