Heartland Ranch Equestrian Center 12139 Moreno Avenue, Lakeside, CA 92040

"Sunshine Theraputic Riding Center designs lessons to fit the needs and abilities of the riders. Here is a lesson in caring for the horse before the riding lesson."

"Absolutely love this place!!! My previous ranch changed ownership and it became clear that MONEY was the only thing they cared about. My horses were injured several times and NOT ONCE did they contact me to let me know! Other boarders were the ones who had to tell me. At heartland anytime they see an issue they promptly let me know. I am so relieved to know my horses are truly cared for here and watched over! Plus the facility is A thousand times better than my previous facility!"

"I have been boarding at Heartland for over 11 years, the best years of my horse ownership life. The facility is wonderful with arenas, round pens, turnout pastures, riding track, tack rooms - all very well maintained and upgraded constantly. The staff and trainers are professional, experienced, highly knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. If a situation arises, they always work to solve the problem with the best interest of horse and owner in mind. And the best part - the horses love it there and they thrive."

"This is the best boarding facility in East County. Everything is kept in good repair. The horses are well fed. All riding areas - 2 riding arenas, 1 jumping arena, 1 dressage court, 1 sixty foot round pen, 1 one hundred foot round pen, and 1/2 mile track - are watered and drug 5 days a week. The corrals are cleaned well every day. There is a lovely meeting area under a huge, lighted gazebo in the center of the ranch. Private and semi private tack rooms are available and you can customize them to suit your needs. There is plenty of trailer parking. The fees are very reasonable for the quality of care the horses receive. The staff is very friendly, willing to help, and do their very best to care for the horses. The owners are very thoughtful people and offer all kinds of options to help you care for your horse in a way that you deem best. The boarders are friendly. It's a very happy place to keep your horse."

"Met with Pam and Kelly today to discuss lessons for my daughter. They are both awesome and kind people. Looking forward to having my daughter learn all about horses from these smart ladies."
