My boyfriend and I did a sunset ride with Melissa and I could not have been happier with the experience. Melissa is a real cow girl that loves her horses dearly! It's beautiful to watch her with her "boys." The trail is serene, relaxing and the horses are so calm. Melissa is a true professional with so much knowledge about... More

Absolutely beautiful experience. Ojai is a very special place and the trials from the ranch are blissful. I was on my honeymoon, first ever time in California and first time ever on a horse, thank you McGuninnes and thank you Melissa, you are an Earth Angel

My wife and I went horseback riding with WTR a few weeks ago while in Ojai for a wedding. Melissa was a terrific guide and paired us up with great horses for our trip. The trails we rode offered amazing views of the valley, and were remote in a way that made it feel like we were miles from civilization.... More

I have made it a rule that when I go to Ojai I stop by the wonderful little ranch called Western Trail Rides. Couple of things: my Uncle Jim and cousin Kathy had an excellent day riding and it reminded him of his childhood in South Dakota. About the Lord: God is a daily part of my life, and I... More

My husband booked a private sunset ride for us. My husband has only ridden once before and that was years ago, but Melissa was a wonderful teacher and put him on a mellow, good manner horse named McGuinness. My husband and I had a wonderful time and are looking forward to going again with our daughter. It is a beautiful... More

I was in Ojai for a brief birthday getaway, and had limited time to squeeze in all the things I wanted to do...one of which was a trail ride. From the first time I talked to Melissa on the phone, I knew I was in the right hands! She was so full of good energy, and even though it was... More

My bf and I were there with Melissa this past weekend, and we had a great time. It was my bf's first time riding a horse so we just walked arround and didn't go far. will go further next time. the only down side is it's a little expensive for us..
