What seems & feels like it would be out in the hinterlands of Ramona is actually located at the corner of Mercy Road and Black Mountain Rd., right off 15 Freeway south of the 56 Freeway. Yes, there is horse-boarding here but Canyonside Ranch also has horse-riding lessons for all ages, and hosts many Birthday parties and family get-togethers. Western and English riding skills are taught along with upper level dressage lessons. Beautiful Canyonside Community Park is right up the road and there are trails galore to go explore all around here. I was only visiting a horse with a friend but the stables and boarding area appeared to be clean and well kept. Most importantly, the horses seemed happy. Lovely place indeed.

The shelter of stray cats that Gayle maintains and transitions feral cats into tamed cats that "watch" the stable is almost fairytale like. You can witness at least 1 cat in the stable with a horse snuggling, hissing, or grooming. Being at the farm reminds me of the movie "water for Elephants" If this is the business you're looking for- I highly suggest the Farms @ Del Mar

I'm not sure it's exactly like riding a bike--but Karen made me feel completely at ease from the start. Kiwi, my horse, was incredibly patient and gentle with me. I swear she knew I needed a little extra TLC! It made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. I even got to do a tiny bit of trotting, which was such a fun bonus. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to try horseback riding or get back into it!

Straddling the US boarder and Mexico boarder is Pony land, which is located in San Diego county,…read moreChula Vista to be exact. The trail area was once used for navy training and a dump site; now for recreational use. The preserve/wetlands are patrolled and have cameras that are throughout the trails. Communities tucked in Tijuana canyons and US canyons. I'm not your average rider as I love cute mocktails on the beach and sewing in my spare time. Abort mission? By no means. Pony land is a family owned ranch that is also an interactive petting zoo. My tour guide was Rozka and while she was rather quite lovely, however, Lilly stole the show. A calm and gentle gal--yet a playful, curious, and sweet mare. She was not easily spooked by things or noises on the trail. No leaf eating for the horses during the journey, it is bad form. Horses have way more character than I would have thought! I have learned they can push your boundaries or engage in lighthearted mischief while sticking to their training. They do have porta potties on the grounds and customer service was wonderful. They also provide complimentary sunblock and mosquito spray--sprayed bug spray on horses for their protection as well. I enjoyed myself throughly and would definitely do it again. The wind in my hair and the views were breath stopping! Riding along the beach was wondrous and or romantic even--a truly magical experience. Until further notice, continuing to romanticize life. "No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle!"

I took some time to type this review as I would never want to negatively impact a company but…read morethought I owed it to the community to share our experience. We recently had a very disappointing and concerning experience with this horseback riding company. Unfortunately, the horses provided for our group did not appear to be properly trained or well-managed. Several of the horses were extremely difficult to control, and their behavior raised serious safety concerns from the start. During the ride, two horses became particularly unruly and ended up bucking, throwing two members of our group off onto the ground. This was a frightening and potentially dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious injury. While we understand that working with animals always carries some risk, this level of behavior suggests a lack of adequate training, supervision, or proper matching of horses to riders. After this negative experience the Owner refused to reimburse us. She offered us a credit to come back and take another ride with them. After this experience, the ladies are terrified to get on another horse. I would strongly encourage the company to review their safety protocols, horse training practices, and staff preparedness to ensure a safer experience for future guests. I leave you all with the horses are beautiful and you can tell they are well taken care but you should be a very experienced rider if you book with this company.

PLEASE READ THIS!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. FOR…read moreYOUR SAFTEY TRY ANOTHER HORSE COMPANY WITH BETTER TRAINED HORSES AND A MORE CARING OWNERS. This what I sent to the owner after my other friend send a massage. We were offered some type of credit. There's no way in hell I would ever return here! To top it off... the owner said she replied with an email after several attempts to get her to respond. Nothing! To give you an idea of our experience, I'm being very transparent and showing you what I sent to the owner and her not responding with any type of concern. Good afternoon, My name is Jonnie Thomas, and I was one of the eight riders on the Saturday, April 18th 2:30 PM trail ride with Gabby. I am writing to formally request a full refund for all eight participants due to the unsafe conditions and negligence we experienced during this ride. While we understand that waivers were signed, those waivers do not absolve your business from responsibility when horses are knowingly placed into service in unsafe conditions. Several horses appeared overworked (some reportedly on their third ride of the day), hungry, and agitated--conditions that directly contributed to dangerous and unpredictable behavior. I was assigned the horse Maverick and was explicitly warned about his aggressive tendencies. Despite having prior riding experience, it became immediately clear that this horse was not suitable for a group trail ride. During the ride: * Maverick attempted to buck me off early on. * He later bit Gabby, causing her to bleed. * On the return, he became unresponsive, agitated, and ultimately bucked me off causing myself injury. * He then ran off, spooking the other horses and causing a chain reaction that resulted in two additional riders falling. As a direct result of this incident: * Two riders required medical attention at urgent care. Sprained wrist and CT scan. * Multiple riders experienced significant emotional distress. * The ride became chaotic and unsafe for all participants. It is also concerning that, despite this being described as an "investigation," no one from your organization has contacted the riders involved to obtain firsthand statements. A proper and credible investigation must include the accounts of those directly affected. Given the severity of this incident, we expect: 1 A full refund for all eight riders 2 A prompt and direct response addressing this matter We request a response within 5 business days. If this matter is not resolved promptly, we will be forced to pursue additional steps, including formal complaints and public reviews detailing our experience. We would strongly prefer to resolve this matter professionally and without escalation. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Nothing! The owner is very unprofessional! Be warned! Please go somewhere else. *** I honestly can't believe the responses from this owner and Gabby!!!! Gabby was in the front so did not see the craziness that happened in the back. I have 8 girls saw Gabby get bit, so for her to deny she was bit is wild to me. 2 of our girls went to the hospital and yes, in fact had injuries. I wish I could upload our hospital paperwork. For the record, everyone wore a helmet. We were hesitant because of the nastiness and conditions of the helmet. Maverick should've never been taking out. Plain and simple! At this point I'm fighting for the principle of the outcome. I don't even care about the refund anymore. It's clear that the owner isn't going to give it and just continues to lie to protect her company, including her wrangler Gabby. Very disappointed! But this review is to warn the public! So many other options. I typically leave only POSITIVE reviews but I can't with this company.
