    One of the turn outs
    Athena O.

    I had two of my horses here at Hidden Hills from 2017-2021. I had both Summer and Cazador in the 12x24hrs first. I was notified immediately of any issues that happened and have never been concerned over the care my horses received. I had moved Summer to a different stall before I left for work in the early AM and was notified immediately that she was acting colicy, pacing, and just losing her shit by Marilyn. Luckily, she was just pissed I had moved her away from her friend. I moved Summer to Texas in 2018 which left just Cazador at Hidden Hills. I moved Cazador into Training with Nichole Payne. During this time, I always felt like she took care of him the same way she took care of her own. I often times spent many hours at the barn and never saw any "abuse" that i'm reading in these other reviews. Nor were horses "starved". I saw some come in skinny but then put on weight with proper feeding. In 2019, I was involved in a catastrophic incident (non horse related) that left me wheelchair bound and bed ridden for a long time. Nichole handled everything for Cazador for me, whether it was vetting, farrier, keeping me updated. She even helped me with my first ride back after my incident. He had a long episode of laminitis, that was initially misdiagnosed by a vet and Nichole spent countless hours and days rehabbing him herself while I couldn't. Unfortunately in 2021, I had to rehome him and Nichole found a lovely new owner for him and he is still at Hidden Hills today. I can go on and on about the care and all sorts of different instances the owners & Nichole have done for me and my horses. Besides all of this, the location is just beautiful. They have every sort of option that you could need, stalls, barns, paddocks, and pastures. They have multiple arena's, round pen, and even a trail that loops around the property. I urge anyone thinking of boarding here or anywhere for that matter to go down and take a tour & meet the owners/trainers for yourself. Walk the property and look at all the horses there.

    My partner and Cazador!

    I have boarded my horse Killian here with my partner who rescues horses and boards her horses here as well. I am an active duty service member in the USMC and was required to deploy to Japan in 2022 in addition to field trainings that have required me to be away from Killian for extended periods of time. Killian lives in the upper pasture with his pasture mates and loves to get himself dirty and run around with his friends! Our horses have been very well taken care of throughout my time at Hidden Hills. Marilyn, Courtney and Nichole helped care for Killian while I was deployed and have always notified me when they noticed anything wrong with him. They helped rehab my partner's horse Max back to health after he injured himself in the pasture from a kick with his pasture mate. I am and have always been able to rely on their team to care for my horse and my partner's horses when we are away from home due to work. I would highly recommend boarding here as the owners and their entire staff are friendly, kind, respectful and always willing to help. I can honestly say that Killian is extremely well cared for and happy here at Hidden Hills!

    Flooding in stall on opposite side of pole barn

    I was asked by Yelp to provide a more detailed review so here it is. My wife and i boarded here for several years. In recent months we have dealt with an increasing number of issues including poor maintenance of the arenas and round pen (dragging, watering in summer, leveling), feeding improper hay (potentially dangerous since our horse has IR), shavings we paid for being missed because they ran out (multiple times). Our stall flooded badly many times and all the repair/maintenance had to be done by us. Many other stalls in the pole barn flooded as well on a routine basis, and many had damaged sections in the wire between the stalls. it became increasingly our job to make sure our horse had the proper hay, a dry stall and enough bedding, which we supplemented with extra shavings and pellets we had to purchase.

    My horses and I in the upper pasture area... clearly everyone is happy and healthy

    See all

It was beautifully decorated and we felt a tremendous amount of joy and peace just walking around admiring the beautiful wooden buildings and their architecture with carefully placed decorations all over. They had several fires going which just added so much warmth and comfort to the already uplifting scenery. We were fortunate enough to sit down near one of the owners and got the chance to speak with him for a while. He was very welcoming and warm person and we happily thanked him for having us at his beautiful establishment. We also got the chance to visit and pet some of the animals! (with permission) It was a big highlight for us last year during the holiday season and we hope to be able to visit again someday!

