What riders say about Santa Paula stables

Prancer’s Farm

we went in october of 2023 and had a great time at Prancers farm, it was a bit windy but at no fault of Prancers farm. all the staff was very friendly! pumpkins everywhere, the pony rides where just perfect for the little ones and we noticed that they rotate the ponnies so they are not working all day.

★★★★★ Lulu, Oct 2023

Aliso Ranch Stables

Love this boarding facility! Best staff ever! Several round pens, huge arena, trails and paddocks to turn out too! Boarders are fantastic, staff is wonderful, cannot say enough about this facility.

★★★★★ Cassandra, Nov 2025

Willow Creek Ranch

Both of my Thoroughbreds love WCR! The staff are amazing and care so much about the horses. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful. As a hunter/jumper rider my horses thrive on having turnout and being able to go out on trails, work in the ring, or just take a stroll around the property.
