What riders say about Lakeside stables

Circle TLC Ranch, Inc

Tammy and her team are amazing! The horses are all very sweet and the ranch is such a beautiful retreat from busy city life. There is no drama at this barn, just people who care about other people and animals.

★★★★★ Marion, Nov 2025

Heartland Ranch Equestrian Center

This is the best boarding facility in East County. Everything is kept in good repair. The horses are well fed. All riding areas - 2 riding arenas, 1 jumping arena, 1 dressage court, 1 sixty foot round pen, 1 one hundred foot round pen, and 1/2 mile track - are watered and drug 5 days a week.

★★★★★ Amy, Aug 2018

Triple S Horse Ranch

They keep mare mare fat and happy! Love how quite it is. There are several arenas to ride in, over 5 round pens, several grass pastures, multiple wash racks, trail access to the river bottom and tract around the facility.
