What riders say about Yucca Valley stables

Knob Hill Ranch

Shout out to Chris - he made this an outstanding experience. I also want to shout out to Madeleine at the office. I first called and was told they were fully booked. I asked them to give me a call in case something opened. And they did! They booked us on a tour the following morning.

Blue Barn Ranch

KC is my German shepherd that I rescued when he was 3. He was not properly socialized when he was a puppy and is fearful of people. Since he is 10 now he is a complete snuggle puppy when he trusts you but it is hard for him to trust...

★★★★★ Leanne, Dec 2024

White Rock Horse Rescue

I have adopted 2 horses from White Rock Rescue. The owner worked with us for about a year to help give my granddaughter customized riding lessons and then pick a horse that 'is a real good match' for our household.
