The owners, Pam and David, have great pride of ownership of their property. The facility is very organized in the way it is laid out. The cross-ties, stalls, sheds, pastures, arenas and round-pens are laid-out so there is always space and it never seems crowded even on a busy weekend morning. The grounds are well maintained. Arenas and round-pens are dragged on a consistent basis. The best part of Heartland Equestrian Center is how incredibly friendly, supportive, and respectful the trainers and boarders are to each other. The horses are well-taken care of by the employees as they feed the horses at the same time for both feedings. The stalls are 24 X 24 with a sand footing. Because of the sand, there are not pee spots as I have experienced at an other ranch (I had to supplement with dry stall, wood pellets, and shavings) therefore it is less expensive boarding my horse here!

I dont even know where to start.. BUT I will say the staff that cleans and helps out on the ranch are amazing. There are some amazing women that I will call lifetime friends and they are the most helpful beautiful people I have ever met.BUT MOST IMPORTANT...the owner of the ranch is beyond description. We had a flu go through our ranch and horses were dying and we had staff that had covid and not one shred of information was sent out. I was told directly by one of the horses owners that her horse had Corona virus and when I asked the owner Pam if this was the case she still to this day will deny it. ..she doesn't allow shavings in your corral so when my horse got sick with that virus and developed laminitis because of it her solution was putting sand in my corral, that she provides for a very costly amount... I was feeding, supplying my own hay and doing everything for my horse when he got sick and she never even once offered to help or discount my board she DOESNT LIVE ON THE PROPERTY!!. She's very reactive, she's verbally abusive.. she got mad and yelled "listen blondie" thew her hand up and walked away over a sign on my tack door. She raised board by $50 during the pandemic...she doesn't quarantine new horses that come in and put a very sick horse right next to mine that had NO VACCINATIONS... and she has a proper place to do this with her mare motel that is private on the top of the grounds BUT DOESN'T!! when I asked her why she would put a sick horse next to my horse she said "he came from a local barn and not to worry" these are first hand problems I had specifically with the owner of this boarding facility myself. Do your research!! Go visit ... its the worst place I've ever boarded.

Absolutely love this place!!! My previous ranch changed ownership and it became clear that MONEY was the only thing they cared about. My horses were injured several times and NOT ONCE did they contact me to let me know! Other boarders were the ones who had to tell me. At heartland anytime they see an issue they promptly let me know. I am so relieved to know my horses are truly cared for here and watched over! Plus the facility is A thousand times better than my previous facility!

I have been boarding at Heartland for over 11 years, the best years of my horse ownership life. The facility is wonderful with arenas, round pens, turnout pastures, riding track, tack rooms - all very well maintained and upgraded constantly. The staff and trainers are professional, experienced, highly knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. If a situation arises, they always work to solve the problem with the best interest of horse and owner in mind. And the best part - the horses love it there and they thrive.

This is the best boarding facility in East County. Everything is kept in good repair. The horses are well fed. All riding areas - 2 riding arenas, 1 jumping arena, 1 dressage court, 1 sixty foot round pen, 1 one hundred foot round pen, and 1/2 mile track - are watered and drug 5 days a week. The corrals are cleaned well every day. There is a lovely meeting area under a huge, lighted gazebo in the center of the ranch. Private and semi private tack rooms are available and you can customize them to suit your needs. There is plenty of trailer parking. The fees are very reasonable for the quality of care the horses receive. The staff is very friendly, willing to help, and do their very best to care for the horses. The owners are very thoughtful people and offer all kinds of options to help you care for your horse in a way that you deem best. The boarders are friendly. It's a very happy place to keep your horse.

Met with Pam and Kelly today to discuss lessons for my daughter. They are both awesome and kind people. Looking forward to having my daughter learn all about horses from these smart ladies.
