What riders say about El Cajon stables

Willow Glen Equestrian Center

Courtney does a great job with kids. Our family is interracial and kids are of mixed race so to be honest I was hesitant taking them to ride horses and train in East County but it was a non issue.

★★★★★ Samantha, Nov 2021

Hidden Fox Farm

Good riding center. Lots of fun for everyone. I brought my horse here right out of college, and I have kept riding here with my two young kids. There is a nice pony we lease for my kids. Good trail rides and a nice group of ladies to chat with and be around.
