1 / 2Shadow Hills Equestrian Center
đ Shadow Hills, CA
Full-service equestrian center in Shadow Hills, Los Angeles offering horse boarding, riding lessons, and trail rides. Experienced trainers Johnny Higginson and Lisa Thorpe lead instruction in a clean, caring ranch environment.
Magical ranch. Feels like a familiar place. The owner is a beautiful human being that can teach you a thing or two about love and care not only for animals but for yourself.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking ongoing riding instruction for children or teenagers in a caring, well-run environment. The trainers build relationships with students over time, making this more suited to regular lessons than one-off visits. The welcoming, non-intimidating atmosphere is particularly good for children new to horses.

âI don't ride horses, nor do I play horse rider on TV, but if I did. I can see why people want to live here in tiny houses! Too cool.â
