What riders say about Valley Center stables

Wylde Horses Therapeutic Riding Facility

There are places that do more than provide a service — they create something truly life-changing. This equine therapy program is one of those rare gems in San Diego. Family-owned and built with heart, it is a place where compassion, healing, and connection come together in a beautiful way.

Rising Storm Stables

I've been meaning to give the folks at Rising Storm a 5 star review for awhile now. I truly believe that my horse Alizar would not have reached his 30th birthday without the love and excellent care he receives from the skilled and knowledgable horse people there.

★★★★★ Shannon, Mar 2024

Apollo Equestrian at CW Farms

My daughter has taken lessons from Katie for 8 years and would rather be here than anywhere....now at 15! Katie is knowledgeable, patient, and determined to grow her students into skilled, competent equestrians. She also emphasizes fun and team bonding. I highly recommend her!
