Rose Bowl Riders

While the horse care at RBR is excellent for boarders there and there are several lovely people using the property, the adversarial relationship between the contractor on site and boarders makes it a very unpleasant place to be for people like me who just want to enjoy our horses. If you can keep your head down and stay out of human drama, this is a good place to board, but I have never observed so much leadership chaos in a non-profit. This property should be publicly accessible to local equestrians since it is owned by the City. Instead it is managed by a board that picks and chooses people based on their likelihood of complying with what are in my opinion unacceptable business practices for a member based non-profit. In addition, several reviews here are for Myrtle Hill Farms and not RBR which is a separate entity.

We love Rose Bowl Riders. This is the only weekly activity my daughter does not want to miss. She has enjoyed all of her lessons and learns about horsemanship as well as riding technique. It is the perfect place for her. I would highly recommend Katie if you are looking for lessons for your child.

KT and greg are my favorite trainers of all time. They are the people that taught me pretty much everything I know about horses. They have horses and lessons suitable for riders of all ages, height, and experience. KT is fantastic with little kids, and greg’s great with the older kids. Together they are the best team you’ll find.

My daughter came home in tears after her horrible experience at Rose Bowl Riders. My husband said that she was on a horse that wouldnt move, she was left alone in the arena for twenty minutes while the helper left and the instructor taught someone else. She doesnt cry easily but said that she felt awful and neglected the entire time. They have you sign a million forms repeatedly and are paranoid about getting sued. There is something very wrong at this place and we regret having any contact with the unhappy and laissez faire people working at Rose Bowl.

KT is the BEST horse trainer I’ve ever had the experience of riding with! She cares and loves each and every one of her students with the greatest passion and care! I would have encourage everybody who goes here to look into lessons with her, specifically!

Took several lessons here.... In a group lesson, the instructor put me on a green horse that was completely INAPPROPRIATE for my riding level. We were riding outside in the large ring, the horse suddenly took off galloping with no warning, and I fell off and fractured my arm. Unfortunately, because I didn't have health insurance at the time, I had to pay over $600 for orthopedic care. It was a terrible experience. Please do not ride here. It's an unsafe stable.

Love how well the horses are cared for here and the grounds too
