After calling several local stables looking for a last minute birthday present for my neighbor, the only one that would make herself available and tackle such a could be risky task, was Joan of Sycamore stables who turned a senior woman's dream into a reality! This was an awesome 89th birthday present for Dolly, my neighbor just a few weeks ago, made possible by the expert trainers at Sycamore stables. Although Dollt was a experienced rider many years ago, it had been over 40 yrs since she mounted a horse and the only present she dreamed about! The one event that she wanted for her Birthday when I asked, and she was completely shocked when the Stables owner made it happen . It was handled so gently and professionally that Dolly was enabled in stepping right into the Arabian horses full Western saddle and rode it around for over 40 minutes. Dolly showed no fear or apprehension as she climbed into the saddle and telling me to "pull my leg over the horse" which I did and watched as Dolly sat snugly in her dream, so proud of herself! Thanks to Joan an expert in Horse training , who made this happen for us all. Joan was so careful , and gracious as she gently assisted Dolly into her gentle Arabian male horse who took to Dolly at first sight . Joan and her assistant made this dream and number on on Dollys bucket list a reality at an affordable price. Joan came in to her stables early Saturday morning just so Dolly could ride on her 89th Bday! We cannot say thank you enough to Joan and Sycamore Trails stables in San Juan Capistrano, for making this event happen and turn out to be such a happy moment for Dolly, who had tears in her eyes as she mounted the saddle. She has never stopped thanking her loving daughter Bella, and Me, for making it happen for a surprise bday present ! Thank you thank you...

Rate hike will include loss of your locker, communal locker will be used for tack and feed, must have a trainer or cannot stable here to name a few of the new exquisite amenities.

Trainers are already exiting or planned exit in January because of the hikes. This barn is about to be...

All animals have feeling and feel pain. I you continue to let this wiman train horses at you facility you are complicit. You have...
