Marlowe Show Stables

Debi is an EXCELLENT teacher with a true sense of horsemanship. I originally bought the Groupon for three lessons, and within the first lesson I realized how lucky I was to have found her. She is patient, kind and understanding. It is very hard to find an english horseback riding instructor who is not constantly ripping you to shreds, and Debi is definitely more helpful than any teacher I have ever had and is SO kind in the way she makes your corrections. She has taught me to become a better rider and become more confident in my horseback riding in general. I would HIGHLY recommend you or your friends/​family take lessons with Debi because there is NO other place that teaches you as well as she does. The barn is spic-​and-​span with workers helping keep clean around the clock. It’s hard to believe it is a barn, because it is top notch tidy! Please, before you consider riding anywhere else in SoCal, consider this flawless barn. Consider yourself blessed.

Debi is a great teacher and I’m so glad I found her school. She will teach you how to ride English correctly and fast. The horse I practice on, Mago, is simply amazing! Very smart, calm and the sweetest personality :) I always feel safe riding him. And the fact the horses are very well taken care of, and they noticeably love Debi, makes me feel good about going here!

I purchased a group on for 5 lessons and when I called to make an appointment, I was screened with bunch of questions, How many lessons I bought, where I live (apparently they’re moving to Calabasas and then Height, Weight and Age all of which I think is a bit much. Then I was told that they have a weight limit of 150lbs and so they did not have a horse big enough for me.
I have never in my life heard of a 150lb weight limit for a horse before but this is something that should be put on the Groupon. Hell, it’s not even on their website. I truly believe this was a way for them NOT to honor their Groupon sale which I find very dishonest and distasteful.

My 12-​year old son, fiancé and myself have been taking weekly lessons with Debbi for over three months now. She is an expert teacher/​trainer and horse specialist. The degree of her knowledge and correct posture/​position are easily evident in her two daughters– Gracie and Emma, both exceptional award-​winning riders and budding smart instructors. Debbi teaches with great patience and you can tell she genuinely cares for your progress and development. She encourages questions, has over 25+ years of equestrian experience and loves what she does. The horses are exceptional, well-​taken care of and therefore great to learn on. We can’t say enough about the quality of horses– We love them!
Debbi and her daughters are delightful to learn from. We are amazed at how much we have learned in such a short time. Debbi understands when to take it easy on you, and when to push you to further your skills– a great and tricky combination most people cant easily balance. The shadow hills equestrian center is a beautiful and private facility. This is a win– win in all directions. Great for all skill levels.

I got a deal at Groupon for 3 lessons and I’m glad I did.
For appointments, you can call or text Debi. if u hv plans, Its better to schedule a week ahead.
If you need equipments, you can call in and ask if they hv it. I didnt have helmet and shoes, but they lend me.
This place is not hard to find if you pay attention to the signs and my instructions.
When u arrive, you will see 10 263 number with «shadow hills riding club» text&arrow. Just drive in to the alley and park on the right hand side. Then, walk straight and turn left where it has a small path. U kind of see a small building (office) at the end. Once you walked to the office, look for Debi.
She is tall, skinny, and friendly.
For beginners, she will let u ride Mago. Mago is well trained and gentle.
She teaches u how to scrub the hair, vacuum it before you start riding.
For the 3 lessons In had, Debi patiently taught me how to ride, trot and post.
She will correct my gesture, which i think its important for beginners.
I will totally recommend this place.

I have been taking lessons for a few weeks now and I have improved a lot since I’ve been riding with Debbi. Debbi is an incredible and professional trainer who taught me easily through riding and grooming.
I’m only a beginner but felt extremely safe and really enjoyed with Debbi and Mago.
Mago is a great, lovely and gentle horse. i already love him so much!
I will definitely be back for more lessons.
I highly recommend.

Debi and her daughter were great. In just three short lessons I learned how to trot properly. They taught me a lot about horses, grooming, and the proper way of riding. They were very hands on. I felt extremely safe. I will definitely be back for more lessons.

What can we say about Debi. She is amazing wonderful Horse trainer. Debi loves what she does. It show in the lesson. We have bean ridding with Debi for over a year. If you or your kids are interested in ridding. I would call Debi Asa’s. Before she is booked up. Debi only has the best ponies and horses. Debi has bean ridding for over 40 years. Debi is honest just amazing. Debi isn’t just our daughters trainer, but part of our family. ;)

My daughter has learned so much from Debi Marlowe at Marlowe Show Stables. She has taken riding lessons and done some horse shows. Debi’s two daughters are expert riders – it’s like having three trainers. It is inspiring to watch them ride. Safety is a priority. Her horses and ponies are expertly trained and very well cared for. Debi’s training style is positive reinforcement. Her teaching of proper equitation is very thorough, from the finger tips to the feet and everything in between.

My daughter LOVES working with Debi and her ponies! She looks forward to her riding days and really has found her sport. As a parent, it is so comforting to see how great Debi’s daughters are and to see them also work with the kids.
So glad to have found them!
