What riders say about Rancho Santa Fe stables

Hegewisch Stables | Horseback Riding Lessons, Hunter-Jumper Training & Camps, riding lessons for children & adults.

One of the best charity events I've ever done. Walking horses for the fight against child obesity. Karla was a pleasure to work with.

The Riding Club Academy

I have been riding with The Riding Club for close to 6 years now and cannot recommend it enough. Rachel is amazing and the horses are well cared for and loved. I have learned a great deal about both the discipline and horsemanship and can easily attribute my passion for the sport to The Riding Club

★★★★★ Lieke, May 2024

Huckleberry Lane Farms

We love Amanda and her team! My daughter has now been riding with her for over a year and is now on the jumper/ hunter circuit! Great way for young kids, and especially young GB teens to spend their time learning the skills needed to take care of a horse and train to compete.
