What riders say about Malibu stables

High Horse Malibu

This is our second year in a row visiting High Horse Malibu, and both experiences have been wonderful. I brought one of my nephews last year and another this year, and we were lucky enough to have Laurel as our guide both times. Coming from a horse family, I really notice how well cared for the horses are.

★★★★★ Natalie, Aug 2026

LKH Equestrian

I’ve been riding with Laura for the past 6 years and have nothing but positive things to say about Laura and her horsemanship. She’s an amazing trainer, but more importantly, she cares deeply about the health and wellbeing of her horses.

★★★★★ Lydia, Dec 2024

Equine Therapy Malibu

If you are evaluating an executive retreat or a leadership development program, have your team visit Equine Therapy Malibu it is the best exec day retreat our team has done by a distance. The leadership outcomes and the team dynamics are unparalleled. Nobody rides.
