After seeing so many positive reviews, I was excited to book a lesson with Ashley Duke. I had taken…read morea pause from riding and was really looking forward to getting back in the saddle. We reconfirmed our appointment earlier in the day, and I even asked which payment method she preferred, so I truly thought everything was set. However, when I arrived and finally found the front gate I waited and, no one was there. I called Ashley and no answer. I left a voicemail and sent a few texts, but never heard back. I honestly hoped it was just a misunderstanding or that something serious had come up, but after several days, I still received no response at all. I don't typically write reviews, but I took time out of my workday for this lesson only to be completely stood up without explanation. What's worse is that a friend of mine saw Ashley at the IEC in Ramona just days after this happened, so it clearly wasn't an emergency. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend her services. If you value your time and reliability, I'd suggest looking elsewhere

I had my lesson specifically with Sasha, she was great! Ashley was giving a lesson at the same time and everyone was interacting with each other, had a really great time. Some barns can be really difficult to feel comfortable in but it was great I loved it. I rode count and he was AH-MAZING! So so so fun!! I'll be going back for sure, already scheduled my next lesson. Also, very reasonably priced! Can't wait to become a regular and build lasting relationships with both the people and horses at the barn. Can't wait to get my 2.5 yr old daughter involved too!!

What a fun time!!…read more Coming from someone who rides horses daily, this was a wonderful experience! I took my friends here for a bachelorette weekend ride and it was perfect! One of them had never been on a horse before and Luke was so kind and willing to make her feel the most comfortable when riding! He explained to her how to safely ride and have a comfortable ride, at that. Not only was it fun learning about the Julian mines along the tour, the horses were very happy! I avoid doing these kind of things because typically the horses are ridden so often that they just become robots and you can tell they're unhappy. That was NOT the case with these ones. They get well-rested and have a lovely space in the shade to relax when they're not on trail. Each of our horses were also very well trained and rideable for even the most inexperienced person. All very sweet temperaments and happy to get their apple slices at the end. Overall, the ride was wonderful, our guide was so respectful and informative and we had a wonderful day riding through the countryside of Julian!

Whenever we travel, we try to do a trail ride. As more experienced horse people, we've found that…read moreit can be hard to find tourist trail rides that are for fun for people who already know how to ride. After a lot of research I picked Integrity Stables and I'm so glad I did! Horses are well loved and cared for, the ride was very private (just us and our guide), the scenes were beautiful, and our trail guide (I'm blanking on his name he was young--maybe it was Luke?) was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Would recommend to anyone (experienced horse person or not) and definitely plan on going back next time I'm in San Diego! While it is a little drive from San Diego (45 min - 1hr), the little town of Julian was the perfect place for us to stop afterwards for lunch before we made the drive back!

She paired each of them with a horse that was perfect match for their energy. They did a 1 hour ride and all came back with big smiles, thank you so much for the memorable experience Gabby! You can tell all the horses are well taken care of and that everyone there loves them very much! We will be back for sure!!!

I took some time to type this review as I would never want to negatively impact a company but…read morethought I owed it to the community to share our experience. We recently had a very disappointing and concerning experience with this horseback riding company. Unfortunately, the horses provided for our group did not appear to be properly trained or well-managed. Several of the horses were extremely difficult to control, and their behavior raised serious safety concerns from the start. During the ride, two horses became particularly unruly and ended up bucking, throwing two members of our group off onto the ground. This was a frightening and potentially dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious injury. While we understand that working with animals always carries some risk, this level of behavior suggests a lack of adequate training, supervision, or proper matching of horses to riders. After this negative experience the Owner refused to reimburse us. She offered us a credit to come back and take another ride with them. After this experience, the ladies are terrified to get on another horse. I would strongly encourage the company to review their safety protocols, horse training practices, and staff preparedness to ensure a safer experience for future guests. I leave you all with the horses are beautiful and you can tell they are well taken care but you should be a very experienced rider if you book with this company.

Apparently using a very dirty picnic table was an extra charge. The portal potties were completely unusable not cleaned in years. For this kind of money I would expect at least a clean table and toilet. But even then ridiculously overpriced! Interaction with the animals was nice but not worth the price.

Thank you so much Tanner and Hannah for helping us have a wonderful and successful horseback riding experience. We truly loved and enjoyed the entire time. From grooming/brushing, bonding with our particular horse, mindful moment, to the beautiful trail riding. It was very relaxing, relieving much unnecessary stress and brought in much needed peace. Raven was such a love. Fancy for our first time rider and Rebel, well let's just say, was great for my big ol' hubby. lol Full of beauty, peace and fun! Lovely owners, beautiful horses, and a stunning property to boot! Afterward, we went on over to The Watershed and met Sherry (such a sweetheart) and got to enjoy the best root beer EVER!!! Thanks again, DeAnne, Brian and Curtis

I had some bad experiences with trainers in Rancho Santafe and my disappointment led me to find Candy and her beautiful Arabian horse Suga. The drive out to Ramona is beautiful and driving from Del Sur, happily I don't have to get on any freeways. Candy is a very kind and sweet lady who teaches more then just riding, she gives you her positive insight along the way and offers her wisdom through her many years of riding and being around horses. The horse I'm training on is a dream, Suga is very responsive and has a gently trot which really helps me learn and practice my posting trot. She is a sweet, safe and a very gentle horse which is perfect for a beginner like myself. Suga is a beautiful grey Arabian, I adore her. Candy charges a very reasonable rate for her hourly training, and is wonderful to be around. I look forward to my weekly lessons with this dynamic duo! Candy and Suga thank you so much for helping my dream of riding horses come true!

Only about 35 - 40 minutes E of Oceanside, so not too bad. There are plenty of animals to see the 3 or 4 times that I have been there. Including ground squirrels, rabbits, snakes, cows, coyotes, birds of all kinds such as woodpeckers, meadow larks, hawks, vulture or condors, etc. Pretty much dirt, so if it rains, mud. During the spring bloom there are some pretty flowers. There is 1 trail that leads to a pond, with some ducks, etc. There may be people riding horses, make sure you yield to them, whether walking, walking your dog, riding a bike, etc. There is a porta-potty at the beginning of the trail in the parking lot. Make sure you lock the gate when you enter the trails.
