El Camino Ranch

"Poorly managed and maintained. Unorganized schedule which led to frequent cancellations and very disappointed children over here. Summer camp was more watergun war than horse camp. Not recommended!"

"My daughter's dreams fulfilled! After a few lessons she is independently controlling the horse thru the ring Her instructor Emlyn was very informative, calm and patient the first lesson. Sarabelle helped her gain confidence and expand on the skills and begin to control the horse by herself. There is a play structure that my youngest plays on while big sis has her lessons. It is clean, they are conscientious about safety and affordable compared to other ranches in the area."

"We love El Camino Ranch! Wonderful place to take riding lessons, go to the clinics, and volunteer at the boot camps. Love the instructors as well, they really teach my kids a lot. The horses are well taken care of all year long, and the facility is beautiful and clean. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning to ride or learn about horses to come here. The staff is amazing and everyone is so friendly here!"

"We had my daughter’s birthday party there on Saturday. We had a wonderful experience. I worked with Theresa in the beginning and she was very quick to communicate and return phone calls. She gave us a nice tour of the event space and surrounding stables in advance. There were SEVERAL volunteers on site the day of, and each of them approached us numerous times to see if we needed any help setting up/tearing down. The event center was cleaned and patio hosed off… the area was really pretty and we didn’t feel the need to bring any additional decorations, only a few chairs to put in the shade. The staff made sure we kept to the schedule; we did the horse rides, petting zoo and paint a pony. We finished with enough time for cake and presents. The kids enjoyed running around the outside patio, watching the horses, and playing on the small jungle gym. The paint a pony was the biggest hit! Even the shyest kids got into that one. Brice and the onsite staff were very helpful, and very patient with all the excited and anxious kids. The feedback I got from the other parents was also positive. The price was very very reasonable….. and comparable to what I would have spent on an at home birthday party with a bounce house. This was the MOST stress free birthday party I have thrown for my daughter. The only thing that would have been easier was if I got the liability forms for each of the kids signed prior to the party. We had to rush to get signatures right before the horse rides started. Theresa gave me 1 with the contract, but I wasn’t aware I had to give them to the parents of each kid (or she might have told me and I just forgot). Make copies and hand them out with your invites! We will definitely be returning to take advantage of the riding lessons and summer activities."
