Horsemanship Lesson in Yucca Valley

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Knob Hill Ranch. I surprised my mom (a lifelong rider, now almost 70) with a 2 hour private ride through the national park. Firstly, the staff and the hospitality cannot be beaten. We were welcomed by Madeline and Michael and their adorable dogs the second we pulled up to the ranch. The facility and grounds are not only stunning but also clearly cared for and maintained impeccably. What stood out most to me was the way they treat and care for their horses. They took the time to reach out to us ahead of time to see if we could ride earlier in the day to beat the unseasonable heatwave in March for the safety and wellbeing of the horses. We said absolutely. The horses were tacked and ready for us when we arrived. They are clearly so loved and well taken care of. Their needs a priority. They had great feet and just overall you could tell they are loved dearly. Michael took us out on an almost 3 hour ride through the national park and answered every single question we had and shared with us his passion and knowledge for horsemanship. The views and scenery were unbeatable. Absolutely breathtaking and stunning. My mom cried because she didn’t want it to end. Jack (my noble steed) was the very best boy. He loves to snack (as he should, he’s a chonky boy) but he also was so sure footed and lovely to ride. I just can’t say enough great things. This was my second time visiting knob hill ranch (the first in 2014) and I can confidently say that I will 10000% be back in the future and will recommend to absolutely everyone I meet. How lucky are we. Thank you Michael and Madeline!!!! You guys are the very best of the best.
