What riders say about San Jose stables

Prevost Ranch and Gardens

It was a spectacular experience to see blooming flowers. I will definitely buy the plants from there when i move to a house with the garden. Anyway! Love the horses in the green valley and there is complementary coffee who wants to enjoy the view with the coffee 😍.

Prince Horse Rental

Prince Horse Rental was such an authentic touch to our Indian wedding! As a bride, I've always imagined my prince charming to come on a white horse and take me away -- and that filmy dream came true with their help!

Wonderful ranch. They have been fixing it up. Ariana are looking good and the stalls are cleaned daily and in good working order.
