El Kabayo Riding Stables — Attraction in Mabalacat

Outside area is free to visit. It has that Wild wild west feel. Good background. Restaurant in the area. Slight horse smell near the stable area.

Usually people stopover for the photo background appeal of this place. It's similar to the Tom Sawyer area vibes at Disneyland in California except that you can't play inside the ones that are here.

It can be very hot in Pampanga in the morning, so take your pictures quickly.

If you want to try the horses and their carriage, there's a separate fee for that upon entering the grounds. Customers who do ride usually spend an hour or so inside.

What a fantastic experience horseback riding with @elkabayocoffee @elkabayoclarkph at Clark, Pampanga. Thrilled to meet Jasmine, my horse for the day. With my guide Kuya JR, we rode through remnants of Kamikaze during Japanese occupation. Bunkers spread across fields of grass. @clarkairport_official spotted at a distance. Navigated through grass and crossed a stream. Even encountered cows and various birds. We were one with nature.

El Kabayo Horseback Riding is located at Gil Puyat Avenue, inside @clark_ph . Accessible through Clark Loop bus with its own bus stop at Texas Instruments.

El Kabayo is such a unique spot—definitely not your usual tapsilog place! Their tapsilog is really good: flavorful tapa, perfectly cooked egg, and garlic rice that hits the spot. What makes it even more special is the setting. They’ve got live horses on-site, which kids will absolutely love! It’s like a mini field trip and meal in one.

Just a heads-up: you will catch a whiff of horse pee while eating, especially if you’re seated near the stables. But honestly, the food and the experience make up for it. If you’re down for something a little different (and delicious), give...
