Whittier Narrows Equestrian Center

I came across this equestrian center while trying to find a place to take my daughter for lessons. I was surprised to find this tucked away and in such good condition. The grounds are very well maintained and the people who have horses there are very friendly.

★★★★★ Nelson, May 2024

Urban Horseman

For anyone who was interested in horse riding lessons I recommend for the Love Of Horses with Holly. it’s a beautiful experience to be able to learn how to groom, ride and care for these beautiful animals. Holly is amazing and is so full of knowledge when it comes to all her horses.
