We had a lovely hour trail ride on Monday afternoon. Our guided Lily was great - very patient and showed us some amazing views. My daughter rode King and I rode Duke.Everything was great EXCEPT the other two riders who talked NONSTOP the entire ride. For an entire hour I heard about a wedding, job/retirement issues, health issues, and her HORRIBLE riding advice which was pretty much always wrong. My daughter and I wanted a quiet ride to enjoy the views but nope, didnt get that. I couldnt even hear Lily half the time because Marguerite and her companion would not shut up.Perhaps the guide can remind riders about common courtesy and that loud talking does not make for an enjoyable trail ride. And of course the same guest also had to be told more than once to wear her mask properly.

Awesome trail ride. Dylan was a cool young ride chief. He was very informative. All of the staff there is great and extremely nice. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone interested in getting to know horses.

Really great place. Kiddo takes horseback lessons here and loves them.

It was our first time riding. Everyone was masked. You had to make reservations online for 8 and older. Arrive 10 minutes early. They are brief in instructions even for first time riders but my kids had no problem with learning on the go. The scenery was great. You can see downtown. The masks help with allergies if you have them. We would go again.

We had so much fun! Our first time horseback riding ever. We took advantage of the early bird special at 8:30 morning. It included an extra half hour for the price of an hour. Our guide was great, she was knowledgeable of the property and horses.

Had a great trail ride with the family. Booked online, got there early, instructions were clear, guide was very courteous, and all had a great time.

Went on the pony ride with my daughter. Had a great time. The views are great and the ride was fun. Didnt have time to check out the winery but that seemed nice too.

Stay away from this place if you are not proficient rider. Instructors that lead recreational groups have no clue how to instruct you or how to assist. No guidance provided prior to the tour. Then I was getting off the horse at the end and nobody gives you a hand. I fell off and NOBODY stepped forward to help or check on me. Shocking!!!

Nice, clean farm for the horse riding and lesson. Young staffs are friendly. My son had a great 1 hour ride of his life.

I was with my family of four who have ridden over a dozen times. We were paired in a group with a small family who were very new to riding (not their fault). We raised our concerns about the level difference and were ignored. We had to pull back on the horses the whole ride because they were WALKING too fast. It came to a point were we started playing I Spie because the ride was so boring. Very disappointing.

Best compost for gardening and it is free. Plan to buy a few wine bottles to show my appreciation.

Lovely place with live music and horse show; kids didn’t wait a minute to get on a horse; summer camps to consider!

My husband and I were wanting to take the kids Horseback riding. Which is a bit of a challenge with our youngest child being so young. I get it. But when I called Garrod Farms, I didnt expect to be treated so rudely.Me: Hi, Im trying to get information on horseback riding for my family, but I have a 3 year old. Do you allow that?Him: Nope. Too youngMe: Do you know of anyone that would allow that?Him: Maybe Planned Parenthood.😳His comment was so rude and COMPLETELY uncalled for! I will be telling ALL of my friends and family where to NOT go horseback riding!!

Ive been horseback riding for over 30 years. Ive been to many stables. This one definetly stood out from the others. The guides were very friendly. The horses very clean and very well trained. It was my sons first time and he now wants to ride more frequently from having such a great experience and my other son thats ridden with me for the past 14 years was really happy we went there and pointed out the same things I did. Thanks for making my familys day a perfect one. Phoenix was the best horse.

Amazing experience horseback riding, very comfortable and amazing scenery. The horses were very calm and steady. They also have a good protocol for covid-19.

If you have any experience riding skip this place.The riding pace is close to a human walk. They make no effort to match the different riders in a group by experience.And they do not care about the experience you have.

The property here is amazing. Over 150 acres of vineyards and stables. The trail ride is amazing as well. The views over the entire valley and as far as San Francisco. Windy trails and areas where we could gallop with the horse make this one of the best hours you can spend in the region. When finished you can go to the tasting room and enjoy the wine. The staff here is very friendly and let you enjoy your time.

Fun ride, well managed.

Fun experience, nice view along the trail.

Awesome ride! Dillon was a great tour guide providing details of the Bay. Fudge was a fun horse to ride with a sweet disposition. Everybody was so friendly! Will go again.

They are yelling and threatening the hikers who followed wrong google directions through their farm. I see why some people mentioned about their rude and unkind service

Great experience for a beginner to experience an hour of horseback riding on a trail. The vista around the farm was very nice too.

Beautiful views! great place to take friends who are new to horses for trail rides

Great place for your child to learn horseback riding. Friendly staff and awesome teachers!

We had a pony walk with our daughter. It was 30 mins walk with outstanding views. Our guide told us a lot about the farm and different horse breeds. After the ride we checked the winery which is great as well.

We had a great time here. We went horseback riding with a great tour guide. She was very helpful and had loads of interesting points of interest. We were a group of four and the cost was $260. Not cheap but the horses are so well cared for and trained its worth it. We had two trail guides and they did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly.

Very nice place. Not just for riding but for hanging out and drinking wine. Pretty nice wine at that. And when music is on and weather is nice, an excellent place to hang out. A great choice!

They said we could walk in and had a trail riding. But when we are here they told us they are not available. I think the receptionist was not friendly at all. I will not be here anymore.

What a great place to go horseback riding! You get beautiful views of the vineyards, the East Bay and the City. The guide was patient and had a great attitude. Our group had a great time and celebrated a birthday in a very unique way.

Garrod farms stables is such an encouraging place. They have the horses well trained and the trial rides give so much experience to the riders. Garrod farms riding stables is the best place to learn horseback riding.

Kept my mate there years ago, was great.

Very nice place to ride horses. View is great during the trail ride. Lesson program is fun. Coaches and staff are nice.

We have taken family trail rides as well as lesson programs here and found the people very friendly and helpful. The horses are handled much better here than some other places-the owners and employees care about the safety and well being of riders and animals.Garrod Farms is home to a very well respected equestrian team that competes world wide and has won gold medals. Top notch horse facility and check out the winery too.

Ive been taking my daughter here for a few years for pony rides. This is probably one of the better for hire rental barns in the south bay. Lovely trails and views and the horses seem to be well taken care of.Thanks Garrod!

I love the horse named soda hes do sweet and fun to ride

Its was our anniversary and we have booked a one hour trail ride. Because the trail guides werent well, Jan Garrod himself took us on the trail. Fabulous views and great well kept horses. If you want a romantic serene getaway close to minutes from home, this is THE place to go. They had a huge arena for lessons too. Then we headed over to the winery for tastings. There one of the cooper daughters was in charge. Hands down the best service in a family run business where they truly know how to make their customers feel part of a family tradition and provide that cozy homey environment. This Cooper-Garrod collaboration will truly run for centuries to come if they keep doing what they are doing!

I rode Buster and He was THE BEST I LOVE HIM my dad rode King

Its weird to rate the place you work on Google but THIS PLACE IS GREAT.

Good place to begin horseback riding, and the trainers are nice too

Very nice place to learn horse riding.

This is a great place for horse riding. Staff is very friendly and the horses are fabulous!!!

Good place, but not all of them treat the horses very well...

Beautiful Place to relax @ Garrod farms & Winery,see Horses training, Horse riding.FunPlace for adults and children.

Horses are in very good care and it was an awesome place :D

Do they have big horses I think it looks like a really good promgram
