What riders say about San Martin stables

Thorson's Arena

Very nice place! Plenty of good vibes, nice to be there! Allot of family and friends enjoying horses and ranch stuff

★★★★★ Alex, Apr 2022

Lone Oak Equestrian Center

I’ve been boarding and training my horse here for over a year, and I couldn’t ask for a better place. Shari and Stephen are incredibly kind, generous, and fair — true horse people who care deeply about both their clients and horses.

★★★★★ Annie, Feb 2026

Triple Bar Stables

I have been riding with Corrie for close to six years now and they have been the best six years of my life. Corrie has provided me with nothing but encouragement, support, positivity, kindness and education.
