What riders say about Apple Valley stables

Oak Springs Ranch Riding

Place is great plus campground too! Glenn and Diane are right on and very friendly Check out the horse stables and take a ride.

★★★★★ Randall, Mar 2023

Double 6 Ranch

This is a professional, yet private ranch with an excellent reputation. They offer training for both horses and riders and have a proven history in celebrity circles with some A-list celebrities having personally trained with them. The owner is very personable, knowledgeable and professional.

★★★★★ Anthony, Dec 2024

Rancho El Milagro

So happy to finally visit El Rancho Milagro, a beautiful family-owned ranch surrounded by the High Desert mountains. 🏜️🐎 We loved seeing so many horses and admiring the creative way they’ve recycled old materials into unique works of art. Truly a place filled with inspiration and heart!
