    I absolutely love Nancy and everyone at Castle Rock Arabians. My daughter loved her week at camp…read morethrough spring break and it never would have happened if it weren't for Nancy. I have 3 kids, my oldest child was shot with a shotgun and blinded while participating in a junior pheasant hunt hosted by the state of California when he was 11 years old. This has made it very difficult for me to go back to work full time and even more difficult to pay for things like a week long horseback riding camp. When my 9 yr old daughter asked me if she could go to horse camp I heard $$$$$ and thought that it would never happen, but I took a chance and called Nancy and see what I could do. I didn't tell Nancy about my son or monetary hardship, but she could tell by my reaction when she told me the price that I couldn't really afford it. Nancy asked me if I knew anything about horses or office work and when I told her I used to be an office manager she asked me to work for her at the ranch a couple days a week in trade for my daughter to go to camp. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. Not only did my daughter get to go to camp but I got to go with her and was able to see how much fun she was having and she really was having the best time. She loved the girls that worked with her, as well as riding and grooming the horses. At the end of the day she would go on and on about all the fun things they did and how much she loved camp and all her new friends which I later found out were the apprentices. I believe that is what makes them different, the apprentices. Even though there are always 4 adult trainers running the camp the apprentices are the ones the kids seem to bond with the most. The young adults that work there are experienced riders who have been riding and training for years and know what they are doing. Nancy doesn't let just anyone that wants to work there work with the kids. They have to have a lot of experience and knowledge just to be considered for the apprenticeship program and eventually a proven ability to teach . They have to earn the right to participate in camp and teach lessons. They start at the bottom and work their way up to apprentice trainer. This means they had to clean stalls, feed and groom horses, and work on the ranch. As you can imagine I am a bit overprotective when it comes to my kids after what happened with my son and I can say I believe it was not only safe but a lot of fun for all the kids . I got the chance to know most of the apprentices and they are some of the most responsible young women and men that I have met in a very long time. There have been times that appointments have gotten mixed up or people have gotten mixed around but that happens everywhere and anytime a customer is unhappy with their experience Nancy personally addresses the issue and does her best to make them happy. I intend to continue working for Nancy in order for my daughter to continue enjoying the lessons and camp as much as possible and because I enjoy being there with Nancy and the Rebecka. I would not allow my daughter to go back if I thought it was not safe or if there were un qualified staff or instructors working with her. I highly recommend Castle Rock Arabians to everyone that will listen.

    My review has been a long time brewing, mostly because I thought, who is going to care what I think…read moreof my experience at Castle Rock? I signed my kids up for a week-long horse camp experience. Since it was the first time they'd be in a camp setting and with people I didn't know, I stuck around the first morning. I'm glad I did! It was blistering hot, and there was minimal shade. There were at least 40 kids ranging in age from 5 to 12. No adult was to be seen. No water available. No place to really sit down. The "leaders" were all between 14 and 17 - clearly they all knew each other and hung out in a cluster while the campers tried to figure themselves out. There were a couple of horseback rides around a ring. Then go sit down. Then the next group of kids got on and walked, then sat down. Sitting down meant sitting on a rock or dirt in the hot sun. After one hour, I took my kids and we left. Very disappointing, poorly organized, and for $600+ per student for 4 days ... a rip-off.

    Lisa DeVito is a wonderful horsewoman who has a beautiful facility with great care for the horses…read moreand people who board their horses or lease a horse. It's comfortable for horses and people. I've known Lisa for the past 25 years and you could not find a more generous and giving person. She really loves horses and is especially great with children and people who are learning how to care for a horse or pony. The property is lovely and Lisa makes it special. She's the best.

    This is a nice barn that is very conveniently situated in walnut creek close to treat and ygnacio…read moreboulevard. it has great trail access and has a nice almost all year round outside riding arena, also a nice sand round pen and a turnout pasture. It has one main barn and then pasture boarding (pasture is more like dirt enclosures for 2 or multiple horses) It is mainly a jumping barn that offers group and private lessons to young people. there are a few adults but is mainly for the younger school crowd as they have lessons. Think of this as the saddle club. 3 large german shephards are the staple of the barn as well as a beautiful duck pond. if you like to jump do hunters and trail ride this is the place for you. here is pricing info: Pricing is as followed: Stalls, 10'x12' $ 440.00 Stalls with attached paddocks 12'x50' $ 485.00 Pastures with shelter (groups of three horses) $ 380.00 Extra large stalls for broodmares in foal 10'x24' $ 550.00
