What riders say about Santa Clarita stables

Gilchrist Farm

Great place for families to visit and enjoy the fall time festivities. They have a large petty zoo. The children can ride ponies. You can also buy crafts and also grab a snack. This is a priceless venue for children to have lots of fun. There is no charge to park. There is a small charge for the crafts and rides.

Santa Clarita Valley Equestrian Center

This place was amazing and the staff is so friendly. I had booked a trail ride for my 9yr old daughter and her 2 friends. Unfortunately when the day arrived everyone got sick with the flu! I was so worried about cancelling/rescheduling. They were totally cool about it!

★★★★★ Ashley, Apr 2018

Oak Creek Corral

Great place for kids to learn to ride, and learn responsibility in caring for and cleaning up after horses
