GOOD SHEPHERD RANCH

After 19 years away from horses, I am now back into riding and the proud owner of a BEAUTIFUL mare. I bought her from Francesca @ Good Shepherd, and I could NOT be happier! My horse has taught ME how to ride again, and has increased my confidence tenfold! She is WONDERFUL. Francesca truly cares not only about the horses, she honestly cares about her clients. That little gal has answered every email I've sent her ~ I've asked her for suggestions, advice and guidance ~ and bless her heart, if she can't respond right away, she sends me a quick note to say she'll follow-up later! Folks, it gets NO BETTER than that! She is reputable, she is dependable, she is honest, she is genuine, she is dedicated. If you're looking for a new 'best friend' to ride on trails or in the arena, go to Good Shepherd Ranch. Thank you, and God bless you, Francesca! (*>*)

I have been going to good shepherd for all my equine needs for quite some time now. They are always happy to help me in any and every way they can. I have purchased many fine horses from them and they are always 100% honest. I never have any surprises and I put 110% of my trust in the folks at good shepherd ranch. Whatever you need, whether it be a good horse, lessons, advice or just want to go for an excellent trail ride, they are thee only place to go!

I recently purchased a sweet palomino quarter horse at Good Shepherd Ranch and have enjoyed my lessons there and practicing riding him. Their trail rides are awsome - beautiful sandy washes, lots of variety in desert flora, and great views of the mountains. Soft sand in the washes enhances the ride with nicely "cushioned" trotting and loping opportunities. I plan to take my family there for future rides aslo!

We have been doing business with Francesca at the Good Shepherd Ranch for 2 years. Our horse journey began when we took in a neglected, "green" 5 year old gelding. He had many behavioral issues and we needed help. Thats when we called Francesca. She came out to our home and taught us how to care for and train a horse. Anytime we had a question---we could always call her---and she would have the answer. The next step in our journey, would be riding lessons at her ranch. We learned safety, hoof care, the right way to tack a horse, bareback riding, arena work, trail riding and so much more. All of this fun led us to our dream horse Viggo and a best friend for our horse at home. We first saw Viggo on Good Shepherd Ranch web-site. The next day we were dropping off hay for a rescue Francesca took in, and there was Viggo. We spent quality time with him and rode him. We knew instantly he was the horse for us and took him home that week. We couldn't be happier.

Francisca is great.She has helped me and my family learn so much about horses.I thought I knew a lot already but she has taught us so much more.I bought a horse when first moving here from a private seller, had a lot of problems but I understand the buyer beware rule.Francisca helped me with that horse, then sold the right horse to me for my children.That horse has been a great fit.I highly recommend Francisca to anyone looking for that "RIGHT FIT" in a horse! If it is too late she can help fit you with your horse.They are just good, honest, polite people!The program they run there and the horses they sell are so beautiful and great quality for the price.I have seen Francisca and her staff work long hard hours and they always put the horses before themselves.They are no nonsense trainers,I can't say enough good about them!They put so much time and effort into every horse before it can be available for sale. I think they rock the horse world and are a credit to the equine industry!

Hi guys. Wow, I can't beleve I purchased a horse sight unseen. I was a nervous wreck that week I waited for her to get here. Everyone told me not to get the horse, especially without seeing her in person first. I new for sure I made a huge mistake that I would regret. I have to say that not only is she a beautiful mare, she is an awesome mare. Everyone rides her including my 5 year old son. I laugh at all my friends who doubted my decision & doubted you. Now my friends are going to you for horses & they owe me big for the great horses the now have. HA. Now they are actually able to ride the horses they have. Goodbye to the crazy rodeos they used have. Now we are all happy, go on big group rides every sunday & as much as I would like to take credit for it all we owe it all to the Good shepher ranch, thanks! You wont find anyone else worth buying horses from. Good shepherd is worthy of your trust. They are professional & extremley kind. You will not be dissapointed, They are wonderful!
