What riders say about Arroyo Grande stables
Been coming here for over a year now and have never felt more welcome. I work from home and man what a great place to get some fresh air, meet some new faces, and learn how to ride horses. Sun King is always welcome to visitors.
The Ranch at Varian Equestrian
The Ranch at Varian Equestrian truly stands out as one of the most beautiful Central Coast ranch wedding venues. The property has an incredible setting just outside Arroyo Grande, surrounded by rolling hills, pastures, and open skies that perfectly capture the relaxed beauty of the Central Coast.
Gillian Larson Wilderness Horsemanship
This was an excellent workshop providing a comprehensive overview on back country horse packing with a well balanced mix of hands on demonstrations, lectures, and show and tell on equipment and gear to prepare one for their own back country horse journey.
