"I've had my young horse in training with Rob for about 4 or 5 months now and I couldn't be happier with how things have progressed. He has a way about him that is very gentle and calm but firm. Horses work for him because they want to. He is quite amazing with young, sensitive horses especially I think. Safety is paramount to Rob and he doesn't cut corners. He has a very strong work ethic and the horses in his charge get worked on a regular schedule that keep their minds and bodies fit and conditioned. I have never witnessed any injuries to horses due to pushing them too hard too soon. Rob will challenge you and stretch you out of your comfort zone at times, but he does so in a very easy going way that builds on your skills. He doesn't yell or make you feel insecure. He's great working with every level of rider and all of his lesson horses are well fed, well cared for and well loved. Cathy&Tulia"

"I started riding with Robert consistently during the pandemic. After having tried two other barns in the LA area, Robert was easily the best. He’s patient, easy-going, hard-working, and very knowledgeable. He puts a lot of care into his work, while also making it a really fun environment for people of all ages and levels. Robert also creates a supportive barn dynamic; everyone is super friendly and encouraging, and I’ve made some great friends here too."

"Robert and the team are brilliant. My riding form and confidence has increased significantly in a very short time. I rode as a kid, but was never taught properly. Fast forward many years and now I'm finally learning English style and properly. The horses are happy, healthy and lovely. Robert is very knowledgeable and a good trainer. It's also great to see the trainer ride, which I've not previously experienced at other stables. Sometime you'll see Robert riding during your lesson, it's inspiring but also it means he can monitor your positioning better, instead of always at a distance. Your encouraged to connect with the horses and you learn how to take care of them, this helped me build confidence. All of the other horse owners/leasee I've met there are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this stable for kids, for first time adults and seasoned riders. The arena is well kept, with jumps etc... but they also do trails. I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s lovely when your trainer is as excited as you when you have that moment where you’ve turn a big corner. Big shout out to Lilly as well, she has such a lovely manor, she loves the horses deeply and is so lovely to the little ones! They are a great team. Get booking, you won’t regret it."

"I have been with RJN Stables for 4 months now, and my horses couldn’t be happier! Robert and his program have helped my young horse so much and we are progressing so fast! The training, care, and attention to detail is amazing! Amazing lesson/training program, fantastic lesson horses, friendly and welcoming environment, and the best trainer and assistant EVER!!!!! I have never been so happy with a boarding/training facility!! Thanks RJN Stables!!!!!"

"The RJN stables training/riding program motto is safety, responsibility, and fun. We help people and horses of all ages and experience levels. Our lesson horses are exceptional and love working as a team with their riders. Located in the beautiful Malibu Mountains but still very accessible, right across from King Gillette Ranch we offer trail rides to experienced riders. Flexible schedule plans. Lessons are hour and 30 minutes and encompass horse care, grooming, tacking, and riding."
