What riders say about Del Mar stables
This is a beautiful, highly professional, well-maintained equestrian show grounds. The competitors have all been friendly, open & patient with visitors questions. I have never personally experienced anything here but a welcoming attitude from all. I love the huge, well-groomed arenas, either grass or dirt.
It is an amazing barn and every one there is so nice and the trainer Jasmin is a great teacher. She takes amazing care of the horses and everyone comments on how healthy they all are. I would definitely recommend this barn for any level rider.
I moved to Jason and Susan in October 2023 and they have been amazing. My trainer of eight years was retiring and they came highly recommend. I most value my horses’ care and I know they are in great hands with the McArdle’s.
