Calero Ranch Stables

I have ridden at calero for 7 years and I have ridden Lad,Remy,Clubs,and Jorge on the trail and in the arena. I have walked, troted, and cantered all of them, I have ridden Lad over 50 times and I have learned to jump with him. I have NEVER had any problem with any of these amazing horses. Lad and I have become best friends to the point where he recognizes my voice and comes when I call him. I plan to take him to a show later this month., If you are unable to stay on any Calero horse, you are obviously a terrible and inexperienced rider and the horse obviously didn't like you. Please do not make assumptions about horses you don't know. Lad is the most caring and responsible horse I have ever met. I would trust Lad with my life.

Calero is a very good barn but has it difficulties just like every other barn. So if you have a bad experience there kinda like i did just get up and start over. The view is great there and there were many animals around and everything. The instructors are good and Calero has plenty of arenas. So just enjoy every minute of it cause life is to short not to.

I used to work at Calero. I taught lessons, worked summer camp, and lead trail rides. I also boarded my horse there for two years. I no longer have any affiliation with them (I have no reason to lie to you). The summers that I worked at Calero were the best of my life. They take EXCELENT care of their horses, and they spend hours, making sure that the horses that kids and adults ride are safe and sound. I've personally spent hours/days/weeks working with different horses to make sure that they could handle any situation in summer camp (screaming, yelling, hair pulling, yanking on the rains, kicking, leaning off the side of the saddle, ear pulling, etc.) and I am sure that Pat (the Summer Camp Director) still has her employees thoroughly test/train all new horses. The employees all have a passion for horses, and often take the Calero horses out for rides, just because they think it is fun (even though most of them have their own horses!). This being said: I have to defend Calero... Read more

My 6-year-old went to camp here last summer. The owners were nice but the camp is a little much for someone so young. The camp runs 9-3 (a...

When we were close to the corral on the way back from the trail ride, my horse went up in the front at a trot. All of a sudden, my best friend's horse started to go into a wild gallop. So did mine. The guide was telling us to pull back on the reins (which we did). My horse came to a sudden stop and I went over the horse. I'm 9 years old, and don't weigh much, and fell hard on the ground on my left side. The guides' horses weren't even fast enough to stop the horses from galloping off. It was ONLY the children's horses that took off wildly. Long story short, much pain, lots of gore, scared my mom to death, and spent the afternoon at the ER. Miraculously, no broken bones, although my nose was swollen 3x normal size, and the bone bruise on my left hip made it difficult to walk. My lip was split open and had to be stitched. I looked like the bride of Frankenstein for about 2 weeks, but was lucky. I'm afraid that the next child may not be so lucky. Please be careful when bringing your ... Read more
