Powered by GoogleI volunteered and rode with Rancho Escondido Therapeutic Riding for 2 years and I can't wait to go back and visit. They accommodate all levels of riders and they truly do care for their horses. They are very Military friendly. The trainers are very experienced and do a good job of teaching the basics, to include everything from how to groom and saddle thr horse. It's a very family friendly environment. If you are considering taking lessons or even volunteering, you must check out Rancho!
My daughter had her first riding lesson here 12/30/23. She had a great experience with the Ranch Team and horses. I highly recommend it here. We will continue the lessons and will spread word of mouth. I hope this continues to be around. Definitely impressed. Thank you to all!
Love this place it's pretty much like my second home it's Christian btw Kimber lol
Great people. Good attention and care to those who are there for the first time.
First time time here, staff was very good with the kids. Really nothing to complain about.
