What riders say about Bakersfield stables

Rancho Rio Equestrian Center

Pam is an absolutely amazing person. She certainly knows her way around horses & how to make a person feel comfortable on a trail ride. From the start of me purchasing the secret birthday present for my wifey to when the horseback riding trip was complete Pam made it an incredible experience!

★★★★★ M, Apr 2025

MARE Riding Center

A wonderful place to receive therapy or to volunteer your services. Horses bring out the best in people! Such a peaceful and well kept ranch. Staff is kind and professional.

★★★★★ J, Sep 2020

PDM Training Stables

PDM is fantastic! It’s a great place for learning at all levels. They take great care of their riders and horses. My daughter would spend all day every day out there if she could.
