There are some kind boarders here and the help are lovely folk. May work well for absentee…read moreboarders, of which there are many, as the care seems fine and the drama and nasty folk can be avoided. I have experienced first-rate barns (i.e. Adamcin Equestrian) run by knowledgeable owners and trainers and this barn is not that. Owners permit their pack of ill-mannered dogs (6 or so) to run at large, something, no reputable barn would do. My horse spooked when the Owners dog charged him. The Owners refused responsibility, instead claiming my horse and I presented the liability risk and asked me to leave. Also told me I did not "fit in." Same dog charged another boarder's horse, while she was mounted, causing him to buck. Liability issues here are self-inflicted by the Owners. There are nasty boarders that appear to thrive on drama and bullying: a busy body, self-proclaimed "expert" offers unsolicited criticism and insulting comments, and a pathetic bully who threatened me and, among other insults, stated my horse (sweetest gelding around) should get a bullet to his head. I had never had a conversation with this disturbed individual until he approached and abused me. You will not find high standards of horsemanship or equitation, not surprising, given the above. Happy to have not "fit in" at this looney barn.

We are both experienced riders and went with a group of people who had a variety of experience. The trail was on varied terrain, up hills and down into a small canyon, all in the beautiful Catalina State park. Our guide didn't talk too much and since it was couples she let us us talk amongst ourselves which was nice. She made sure everyone was having a good time and that the group was staying together. She also gave a little bit of history on one of the historical sites in the distance. The stables themselves are very nice and everything is really well taken care of. The horses are extremely well taken care of and are not overworked. They have shade when resting between rides and even a small snack. The owner lives on site and really cares about the comfort of her guests and makes sure you are given a horse to match your experience level. I can't wait to to go again, thank you Pusch Ridge!!!

All the horses were well behaved and well-groomed. The staff picked appropriate size and temperament horses for each rider. Ample instructions were carefully given to each rider.

The stables are conveniently located just east of Oracle Rd.
