What riders say about San Luis Obispo stables

Coastal Equine Ranch

Very professionally run barn. The property is well maintained and they are always making updates and improvements. The management is nice and reliable, and the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. I’d highly recommend boarding here!

★★★★★ Kaitlyn, May 2020

Central Coast Boarding & Training Center

I've kept my horse here for 4 years now and love this place. They have amazing arenas and round pens, they are very consistent with feedings and keeping an eye on your horse. Great trails from property as well.

★★★★★ Shauna, Nov 2018

Meadow Creek Farm

The most wonderful equine boarding facility in San Luis Obispo. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and attentive to every need. Fellow horse boarders are a FUN, friendly, caring, sharing community. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
