Having ridden about a dozen times in various locations I knew I wasn't a beginner but I wasn't a confident rider either. Donna from Just Us Gals and Our Horses was quite intuitive as to which horse would be best for my skill level and persona, and boy was she right. The horses here all have a story, a heart and are full of personality. Donna takes them from whatever situation they were in (e.g. in some cases, they were starved and abused), gives them hope & love, teaches them to trust humans again, and helps the horses become whole again and in return they become the most amazing trail horses -- the best I've ever seen. They are very well cared for and are treated with respect. I never knew how to tack a horse before but Donna took the time to show me how to place the pad and saddle on the horse's back and how to put the bit (the part that goes in the horse's mouth and over their head/ears) on. She helps riders adjust their stirrups and is very patient. I asked a ton of questions and Donna was happy to answer all of them. She knows these horses inside and out and takes pride in what she does. Someone who has passion for what they do, is good at it and treats the horses like they matter is the real deal. Definitely recommend riding with Just Us Gals. You won't regret.

I can't imagine a better ride than me and my friends had with this group. It was not even a perfect day, cloudy and the trails were muddy from all the rain, but even with these conditions we loved how friendly the women were and how wonderful the horses were. I am a brand new rider and yet they made me feel safe and comfortable and I learned a lot about horses. I can't wait to go back again soon.
