What riders say about Sacramento stables

Sacramento's Craigmont Equestrian Center

The facility is well kept and clean. And if course all the horses were beautiful. I took my daughter there. She is 19 Months and it was her first time being next to a horse . She loved it. There was a trainer that took a special interest in our family and spent a long time telling my children about your horse, zeba.

Beach Lake Stables

It's a treasure for my family It s a private stable so it's not open to public access but Once a year for the last 14 years its open to Public in May during the annual WalkOnTheWildside !

★★★★★ Michellehardy, Jul 2019

Panoshe Ranch

I had been looking and looking for just the right trainer for my horse, and I'm so glad someone recommended Michelle. She has taken excellent care of my big baby, and I feel he's in good hands and is progressing well. Very professional operation, and she truly cares.

★★★★★ Michelle, Feb 2018
