El Camino Ranch - Redlands, California

Sally Sparks

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.

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.

If I could give 0 stars I would.
I paid $215 for lessons back in February.

After patiently waiting after one of instructors claimed to have had an accident I reached out to the school and they didn’t have any space until the following month. Which wasn’t established when I signed up my kids and she told me the trainer needed a week, she didn’t reach out to me I HAD to follow up. So I requested a refund. (In March)

We are in June and I never got my refund.
I paid via Zelle but she REFUSED to Pay me back via Zelle. Said it needed to be a check. I drove multiple times and called several times. I even msg her and call her while at the ranch.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!

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!

My 11year old daughter has been taking lessons here with Emlyn for about 2 months. The facility is amazing, everyone is so kind and knowledgeable. Emlyn is an excellent trainer, she’s very knowledgeable about horses, and is patient with the kids. She has excellent communication about appointments, and changes if needed. I am so glad we found this place ?

El Camino Ranch is hands down the best facility I've boarded my horses at. The facility is very clean and the staff is wonderful, more like family! They are very welcoming and informative and make you feel at ease while away. El Camino Ranch staff treats all horses like their own, making sure they are properly fed and kept to a routine and schedule. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality ranch 🙂

I Cannot thank everyone at El Camino ranch for being so welcoming. We are new to the area and were on a search for a ranch that was fitting for my daughter and are a family, when we stumbled upon El Camino ranch which happen to be to say few minutes up from our home (which was helpful obviously lol). The owner accommodated us immediately by giving us a tour and was so sweet to both of my children. My daughter after touring and searching many ranch's fell in love with this place. She is the main rider however my son has also rode here and our trainer is a complete doll to both of them which is heartwarming for me because of our experience at the last ranch my daughter road at, where there was little patience for my son.. whom I bring to the lessons. This place is clean, wellkept, happy horses, flexible with schedules and just an all around great place to be. We all feel very at home here. In just a few short weeks my daughter has completely excelled in her skills and knowledge and her confidence has boosted tremendously. Lisa is an amazing trainer, the owner is sweet as pie.. and the guys even let my little guy help out around there... making him feel like a little cowboy. I highly recommend this ranch.

Professional and Pleasant - I came in for Riding Lessons after having been out of the saddle for a long time, and I found the place to be Professionally run, clean, of adequate size for what I'd expect and with 2 decent trainers in Christina and Brittany. They have several options for boarding, provide expert advice and have a office. This is a better than average place for what I've seen so far, I'm signing on board for regular lessons and will be calling this my home ranch. It's close to my home, the airport, and amenities yet still rural enough to make one feel as if you're "getting away from it all"... Don't take my word for it, come check it out!
