Shady Lawn Ranch

Jane really knows her stuff about horses. She has taught me most of what I know to this day. I always recommend Shady Lawn to others and will continue to do so. A great place to learn about horses and how to care for them.

After 4 months of lessons, the verbal abuse from Jane to the students, especially my daughter got worse and worse. Resulting in a verbal assault against my 7 year old that had her in tears. I understand the difference in a strict coach for sports and someone who takes their bad days out on the kids. We are so disappointed in how this ended and I’m hoping my daughter will find her confidence again at a new location. This was previously deleted by the owner

Girlfriend just went here for a day. Had a great time. Learned a lot. The only other time she was around horses was when she was a little girl about 37 years ago. She got kicked in the head then and never been around a horse until now when a friend set up her riding lesson at the Shady Lawn Ranch. Saddling, riding to giving a horse a rub down and cleaning it's hooves after ride.. All that is required from a horse owner was taught to her Giddy up and check the place out. Good clean conditions, with healthy horses and Professional knowledgeable instructors that are very friendly. One of the best places/businesses Stanislaus County has to offer for a fun and educational experience. Easy for me to say the owners of this ranch belong in the group of the best America has to offer the world.

Called about a short ride for our 5 year old grandson. The lady ask me if I was a Solicitor,I said no . I just had a question. Do you have anytime I could this week I could bring him to ride for 15 minutes. She was very rude and said NO TO EVERYTHING BEFORE I COULD ASK THE NEXT QUESTION.. I use to go there as a kid I loved it. I really wanted our grandson to see and sit on a horse. I will continue to look elsewhere.

I never rode a horse. I contacted her last year for lessons. There is a weight limit for the Western horses she has at the ranch. Jane is an excellent instructor and I love this place.

Jane is the best instructor I could ever ask for. I am currently taking lessons and I am in the advanced intermediate class. I have been riding for a while.

Nothing but a lot of work so far
