★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kind of disappointed- someone fell off their horse at the beginning of a 2hour ride
Didn't turn bsck to just drop them off. We ended up doing circles around the ranch and side road ditches. No offer on a discounted ride for next time.. so no views or trails like I expected.. the horses were sweet
Guide was grumpy. Should come with some knowledge as there isn't a lesson for very new riders.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our family had a perfect day here. Bev was a superb instructor, who made sure we were all comfortable on our horses before heading out on the trail. Highly recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time rider here, they allowed me to ride a beautiful calm horse that was so pleasant and fun. Gave me a great experience with horses!
Overall the atmosphere was pleasant and casual, they provide boots if you don't have the proper footwear and helmets in all sizes. I'd recommend you figure out how to bring a water bottle in the summer or find a horse with a small pack so you can bring one. The 2 hr ride gets a bit hot but they take you through nice trails to cool off. Definitely wear sunscreen and bring a light cover-up for your neck and shoulders with long pants and socks.
The staff and owner were very nice and confident and I trusted them to tell us the correct way to ride and how to be safe.
I'd recommend this place if you're new to riding and they even accommodated some young kids on the ride too! Everyone seemed to have a good time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have 'returned to riding' and take lessons with Amber at Paradise Acres. I appreciate her ability to understand where I'm at, adapt her lessons and make sure I am riding a horse appropriate to my abilities. Amber is engaged, caring and sincere. I highly recommend trying lessons with her at Paradise Acres.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This guest ranch is in a beautiful area of Parksville on a picture perfect setting only a 5 minute drive to the beach. Great location! Our room was clean and comfortable. The horses we got to ride were not just run of the mill old trail horses but I got to ride a magnificent white horse with blue eyes like jewels. If this thing had a horn it would be a unicorn. Some real amazing animals! On my second ride I rode an enormous paint horse who was like riding a couch. Super comfortable in trot and very well mannered. The guide was really fun and great company. The trails they took us on were beautiful. The complimentary breakfast was not just good, not just great, but out of this world spectacular. The chef is a true culinary artiste. All in all a 10 out of 10 horse back riding adventure experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took my 10 year old daughter there on a Saturday for her first ever horse ride. We went on an hour long trail ride with Allison as our guide. All of my expectations were met and exceeded! Great instructions given before the ride, amazing horses and an over all wonderful experience. I highly recommend this Ranch to anyone wanting a laid back and relaxing ride. If you are a beginner, look no further, give these people a call; you won't regret it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My 2 daughters have been lucky enough to be taking riding lessons from Amber over the last year. They have absolutely loved it, and have progressed incredibly. Riding lessons are their favourite day of the week, and the ranch is just beautiful. Amber is kind, patient, incredibly skilled, and wonderful with kids. I have watched their confidence grow with each lesson, which is amazing to see. We feel very lucky to have to opportunity to take lessons at Paradise Acres.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ DO NOT BOARD HERE!!! The owner doesn’t care about the animals well being, she will endanger your animal in order to make more money!
As hay prices went up, she ordered staff to CUT BACK ON HAY! Her “fields” do not produce close to enough grass to feed even one horse let alone 5-7.
She will RISK YOUR HORSES WELL BEING TO MAKE MONEY.
Horses are put into the “herd” WITHOUT CARE OF WELL-BEING.
Obviously sick horses (way under weight, swollen goopy eyes,
known to have worms) are put into the herd without care or notice for the healthy horses currently there.
Horses are thrown into the Herd without care or knowledge of personalities and have ended with multiple VET BILLS.
She does not believe it is her responsibility to inquire about horses health and aggression before putting them into herd and tight quarters with current boarders.
The Hay she sells to boarders and Feeds Full board horses is absolute garbage and shouldn’t even be fed to cows.
Most of her staff are lovely and care about the horses but the OWNER ONLY CARES ABOUT THE MONEY!
DO NOT BOARD HERE!
