What I like:
The price was cheap.
What needs improvement:
I would not recomend this place. The prices were cheap but you get what you pay for. There were no bathrooms. The ranch was filthy. Dead bones, flys, it smelled horrible. I felt sorry for the horses. Many were way to skinny and looked sick. The trail guide Sharon who I believe is the owner was not very nice. I would never go back.

What I like:
I enjoyed the trail rides there and had a good time. The horses I had were well trained and good behavior. Got some helpful tips from Sharon, too. Thank you!
What needs improvement:
A dressing room would be handy. And a bit easier access to the ranch, some signs would be useful.

What I like:
At first it seemed great. Shoron (owner) was nice. But that did not last long. Her true colors came out. I had to get my horse out of there because it started loosing a lot of weight and she would hit my horse, along with all the horses there. She lets her stallions and mares run together. All the mares were in foal and underweight. There was only 2 100 gallon waters for 35 acres and 22 horses. Several horses were in need of medical care. When I tried to call the vet out to look at my horse they refused to go to the ranch. They said I would have to take my horse somewhere else to treat it. Horrible experience.
What needs improvement:
She never vaccinated her horses. She did not supplement any of them. No medical care. Very violent. She even threw rocks at the horses. Caution: STAY AWAY FROM VOLCANO PARADISE RANCH!! CALL THE LOCAL FEED AND SUPPLY STORES IF YOU ARE QUESTIONING THIS POST. CALL THE LOCAL VETS. THEY WILL ALL SAY THE SAME THINK. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!
