Patty is not upfront with her costs, neglects her horses, and needless to say unprofessional and lacks business experience. Very disappointed after 2.5 years building relationships and then to be treated so crude. My daughter is devastated and fails to understand why someone could be so cruel to a child that loves horses and being at a barn with her friends. I would never recommend this barn after learning how the owner mistreats her clients.

I've since moved to another state or would have loved to stay on there in some form, even as a volunteer. I am extremely pleased to see that Patty Morton's farm is online and doing well. I had such an incredibly positive experience training there, under Patty"s direction. It was actually a life changing experience for me and a memorable time in my life that I will cherish forever. I turn 50 this year and trained there when I was in my 20s for a semester. It left an impactful impression on me. I used to ride Gracie, and it made me so happy to see her mentioned on the website under featured rider. I can't say enough good things about Pathfinder Farm - great training, positive experience and life changing! I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone considering this experience. Wish there were higher marks than a five.

The name speaks for its self as it is beautiful and secluded up in the hills of sunny Bonsall. At the time I was a 19 year old college student who worked a full time job and an active world ranking competitor in mounted shooting (and still am). I worked my ass off to assure that my horses received nothing but top-of-the-line care. THE RATE IS 100% PERCENT WORTH IT!! (It comes with roughly 4 flakes of hay a day, fresh shavings 3 times a week, blanketing/fly sheets whenever asked, hot and cold water year round, secure tack rooms, and great footing in arenas.) I was absolutely astonished when I first pulled in with my horses as I never toured the property before arrival. The pictures on the website don't DARE do the beauty of the property justice. I stabled two multinational and world champion horses there and was 100% satisfied in their care and safety. The barns, arenas and pastures were upheld to the highest standard I had ever seen in the San Diego area. They have one massive sand arena and two smaller ones which are groomed every morning at 7-7:30 and a sand round pen which is groomed as needed (3-4 times a week). When it rains, which I think we can all agree trashes SoCal, the owners immediately turn their attention to draining and maintaining the foundation of the property. I can whole heartedly recommend this barn to everyone who truly cares for their horses well-being and safety. Attached are some of my favorite pictures taken around the ranch!

I had tried…read more2 other larger stables that felt very impersonal - In one, I was put into group classes with no individual attention or in the other, I was put on a horse that just goes through the motions so I wasn't learning any horsemanship. When I found Charlotte at Salty Horse Stables, I was ecstatic to get one-on-one lessons that really taught me how to ride at a safe pace. She takes the time to get to know every student and their needs, and never pushes anyone to do something that makes them uncomfortable. A year in, I started doing small jumps in the arena - something I never expected I could do (or even knew that I wanted to do!), and I'm so grateful for Charlottes professionalism along the way. She is incredibly encouraging even on my worst days and cheers me on when I have my great days. I've seen her with children too, offering trails rides to build their confidence (which is how I started as well) and I love how she makes horseback riding fun. I'd highly recommend Salty Horse Stables for anyone, no matter what your goal may be!

She was a fantastic trainer and very professional. The area is clean. There is plenty of parking available. It is a gated area. The horses are well taken care of; the staff is concerned with the horses' needs. Safety is enforced, and Covid measures are in place. The cost is slightly higher than what we are used to, but honestly, the service was so excellent I didn't mind paying the extra bucks. Overall I recommend this place to house your horse or to take lessons.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Z Equestrian in Costa Mesa! My 6-year-old daughter takes English riding lessons with Miss Emily, who is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and truly amazing with young riders. Both Miss Lexi and Miss Emily are wealths of knowledge and handle their students with such care. They don't just teach you how to sit on a horse; they focus on building strong foundations and fostering a genuine love for the animals. The communication is seamless, and the pricing is very fair. In a hobby that can get expensive quickly, we find this so much more fulfilling (and affordable!) than a Magic Key to Disneyland. My daughter is already dreaming of riding every single horse in the stable!
