I loved it! My sister passed away a month ago and this was an amazing, healing experience for me. My horse was a Belgian draft horse. Needless to say he was a big boy! I felt safe and secure on him. The ride was beautiful and Ani our wrangler was delightful! Really an absolutely beautiful day. Thank you so much for organizing it.--Elaine

Leaving this is long overdue but sometimes life just kind of takes over and things get shuffled around. However, there isn't a day that goes by where we don't think about our fun adventures and the great friends we've made at the Stillwater Ranch.
The first time we visited was in July of this year, and WOW what a fun time! If you've been before, you know what I'm talking about, and if you haven't, well be prepared for some great memories! Barb and Dalton made us feel right at home; they're the kind of people you meet and you instantly want to know them more :) This was our son's first time on a horse and boy did Miss Katy take good care of him! Dalton lead us all up the mountain, while Barb stayed in the back to keep us in line :) When we got to the top the view was amazing! We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and some terrific conversation. The whole day was awesome and we couldn't wait to go back! And... It wasn't long at all before we were back again in August! Dalton named Cash is Jr. Wrangler and the smiles on my son's face that day will last me a lifetime.
The Stillwater Ranch is a wonderful place and I would recommend it for anyone! The horses and dogs are friendly and beautiful! All are clearly loved and cared for; it's obvious they're part of the "family." Each horse has it's own neat personality and amazingly, you trust them almost immediately.
We consider ourselves lucky to have gained Barb and Dalton as friends. And although we may not speak often; we know when we go back, it'll be just like "home." The warmth and level of professionalism they have for thir Ranch and for making sure their customers have a wonderful experiance is impeccable.
Thank you both so very much for the memories and we can't wait to see you again; perhaps for the "Ride and Reel", or just to come up and enjoy a ride through the pretty fall colored trees.
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality you gave to me, my family and friend!! It was so much FUN!! Dalton and Ani were terrific guides and we really enjoyed all the stories and of course the “World’s Best” Sultan Bakery sandwiches.
All the Best,

We had a really wonderful time- and spent the evening talking about how gracious you both are and how much we look forward to coming again. See you soon, Lindsey and Leigh Anne
Hi Barbara and Dalton, I just wanted to thank you for an incredible experience last Friday! It was a beautiful day and our whole staff had so much fun. Your bbq spread was absolutely delicious. I appreciated your patience with all of us as I can imagine you see a lot of "city slickers" come out! Needless to say, Saturday was either a standing or laying down day, NOT a sitting day! I am spreading the word about Stillwater Ranch and plan to come back soon! You and all involved are wonderful people. Your animals are too! I am a dog gal so seeing all your dogs was fun too!
They are both still talking about their experience today. Josh called all of his three brothers and his mother to tell them about Stillwater ranch. We thank you for looking after them and providing them with a very memorable activity. Josh and Amy send a thank you , and it was fun too,
Well Brad and I are back in sunny hot NJ. Got back on the red-eye this morning. Thank you both for such wonderful hospitality. We had an awesome time. I can't wait to bring my other son on a trip there soon.
I hope you guys enjoy the underworld tour if you go! Thanks again for everything! Deb
The absolute best place to go for a trail ride is right here! My group included one panicky teenager who has never ridden before, and by the end of the trip she didn`t want to go home. Neither did I! You guys are great at what you do, and I will come back at every opportunity. Thanks for a great day! Theresa, Sierra, and Ariel
Hi Dalton and Barb, Thank you so much for making Monique's birthday surprise so special, we can not stop talking about it! Your ranch is wonderful as are all your horses, Comet and Chyna in particular were so much fun to ride. We can't wait to get back for more riding and fishing..maybe camping too.
For those looking for a great time horseback riding and much more, truly look no further. These folks think and take care of everything from the time you saddle up to the wonderful meal that follows. They have beautiful, healthy horses with great personalities and a ton of trails with breath taking views. Best of all the hospitality here is second to none!
Hello! Thank you both so much for showing us such a great time! We really enjoyed meeting you as well and can't wait to come out again and see everyone. Cash had the time of his life! I think I've got at least a dozen people already interested and wanting to partake in the "Horseshoes & Corkscrews" ride. Naomi, "A" and Cash
