WHAT OUR RIDERS SAY ABOUT US

  • This is a great facility for those with an honest and positive attitude to enjoy the benefits of being with horses with those of a similar frame of mind. On site management and caring people ensure that your horse is well looked after even when you can't be there.

  • For the past 2 years I have had the pleasure of being apart of Santa Maria Valley Equestrian Center. My family and I came to Heather during a time in our lives where we were trying to heal our hearts. With Heathers guidance her horses showed us the love, patience and understanding my family needed. Fast forward to today, Sant Maria Valley Equestrian Center is apart of our everyday lives. With Heathers help we bought our first horse Willow. Her facility encompasses everything a horse owner needs as well as wants, friendly, clean, endlessness amenities for our horses but most importantly Heather is trusting and loving with all the animals and people at her facility. She truly enjoys teaching people about horses and watching them enjoy the equestrian lifestyle.

  • I first found Santa Maria Equestrian Center as a place for my two young daughters to develop their love for horseback riding with Miss Heather. Well, their love quickly developed into a family passion and now we have our first family horse boarded here. The sense of love, commitment and community for the horses and their families is beyond measure. As new horse owners we are blessed to learn from all the incredible people who dedicate their lives to these amazing horses!

  • I love Santa Maria Equestrian Center almost as much as I love the people who run it. This facility is one of the Cleanest, and welcoming facilities I've been to. Everyone is so helpful and uplifting. I loved that the boarder are more of a family who lean on each other for support. I love that our horses receive great care from genuine people who care for our babies.
