South Coast Equestrian

I started riding at 6 years old at there first ever location. I love Jessica and Lacey. However once they started moving locations more often the whole atmosphere changed. Before it was like a family, they would even hire families to help teach classes. I remember there was a son and mom who would both teach me when Lacey and Jessica where busy. That was the best. But then it seemed like they started prioritizing the kids who’s parents would just spend the most money on shows, tack trunks, or other things that honestly you don’t NEED to enjoy riding. It got to the point these girls would bully me just because my mom wasn’t able to afford the cost of paying $800 every time to enter me into shows. Like I’m sorry I didn’t come from a silver spoon house hold. But that doesn’t mean you should let other clients bully ones who where loyal from the start. Even the other mothers where super catty and rude. Had to put my happiness first. Overall it Became less about the horses and more about who would spend the most.

So I haven't ridden a horse in years and I decided to take my kids for a trail ride. Luckily for me I found South Coast! And really it was very fortunate as there does not seem to be any other trail riding facilities in San Diego. The place was great. Plenty of parking and it was extremely easy access right off of the 56, close to both the 5 and the 15. What a great time we had! Lacy and Jessica were both awesome. They asked us about any previous experience so that they could match the horse with the riders. It was a great ride. The property borders up on the Grand Del Mar Resort and we were able to ride around their golf course! Not on the golf course, just around it, but it was still beautiful. .Jessica kept the kids entertained throughout the entire ride. They had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. We all had an awesome time. We will definitely be back!

South Coast Equestrian are true professionals! Not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but also incredibly friendly and welcoming. 🙂

South Coast Equestrian is in a great location with great horses and wonderful people. The trainers are caring and teach the best lessons. I always have fun at SCE, and I feel so lucky to have found this friendly environment.

Thanks to Lacy, Maddie, & Sam for an extraordinary "horse camp" experience. Our grand daughter learned so much about horse care and riding at South Coast Equestrian ... a pivotal moment in her life!

Highly recommended as a family activity when you are staying at the nearby Fairmount Resort. Horse trail riding for 8+ year-olds, super kid friendly, with courteous and knowledgeable staff.

Had an anazing birthday here and definitely coming back for lessons
