What riders say about Surprise stables

Second Chance Ranch

My son and my daughter were able to get a private lesson from Brian. My daughter took to everything right away and is very thankful for the dedicated time he gave her. Brian made sure she understood each step before he moved on to the next lesson.

★★★★★ Kyle, Sep 2025

Les Chevaux de Carlier

Beautiful property. The lady that showed me around (as the owners were away) was very nice and hospitable. I am awaiting a call back so that I can look into volunteering to groom horses or partially lease a horse. (My horse is retired at farm in KY)

★★★★☆ Michael, Mar 2024

West Desert Ranch

We are still happily a part of the West Desert Family, first as lesson takers, now as boarders. Could not be happier with the community here at this facility and how helpful Katie is with answering my questions as a first time horse owner.
