Oregon Coast Sights

C & M Stables

C & M Stables Review

Ride year-round along the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area at C & M Stables, spotting not only marine life—sea lions, whales, and all manner of coastal birds—but also bald eagles, red-tailed fox, and deer. Rides range from hour-long trots to half-day adventures. Children must be at least eight years old for the beach ride or six years old for the dune trail rides. Please review the Web site for other restrictions and policies: www.oregonhorsebackriding.com. There are also six overnight RV spaces.

    This is by far the worst service I've ever experienced. The horses seemed to be in very poor health. I noticed one had a opening sores under its tail. None of the animals were wearing horseshoes to protect their hooves. At several points during the ride, my partner and I were left behind. It seemed as though we were riding the unruly horses and the main guide was in no way willing to help. We were constantly yelled at for no reason. If they weren't yelling at everyone, they were ignoring everyone. Needless to say I did not feel safe at all.
    The website states that you have an hour long ride once you get to the beach, we did not ride anywhere near that long. Perhaps 30 minutes total. Most of the time was stopping while they shouted out more rules or at the stable while they again, yelled even more.
    I have been horse back riding in almost every state in the US, however I have never been to such a place. The customer service was absolutely horrid, but mainly the animals should be properly cared for!
