What riders say about Bonita stables

Mt. Miguel Equestrian Center

Over the last two decades I have observed the attention that Judy and Tony Tieber, owner-managers, have shown to ever horse on the ranch. Their nightly inspections and over the top care of every single horse has so impressed me.

★★★★★ Sue, May 2017

Sweetwater Farms

My daughter has been taking lessons at Sweetwater for several years. The trainers have been so good to her. She has gained so many skills, and her confidence has soared! My daughter has been a working student at the barn which allows her to gain leadership and teaching skills. The community is warm and welcoming.
