What riders say about Watsonville stables
Monterey Bay Horsemanship & Therapeutic Center
This is a beautiful setting with lots of caring individuals and gentle horses. If you or someone you love needs a little time with their equestrian friends, this is a wonderful place to come.
Gina is the most knowledgeable horse person I know! I would trust any horse in her care. She knows a lot about special horse health issues. I always ask her for advice. I highly recommend her and her farm!
I had a great experience hauling a horse from their very friendly owners beautiful very well kept Ranch
