    Wash racks

    I couldn't be happier that I made the decision to move my clients, 25+ horses, to Santiago Equestrian Center last July! David constantly improves the facility, values boarder/trainer input, and puts the horses safety and well-being before everything else. Francisco is the best maintenance man ever and his guys are knowledgeable and helpful. Our horses are SO happy, well fed, and well cared for! The arenas dry out really well after the rain and we're lucky enough to have a covered pen to ride in during the winter! The footing and grounds are very well maintained and David makes sure the hay provided is great quality! We love SEC!!!

    Just moved in this past week and it already is feeling like home. My horse and I were so warmly welcomed by the boarders, horses and staff. My horse has settled in nicely and I love the options for feedings for the horses. The improvements and community are making SEC a much desired boarding facility!

    The new management is abysmal... Rude disrespectful and arrogant... There are rats everywhere and the place is a shambles... There are no proper facilities, cross ties, tack rooms or wash racks. The facilities are unsafe with rusty pipe stalls and leaky unstable roofs and uneven grounds- no proper drainage The current management is hiring amateurs who don't know anything about horses, turnouts, etc... The "Contractor" they have hired to perform work at the barn is unlicensed as he lost his licensxe this past year The managers stall is being reported to PETA for horse neglect The only restroom is a porta potty It's unsafe for horses and run by complete amateurs who have no horse sense or experience Do not recommend

    Broken and rusted panels all over causing injury to horses

    It's difficult for me to write this, because SEC was once my favorite place to be. While not perfect, the new management is why I left. The only reason I was staying was my trainer. Since he left, i pulled my 5 horses. While gone for the weekend, i returned to a very dirty water bowl my horse was drinking out of.... Not cool. I asked management if they could clean the bowl, which had been done with previous management, and in a very condescending response i was told they supply the bowl we need to clean it... okay. Then while cleaning my horses stalls, i noticed one of my horses literally had a carpet of uncleaned shavings mixed with Feed... creating an ecosystem of all sorts of creatures.... I had to use shovels to get this out and it was about 1/2 his stall.... Like Adobe brick... and think the most rancid smell ever of rotting hay and urine. While reporting to management, i was told "i use too many shavings". This was seriously disappointing considering that many horses at this barn are on mats only, no shavings at all. Management told me it takes too long to Clean my stalls. So after disagreeing, because i care about the health and well being of my horse, even offering to pay extra to have my horses water bowl cleaned, I was encouraged by management to leave. Gladly. Rodents had also become a problem and the amount of rat droppings in my blanket bags led me to just throw them away. The thing is, the barn is in disarray, wash racks that smell awful because they have lack of proper drainage, excessive run off from wash racks. The awful smell from stalls with boarders who don't use shavings... which is also neglectful. The rotting arena rails... uneven breezeway, all that wasn't as noticeable when management seemed to care. It's truly sad. I wish the people who still board there the best, and hopefully those things will be fixed for those coming in because it can be a great place. I'm thankful to find locations for my 5 horses that these issues don't exist. It's sad to me that because i asked for these things to be addressed, i was asked to leave, and especially for horses who don't have proper bedding as well as clean stalls. Photos attached.

    Nice and cozy in his bed

    My horse is so happy at Santiago Equestrian Center! All the horses are always well taken care of and very calm. The staff is super helpful and friendly to us boarders and our horses. Love this place!

    I love being a part of Santiago Equestrian Center! The management is fantastic, very attentive, and so helpful. The people are great, and the horses are so happy. So glad that Napoleon and I have our home here!

    See all

    I decided to write a review regarding the horseback riding lessons at this wonderful stable and I…read moremust say, it has been an incredible experience for my daughter Delilah. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcome and at ease. The instructor, Laura, was knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain everything in detail and ensuring that my daughter feels comfortable before getting on the horse. The horses themselves were well-trained and gentle, making it easy for a beginner like my daughter to learn the basics of riding. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with a spacious arena for practicing different exercises and techniques. Throughout the lessons in these past 6 months we have see the improvement and how she is gaining confidence with each ride. Laura provides helpful feedback and guidance, pushing Delilah to challenge herself and try new things. Overall, I highly recommend taking horseback riding lessons at this stable. I read a recent review left by someone claiming that the staff here are not kind or welcoming to minorities. This has never been the case for us as we are Mexican. So that statement is far from being true. I highly recommend this place to all who are looking to start horseback riding. My daughter is 14 and looks forward to her classes with Laura and her favorite horse, Skylar. Thank you so much! Best, Delilah's parents

    My daughter has been taking riding lessons here since March of this year. She's been riding off…read moreand on for the last few years and we moved here from horse town USA, Norco. This is a great riding center. Trainer Laura is amazing and she is so great with the students. She is patient and really teaches. All the school horses are are great and very well taken care of.. They teach/train all levels, from beginners to advanced. My daughter's riding has improved so much since starting here and she loves it. The pricing is very reasonable and I think you get so much more vs other riding schools/centers we've been too. All the staff is attentive and courteous. The barn area is always clean and organized. There are quite a few riding schools in the area and we checked them out. I am so happy we landed here. We love FFF!
