What riders say about Thousand Palms stables

Rancho El Refugio

Amazing ranch! If you are looking for an authentic ranch to host your private events this is the place, its centrally located, they have horses! Provide tables, chairs, and even a jumper for the children. Carlos the owner is extremely accommodating and kind.

★★★★★ Bianca, Oct 2020

Shadow Mountain Ranch

I have had horses in the desert since the late '90s. I have also been at Shadow Mountain Ranch, both as a client and as a traveling trainer, off and on since 2010. Zandy, the owner, is great and her help is wonderful; the facilities are well cared for and I really don't have anything negative to say.
