Mountain View Stables

It was mine and my Husbands 15 year anniversary and love horses and horse back riding. We called to make a reservation and was given detailed instructions on what to expect, what to wear, and was notified that if the weather was not good that we would be notified of cancellation. When we arrived Covid protocols were in place. We were met by staff that were extremely nice. When it came time for our horses to be mounted we were given the name of our horse, told exactly how to do so and how to control our horse in case you have never done so. My husband had Zeker or Zeke for his riding companion and I had Starr. Both were rescued and are now living there best life. Our ride was awesome we will definitely be back again. The whole ride my husband had great conversation with the owner of the establishment. Once again the staff was awesome and nice and we thank you for a great time.

It was lovely. For beginner. I have experience with horseback riding and I wanted to run. This is more of a tourism thing for people who never did this. I wasn't able to make the horse run.

If you love horses and/or dogs this is the place to patronize. At Mountain View Stables, Melanie Mac Lachlan not only rescues horses and dogs, but what ever other critter that needs assistance (e.g. alpacas, pot bellied pigs, raccoons etc.).
You can get Horseback Riding Lessons or just enjoy the Horseback Trail Rides through the wilderness, with a great view of the Blue Mountains. I was lucky enough to photograph a deer while riding through the woods.
You can also get your dog properly trained at Mountain View Stables, either in Group or Private Obedience Lessons. Your furry family member will become a very reliable and pleasant companion. The Dog Obedience Classes start at the Puppy Level (6 weeks), Intermediate Obedience Level (6 weeks) and the fun Advanced Obedience Class, which includes dog agility lessons.

Thanks Melanie and Darcy for making our first family ride so memorable and enjoyable. The horses were easy to manage and the trail nice and shaded. I fully recommend!
