For example they have been known to demand kids clean up after others horses and order them out of the arenas so they can ride.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Z Equestrian in Costa Mesa! My 6-year-old daughter takes English riding lessons with Miss Emily, who is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and truly amazing with young riders. Both Miss Lexi and Miss Emily are wealths of knowledge and handle their students with such care. They don't just teach you how to sit on a horse; they focus on building strong foundations and fostering a genuine love for the animals. The communication is seamless, and the pricing is very fair. In a hobby that can get expensive quickly, we find this so much more fulfilling (and affordable!) than a Magic Key to Disneyland. My daughter is already dreaming of riding every single horse in the stable!

How absolutely blessed I was to find Zequestrian! Everything, absolutely everything, is perfect. Zara, my instructor, is patient and reassuring. I'm 100% comfortable in everything we do. She's intuitive and positive, gently correcting my mistakes in a way that makes me feel good about trying and really complimenting my successes. So much encouragement! She's knowledgeable and astute, I learn so much in the hour I'm there. I'm exactly where I want to be and feel inspired to keep going. The stable is always clean and organized. It's a joy to walk on the property. If you're looking to take lessons or have a child you want to get started, look no further...go to Zequestrian. Sara made it very easy to get started and has made me feel so, so welcome. Love, love, love this place- everything about it.

Plus, you might see a horse or two (or maybe their poop)! You never know what else you might find - we saw a few human-made enclosures made up of larger branches and bark set up along some of the bigger trees. My toddlers were on a bear hunt and were fascinated by them If you're not into walking on dirt, there's plenty of paved trails around the area as well. Several dog walkers, a few bikers, but mainly nice people who are just enjoying the fresh air. There's also a bathroom and a playground. But with the toddler-led bear hunt, we didn't check the playground out this time. Next time! As for parking - plenty of street parking.

I had a lesson here a few months ago & I still think about what a joke it was. I'd say im a pretty…read moreexperienced rider with many miles from all types of shows & different horses, I just quit riding about 9 years ago so it had been a while. I wanted to find a good center close to my job to pick back up where I left to compete & possibly purchase a horse. I arrived about 20 minutes early (I wasn't expecting to be seen or anything early) & there was only one girl there who was honestly very rude and obviously hated that I bothered her when I just asked her to confirm that I was in the right place. Sometime later, a lady came to sit next to me and sat with me until a minute after my scheduled time, got up and asked me if I was taking a lesson.... This was the instructor... she was sitting next to me the whole time not even acknowledging my existence. However, I shrugged this off- my problem was the actual lesson. Despite how early I got there, I still was deemed just 20 minutes of riding time ... when I use to take lessons, the lesson horses were always tacked up beforehand thus giving the rider adequate amount time. However I understand that the grooms are busy- so it was fine. But what didn't make sense was how to instructor I rode with took her time giving me a tour, showing me everything, going back & forth from the horse's stall to the tack room and everything in between *just wasting time*. Luckily I know how to brush & tack up so it was quick as possible but I can only imagine how long it would take for an inexperienced person to do so because even doing all of this for me it took a while What absolutely pissed me off was that I didn't get to jump and was NOT told this prior. If I was told- I would not have wasted my time coming at all. I had a fine flat lesson; me not riding for so long had no effect on my muscle memory and did not get any type of coaching from the instructor (which was fine, I'm at the level where I don't need an instructor to remind me to keep my heels down or shoulders back) & instead was complimented. At the end of my flatting, she tells me "you need a safety vest to jump or own your own horse" ... what??!!!? Why did nobody tell me this??? I didn't expect to jump high or do a full course- but I got absolutely nothing. When scheduling, I explained that I had experience- you would think at some point I would be told "by the way you can only jump if you own a horse" or even something like "this will only be a flat lesson". Apparently, it's an insurance liability if riders jump without a vest... I'm not a minor & signed documents understanding that sitting on a horse in general is a liability but okay god forbid there's no safety vest. I was seriously let down and i dont know how they expect riders here to move up. Safe to say I won't get back into competing or purchasing a horse with this center

My girls and I LOVE all the horses and ponies! They are all very well cared for and know how to take care of their riders! You can tell how much Ruthanna and Kendra love their horses! Another added bonus about Bridges, is they offer IEA and Pony Club!! We truly feel so lucky to have found such a great barn!
