What riders say about Escondido stables
San Pasqual Valley Ranch & Devenport Training
Wonderful manager to meet. His daughters are very nice to work with. Beautiful animals, with silly personalities to boot- each of them are so unique, especially Starbuck, the gentle giant 🐴. Awesome instructors.
I have been taking lessons since Aug. 2023 with Alena and it has been an incredible experience. The entire team is very helpful and happy to teach. Alena is able to teach and make it so much fun at the same time.
This place is really truly a hidden gem. Yasmin, the trainer, is sweet and patient and really knowledgeable about how to introduce kids to handling the animals. There’s even a lounge to hang out at where you can watch the kids ride and get acquainted with the ponies. Princess is my personal favorite! Worth your time.
