    I contacted Cavallo Riding Center in April to host my daughter's Quinceañera. We needed a larger space with a rustic feel that also had a touch of elegance. The owner, Dave, walked us through the area where we would be hosting the party, which featured two stunning chandeliers and string lights throughout. There was plenty of parking, two bathrooms (one he built himself, right down to the toilet paper holder!), a bar, and tables and chairs included. I already thought this was a steal, but what Dave offered was even more valuable: a welcoming space for our family and friends to gather, celebrate, and enjoy this special occasion. I had arranged for our party decor to be delivered on Friday and picked up on Monday, but I hadn't communicated that to Dave. When I mentioned the plans during the week of the party, there was a conflict with the drop-off. Instead of letting me worry, he went out of his way to drive to the party warehouse to ensure everything went smoothly. On the morning of the event, Dave was already hard at work, having set up the tables and chairs for us. The barn was clean, prepared, and ready to go. We had a special surprise for our daughter's grand entrance that included a horse. Dave made sure it went off without a hitch by coordinating with the owners to guide them in through the back, ensuring no one would see them. Dave was helpful, reliable, and a true gentleman. Throughout the evening, whenever we forgot something or needed extras, he was right there to lend a hand--providing extra ice chests, a knife to cut limes, a pitcher for the Palomas, and extra forks for the cake, just to name a few. Dave truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out. It was a memorable event! Thank you for your help and support, Dave!

    My son has been coming to Cavallo horse riding for lessons for over a year now. The owner Dave is very nice and friendly. My son also has a wonderful experience with the horse instructor Heidi and looks forward to riding horses every single time. Heidi is very knowledgeable with her horses and all the horses are well behaved. I can tell that all the horses are taken care of here and very well loved. The facility is big and nice with lots of places to go for walks and ride with the horses. If you have more than one person riding, Heidi usually has an aide to help. Your kids will also be well protected and safe with helmets provided. This place is a real gem in Tracy! I highly recommend everyone to come here for lessons!

    We read reviews before going and decided to ignore them in lieu of having the experience for ourselves. It was a smart decision. We met with Heidi, the horse trainer, and had such a wonderful time. Although it was our first time it most certainly won't be our last. It wasn't a flashy area and I'm glad. They are located in the back of Tracy, farm country, and it reflects that in every way. The animals looked well maintained and the area clean. I'm glad my husband and I went for a couples lesson. Ella and TJ were gentle and constantly wanted to be by each other. That made for an extra nice experience. Thank you Heidi, Ella and TJ!

    I do not recommend Cavallo Riding Center - I have had a poor experience and I am happy that I left months ago as there are better things out there Pros - A large arena, round pens, and a covered arena A lot of trails Most people and families are very friendly Cons - Many of the horses are very skinny from being underfed at random times of the day Hay is cheap and looks like straw it is left out in the rain sometimes horses even get fed out in the mud During winter most stalls get extremely flooded as well as the arena and round pens - everyone is minimized down to one tiny covered arena arenas aren't watered or maintained and get very dusty Termites everywhere everything is falling apart Parties held on site and in arenas are not announced ahead of time - horse stalls in the main barn get blocked and you can't get your horse out Donkeys have feet that were so overgrown it is horrifying Rules are not enforced Kids gallop around the barns on horseback Kids are constantly yelling and screaming grain feeding is not offered squirrel holes all over pastures barn dogs kill animals their remains just sit there on the walk ways

    I keep my pony at this place. Bob and Valerie truly care about the horses. I tried to go to another…read moreplace to only be unhappy with them. So I came back. I love that you can do any type of riding and be accepted. I obviously can't ride my pony so I drive her instead. The big arena helps that I can get my pony to a extended trot.

    I am currently a boarder at Alpine Stables and have had no problems. It has proven to be a very…read morecommunity and family oriented barn for different horses, riders, and skill sets. Premium stalls include a large grassy turnout and enclosed stall, the next level is one of two sizes of enclosed stalls, the third of boarding is a 13 acre pasture which also has covered space. The owners, Valerie and Bob, are really great about making sure they meet all of their boarder's needs. To do so they also create a more "custom" housing. For owners of multiple horses they create larger pens or paddocks - with or without cover- based on the unique needs of the horses. Riding wise, you have a standard round pen, grassy area with obstacles, a large arena, and a smaller arena. A second covered round pen is available but is sometimes in use for the 7 day quarantine all new horses are subject to when moving into Alpine Stables. Trailer parking is free. There are tons of chairs and tables and grassy areas for families to hang out. Most weekends there are tons of families around relaxing and watching the riders. Again, very family oriented barn. The new barn manager, Rochelle is excellent has brought much attention to detail, new services, and horse experience to the place. Randy is equally as great with a "can-do" attitude and experience. I personally enjoy Alpine Stables because of the friendliness of the boarders. Everyone is constantly sharing and helping each other, just genuinely enjoying horses as they are meant to be enjoyed. Personally, I have always enjoyed boarding at my own home away from people but I find myself being excited to go to the barn and ride with the new friends I have made.
