★★★★★Featured review by Norman Raimundo Bentson

I went here to receive introductory horse back training. I am planning a week long riding trek in the Andes, in Argentina. I have back issues and also wanted to try it out. The owner of San Pascual answered all my question very professionally, and then put me in contact with her trainer Mariana, who is from Brazil. It was a perfect fit. She proved to understand my needs, and my learning speed. Her training was technically excellent, she was patient, generous, and I noted that she had a nice balance between "heart and mind"- which seems essential to enjoy this sport! I strongly recommend this place, and Mariana as well as a trainer.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best fit for families with tweens or teens ready for structured English riding instruction rather than casual trail riding. Children who join develop real jumping skills and often integrate into peer groups with other young riders. Beginners are welcome, and the professional atmosphere builds competence steadily.

“My daughter has been taking lessons at San Pascual Stables since February of this year with Caroline. She has developed into a very skillful rider and is now part of a jumping group. There are lots of girls her age who ride here and the staff is so warm and supportive. We've had a wonderful experience and would recommend their horseback riding lessons, summer camp and birthday parties!”

“Walking by these stables everyday with my dog along the horse track is wonderful. Beautiful, well taken care of horses, horses that reaches over their fences to be petted. Very calm animals is usually a sign of a well run horse stable. Thank you for being there and teaching young teens to handle their horses with care.”
