Grand Paradise Ranch Inc - Caseyville, Illinois

Last year during covid my kids were restless and needed something to do. They loved watching shows with horses and begged me to find them a place to learn. When we found Grand paradise ranch, it was like coming home. Jessica is so amazing with kids! My kids have gone from knowing nothing about horses to riding better than I ever have. There were a few accidents (which we all know happens every now and then) and Jessica handled them like a pro. She stayed calmed and made sure everyone was alright and got the kids right back to riding. If the army wasn’t sending us someplace else, we would stay here just for our kids to continue learning here. My son has gone from being anxious all the time to being calm and level headed (he even hums songs to the horse he is riding) and my daughter has come out of her shy shell and is being more open about her feelings and what she wants (thank you patches for being so stubborn). So this isn’t just a place to learn how to ride. This is a place that makes you feel like you are home and teaches you all sorts of life lessons. So thank you Jessica and all those who have made our short time here so wonderful. We will come back and see you, I promise!

I really like Grand Paradise Ranch. My granddaughters have just started lessons. Jess is a wonderful instructor. The girls seem to enjoy riding and I love watching them learn. I’m hoping they continue and become skillful riders. There is nothing more beautiful than the connection between a rider and the horse.

Very clean and horses are treated very kindly. Daily turnout, weather permitting. Automatic watering in stalls. Stalls cleaned daily. Excellent instructor for riding lessons. Beautiful grounds and arena. Very nice owners. World-class farrier. Best stable all around.

We brought our recently retired from breeding, standard bred mare here for her retirement years, so she could be close by. The barns and grounds are well maintained. The horses are turned out weather permitting and brought back in during impending bad weather and when the heat rises too high. The barns are cooled with industrial fans above each stall. Jessica, a USDF Gold Medalist, offers group and private riding lessons to all ages, whether for pleasure or shows. The owners truly love their clients and their horses like they are family, as do the other horse owners.

They turned my mare out on her second day there and then introduced her to a mare at a time until all of the mares were out together. It was done to reduce the risk of injury to any of the mares as they set into adjusting their pecking order with the new arrival. My mare found her new Bestie by the end of the evening and she nor I could be happier with how well she’s settled in. I cannot thank everyone there enough for being so amazing!