    My 11-year-old son attended Rawhide Ranch for a one-week summer camp. As part of the camp's policy,…read morechildren do not have access to electronics or direct communication with parents during their stay. Prior to camp, we arranged a simple system where he could signal me through a snack purchase if he needed help. Early on the third day, he used that signal. I called the camp and did not receive a response. After approximately eight hours, I called again and requested to speak with the camp director, I was eventually connected with the camp director, who indicated there had been an issue earlier that day involving my son and wrong medication being given. After insisting, I was allowed to speak with my son. He was clearly distressed and informed me that he had been given the wrong medication that morning. Instead of his usual over-the-counter allergy medication, he was given a high-dose antidepressant not prescribed to him and not intended for a child his age. According to the information provided to me, staff at the health office realized the error and attempted to have him self induce vomiting with a spoon, (he was instructed to stick the spoon down his throat), which was unsuccessful. They then contacted poison control for guidance. At no point during this process was I notified. After speaking with my son, I decided to pick him up immediately. When I arrived, I found communication from staff to be limited, and I was unable to get clear or detailed information about the incident despite asking direct questions. I requested to speak with the camp director, who eventually met with me. During that interaction, I found his demeanor to be notably nonchalant given the circumstances. The situation--a child being given the wrong medication and the parent not being notified--was presented in a way that did not reflect the level of concern I would have expected. When I attempted to ask for clarification and express concern about what had happened, the conversation became extremely tense. There was a clear difference in how seriously the situation was being viewed, and the discussion escalated into a heated verbal exchange. Given the lack of clear communication and the response to what I consider a serious safety issue, I made the decision to withdraw my son from the camp that same night. Following the incident, I contacted the camp multiple times. I was initially told that a refund would not be provided, though I was offered a credit for a future summer. After further communication, I did receive a refund. I also attempted to reach out to members of the organization's leadership to share concerns about the incident. This experience was extremely concerning, particularly given the seriousness of a medication error involving a child and the lack of timely parent notification.

She keeps a cool head and always has a huge smile on her face, I felt as if I'd known her for years after the very first meeting! She helped every step of the way, from planning, to suggesting vendors like the DJ and officiant, to helping with set-up and adding her own little touches to the tables. On the day, Lindy helped calm me down when I was nervous, kept everyone in touch among the two parties when we were getting ready, but while she worked she stayed so under the radar, quietly and almost unseen just cleaning up and making sure everything was running smoothly; I cannot sing Lindy's praises enough! The venue itself is sublime - rustic, beautiful, intimate but open and with plenty of space for any party. We had around 50 guests which is way below capacity but the way Lindy and her team arranged the tables made it feel just right. For a fairly cold evening (January wedding), the fire pit and the two heaters they provided were most welcome! We even had a most welcome and blessed visit from site cat Ninja who was a big hit! Everything was just utterly perfect, all our guests said this was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor venue, you will not find a more perfect place than Quail Haven. Thank you so much for everything Lindy!

Our first lesson was with Vicky and she was great!

Helmets are available for use as well. Vicky was excellent in communicating with my daughter the entire time and listened when she spoke--another plus for me! The lesson was short enough to keep my daughters attention and long enough for her to ride and have fun. I feel we will continue our lessons here and look forward to working with some of the other trainers! Grounds are beautiful and the horses look happy here.

Jody taught me a lot about horses, not only riding and proper equitation, but also the horsemanship, which makes a big difference if you want to be really good with horses and understand them better. During the 6 years that I've been with Jody, I'v significantly improved my equitation. We also started circus contortion with horses, and now introduced trick-riding. Jody can help anyone achieve their dream with horses. Jody's horses are all very well taken care of. They are more like dogs than horses. They're very lovely and friendly - a true joy to ride. I highly recommend Jody's riding school to anyone who want to give horseback riding a chance, or - hone their skills.

She breaks things down in an easy to understand format making the training experience extremely easy & enjoyable. Whether you are a complete beginner; wanting to learn to trail ride; someone coming back from a bad experience on a horse; retired and decided you wanted to learn to ride a horse; just need a tune-up; need show and obstacle training; Jody can help you will literally anything. Her vast knowledge with horses and training is endless. I have seen young kids to senior citizens in lessons with Jody and they are all riding like they have been riding for years. Best training ever. You will leave wanting to come back for more. The horses are all mostly gaited which means they are as smooth as silk and very safe; no bouncing or jarring to your back. Some of her horses even do tricks which she might show you if she has time--ask her about Chromie. If you are looking any kind of interaction with horses or lessons, look no further. This is a the place to go! Happy Trails!

When I stumbled upon Linda's facility, I knew it was perfect and when there was finally an opening I was elated! The facility has much of what you could ask for. It's one of the few pasture options in North County San Diego, has a small/large arena option, individual pastures with covered stalls for when it rains, tack rooms, wash racks, etc. and they are able to cater services to exactly what your horse needs! It was perfect for us and I am so relieved I can retire my horse and still see her often. Since boarding my horse there for the past year, she has had a few health issues, which Linda and her staff have gladly helped accommodate giving medications, monitoring her progress, and even assisting with moving to a dry lot pasture as she could no longer handle the grass. I can tell all the staff truly care for my horse and want to ensure she is healthy and happy, which is worth more than anything, especially since I don't see her everyday.
