Miracle Ranch Reviews

Our family had a terrific time riding in the arena on a rainy day... learned to side pass and pole bend amongst many other tricks . Very well trained horses and fun staff!! Thanks Phyllis and Lauren!

My friends and I had a wonderful time yesterday! The instructors were very helpful, we were given the option to jog with the horses, and they picked a horse appropriate for our skill levels. They also provided a stool for short people such as myself haha. I wish we got to go closer to the water but I could only assume that comes with the 2 hour rides or the private rides, which I plan on doing! Thanks for a wonderful and comfortable experience!

Staff was friendly, but keep this in mind: They asked me to be 20 minutes early, and I was, but nobody talked to me until 5 after. There was no waiting room. There was no person to meet us. They don't accept credit card or debit card. They accept e-transfer, but don't provide any computer or internet connection. They didn't even have an ATM.

This was absolutely the best horseback riding experience. The staff are friendly, courteous and experienced. Upon arrival we were fitted with our hats, and saddled up on gentle horses. Staff are patient with smaller children which is appreciated. The horses are well kept, fed and looking very healthy unlike other places we have been too. We were given proper training and guidance inside the stable prior to heading on the trails. Loren was our guide and she was wonderful. She gave very detailed instructions and helped everyone understand the life of horses. Thanks to everyone on the ranch. We will definitely be back soon.

I went there with my cousin and my brother for a trail ride, was really awesome for beginners and had a tonne of fun and going there again before the summer ends with other friends :)

Went on a sleigh ride with my wife and friends. We had a great time and would do it again.

Best trained horses I ve ever ridden. I wanted to rebel and trot or go off-roading a bit, but the horse only did what it was supposed to do.

Very good for kids I imagine... but my rebel heart was crushed.

My daughters, (7 and 9) and I absolutely loved the trail ride, the horses were very well trained and easy to ride as we are all beginners. Our guide Loren (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was friendly, funny, and just amazing, it was an excellent experience overall!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY
Staff was friendly, horses were nice and well behaved. Me and my 4 friends paid $31.50 for a 60 min trail ride which ended up being maybe 30 min after the lady gave us instructions and then lead us into a barn to learn to ride the horses we walked in circles, practiced turning our horses around, stopping them, and making them go. Fine if you have kids i guess but not for an an experienced rider or anyone who has ridden in their life. I have ride about once a year on trail rides on vacations but no more than 10 times in my life probably... my friend have ridden once or twice but not for a while and thought it wasn t fun either. the trail ride was through grassy area and the hills were tiny. The group of riders was 16 people including the guide which is way too many to have a good time because many people can t control their horse so you end up stopping a lot and walking VERY slowly. I love horsie s and am glad it wasn t too expensive because i would have been more mad. definitely wouldn t do it again

I have been coming here every summer for the past six years, it is always so fun and relaxing.

We took our 4 yr. old and 8 yr. old. The trail ride with lauren was awesome! Such friendly staff, they went over and above to make us feel comfortable with the horses and let the kids pet their dogs. It was just a wonderul experience. The ranch was clean and organized, the horses were so great! The care and training the staff must put into them was obvious. Thank u so much miracle ranch!!

My new husband and I had planned a trail ride as a wedding gift elsewhere and made reservations months in advance. The lady cancelled on us an hour before we were supposed to head out the door, and we were so disappointed that we called up Miracle Ranch on a whim. I explained the situation about how it was a wedding gift we had been looking forward to and within minutes Phyllis had phoned back and asked if we could make it down in 15 minutes (they had already closed for the night). Our guide Lauren was so friendly and helpful and the horses were fantastic as well. We won't forget that kind of hospitality. I'll definitely spread the word about what a great place this is and we'll for sure be back!

I had my first lesson with Miracle Ranch and the coach was fantastic as were the horses.The coach was very thorough and able to adapt to everyones skill level. The horses were obviously extremely well trained and taken care of! Looking forward to continuing my lessons with them!!

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! If I could I would give it a zero starCalled three times and the two guys that picked up the phone said that the lady was going to give me a call back but she was out doing a sleigh ride but never got a call. They seemed very unorganized, and very unprofessional wouldn't recommend them at all unless you up for a run around! :(

Hay ride and bonfire pit was amazing! Perfect way to end the summer

My daughter takes private lessons there, and has been for several years now. Instructors are friendly and make learning the proper form and technique easy and relate it to common sense thinking. Wouldnt dream of doing lessons for western riding anywhere else!! Thanks phillis for the wonderful teaching and making it something someone who is very young (or was when we first started lessons) can remember and makes sense to them!

I signed up for a 1hour ride and wished I never paid for it.

Staff are ok but can be pretty fussy about what horse to ride, how to hold reins (regardless of whether you have experience or not).

And for the entire time, we walked in a single line on a pretty small piece of land with many small paths, which is great if you are 5-9 yrs old and have never been on a horse, but for an experienced rider, it's a real buzzkill . It takes out a lot of fun of what horse riding really is. The epitome of adventure during my trip was when the horse bent over to eat grass in between the ride.

Quite disappointed and looking for alternatives.

I visited Miracle Ranch in June of 2014 with my adult daughter. We had a spectacular ride through the sand dunes with Phyllis as our guide. My daughter is still showing off the photos of riding through aqua blue pools of water in the dunes.
We purchased and brought home an absolutely charming red Australian Labradoodle puppy. He is the "talk of the town" and a testament to the high quality breeding program at Miracle Ranch. I cannot say enough about the care and attention Phyllis and staff have put into each and every interaction with us!
Thanks Phyllis!

Me, my sister & 3 girlfriends booked a 60 min ride and had the absolute best time! We lucked out with beautiful weather and were on a trail ride with lots of other people. Before we took off on the ride the owner was nice enough to take a bunch of pictures of us on the horses! The ride was relaxing and had an incredible view and all of the staff was incredibly nice! We will for sure be doing this again at this location! We do trail rides once a year and have gone to other places where the experience is less then pleasant and the horses don't seem as well fed or energetic so it was really nice to find a great place!

This is a great family place. We have been going there for trail rides, and sleighrides for years. Awesome people.

I came to leave a deposit on a puppy and they wouldn't let me see what the puppy parents look like, not even a peek without paying $65!! I'd like to see what I am buying since it's a large purchase. It would have been nice to see the color of the parents and their sizes. I was turned away and told to make an appointment and pay $65. I don't need a 45 minute lesson on what a Labradoodle is!!! Just wanted to see a sample before I buy.

It was fun to go riding. Star and Fudge are good horses, Star did not put her head down to eat most of the time and Fudge was very calm

The horse I was riding was super old. The motion it made was very uncomfortable for me. I have ridden many horses but I felt that this one should have been retired long ago or at least given to a guy who wasnt 200 lbs. I felt like they inflicted the horse upon me because I was still kind of dirty from work. Would never spend my money here again

Have been riding at Miracle Ranch for almost 4 years now. Phyllis is the best teacher hands down. The horses are well trained and the facility is well laid out and clean. Just the absolute best. I love it here.
