We had a relaxing trail ride. The horses were gentle. We would ride again perhaps to try a different trail for a change.

I had an amazing time with a well trained horse. The young man who was our guide was as sweet as could be! Great price for a wonderful experience.

I had such a wonderful time here. The guide was so helpful, friendly, and thorough. For those beginning or have had prior horseback riding experience, I highly recommend this ranch.

Looked at many different places to do this morning ride with my girlfriend. It's her first time ever being on a horse and I have ridden horses since I was six. So finding a place that I could cater and teacher in a good environment but yet still take us on a ride that is not just on just a dirt road or a trail lead was important. Want to make sure that our ride around was entertaining for both of us. And I'm glad to say that Vin Hesten's provided just that.
Other corral and property provided similar feels too dude ranches that I've been to a concert Nevada's. Lots of dogs, cats animals in horses on the property when you first arrive. The family was very open and warm when we got there for check-in and we started off with a teaching lesson in the corral. The lesson wasn't rushed. It was excellent instruction, and make sure that she had basic skills down before we ended up leaving the ranch. Are they match the horses to our skill levels, which makes a big difference when you're out riding. We stink their way through the Temecula hills around the property, which was very beautiful since it had been raining for a few months before arriving. Lots of things were in full bloom, the path range from dry to wet ground throughout, which always makes for a entertaining a walk.
Aries of the grass is green really tall dude all the watering and of course horses being horses always like to snack or at least try to and that presented a fun challenge for our buckaroo who her horse Kona I was more than happy to oblige, trying to get his belly full. By the end of the ride, though she was able to learn how to keep the horse from eating as we rode, and by the end of our morning walk, she had mastered basic writing skills. Our guide was very pleasant and informative and also took photos of us, not see below, with a GoPro during a ride, which they posted on their website for us. At the end they gave us vouchers for some of the nearby wineries, which we went to two of them. We had wine flights which we didn't have to pay for which was a good mid day start to our wine touring adventure through the Temecula region. Highly recommend this place for beginners, and or intermediate riders. Are the owners and the family do a good job catering to everybody's level.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Michael C.Woodland Hills, CA36252Jul 3, 2023
On a recent trip our family of novices decided to do a last minute trail ride. We called Susie q and they were booked up - I'm so glad they were because we had a BLAST at Vin Hesten. The horses were super. I rode Mega and we got along great. Kaity was a ***super*** guide. She knows her stuff, cared about our kiddo, and was great company on the ride. 10/10 - repeat next time we're in town.

My family and I went to Vin Hesten Trail Rides for horsebacking riding to celebrate our birthday. It was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Sam was amazing. She was very attentive, provided excellent instruction and made sure our ride was safe and enjoyable. We enjoyed a smooth ride throughout the property with a great scenic view. It was the ultimate birthday getaway!
We definitely recommend Vin Hesten Trail Rides for anyone who wants the best horseback riding experience!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Corinne A.Cincinnati, OH0225Dec 29, 2023
Cole, was a great instructor! Was very easy to sign up, find the spot, and get situated with our horses. Was expecting information on the trail - like info about the area, horses, etc but it was a very quiet ride. Back wood trails of someone's backyard. Definitely not where you'd go for a view. Thought it would be a tour of a vineyard. No trotting either, for experienced riders. Overall fine but not worth the price. My husband and I did a private ride with the tasting. The tasting was the best part. Wish they would have taken us there on the horse but we had to drive there separately.
