Rancho El Camino Equestrian

Corina is awesome! If you’re looking to learn how to ride and want to have fun while learning everything about riding from A to Z Corina will take you through the most fun, challenging and rewarding experience !!

i like this place! the arenas never get overly crowded (just avoid the saturday morning crowd), plenty of cross ties and wash areas. the facility is kept clean and the horses are well kept. the people who ride here are friendly and low key. the downside is that unless you live in north county the commute can be brutal.

A beautiful facility in a fantastic location. My lease horse has been here for almost a year now and I never want to leave! The arenas are wonderful and the polytrack footing is great! Nice big round pens for lunging and ground work. BITS, the second hand store on the property, is the only place I buy breeches anymore. I do dressage and the on site trainer is fantastic. If you’re looking for a high end stable in a great location for showing with a laid back ranch environment this is the place!

Just had my first lesson after several years if not riding and had a fantastic experience! Sandy was an excellent trainer, really made me feel comfortable, gave good guidance and was great at giving me challenges while allowing me to get used to riding again. Lesson horses were excellent and the barn is in a beautiful area with a nice facility. Can’t wait to go back every week!!!

Back after several years at another facility, I am happy to be out of the drama! It is so nice that people can board here and not be obligated to any trainer but can try different options without feeling like they are stepping on toes. The guys who maintain the place are all so helpful and respectful of horses and their owners. They take pains to make sure your horse won’t spook if they need to do some repair or move past you. I am glad there is REC!

Great choice for getting back in the saddle! I hadn’t ridden in close to a decade, and was excited though a little nervous for the first time back. The staff as well as other riders and boarders were so helpful and welcoming, it felt like I had been coming here for years by the end of one lesson. Would highly recommend it for anyone thinking about returning to the sport or wanting to try for the first time!

I have been boarding my Gelding at Rancho El Camino for almost a year now and have had wonderful service! The care and feed is good quality and the staff is wonderful! Talk about the best place for weather also, great breeze off the ocean on those hot summer days! A+++++++

Fabulous place to board! Rancho El Camino took wonderful and personal care of my horse and provided everything needed to make boarding there easy and relaxing. Everyone I met were very friendly and considerate of others and their horses. A++

Ranch El Camino is fantastic! My boyfriend and I wanted to start riding so I looked at a lot of stables and am so happy we found Rancho El Camino. We LOVE this place! They have a great team of instructors and excellent school horses. We’ve been riding mostly with Sandy and she’s been perfect for us. She’s wonderful with my boyfriend who is totally new to horses. And she’s a very skilled dressage rider so I’ve been learning A LOT from her too. We also rode with Megan who is wonderful too. Megan’s specialty is western and like Sandy, she’s amazing with horses. Highly recommend either of these talented ladies. One of the things I liked immediately about Rancho El Camino was that even though there are some very high end horses and serious competitive riders and trainers here, there are also a lot of really down to earth people who just love horses and ride casually. It’s a great environment with something for everyone. Definitely recommend Rancho El Camino!

This is one of my favorite places to be. Aromatherapy at its finest. My zen…
The ranch is convenient, very easy to get to, right off the 5 freeway and close to the 56. There is driveway parking and plenty of it. I never have to park on the street. the people are all friendly and the atmosphere is light. The ranch hands are always around and eager to help. It is nice to know there are always another set of eyes watching your horse when you are not there.
The barn is always being renewed with fresh dirt and fresh paint. The arenas are dragged daily and watered.
There are a few different trainers here, so you have your pick. Western, dressage, jumping and my style, laid back. Different people and horses need different types of training, the UCSD equestrian teams is even here!
There is a Trail access and soon to be a walkway to the beach! I like trail and some arena work.
One of the REC equestrian trainers Sandi has been my trainer for over 7 years. She also trains my mom and daughter. We are all at different abilities and she is adept at all levels. From beginner to advanced, she is wonderful. There are other trainers here, but I personally recommend Sandi.
If you are looking for a new barn, or a friendlier barn, this is your spot. Rancho El Camino Equestrian is awesome!

I have been taking private lessons with Nancy and she is so patient with me. I have never rode horses before but decided recently that I want to learn how to jump. I love learning everything about the horses. The only thing that sucks is the smell lol
