What riders say about Ventura stables

Camp Arnaz Program Center - Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast

It's a fun place to visit for Christmas. Really nice Christmas decorations and activities. Santa was the best part for kids but petting the horses was nice too.

Cañada Larga Stables

Fantastic boarding facility. Calm and peaceful. Tons of trails and riding arenas.

★★★★★ Alan, Apr 2019

MCRC Equestrian

We have boarded our horse here since 2018, and I cannot express how lucky we feel to be at Cañada Larga Stables. The deep focus on each horse’s care and wellness, in addition to many hours put in to keep the stables in good shape is evident.
