Pony Express Riding School at 4777 South Mission Road, Fallbrook, California.

Very nice atmosphere and the horses are happy. The pens are spacious, and open so the horses can see the daily activities. The owner, Teri, has a successful show team that's always in the ribbons, and when the kids aren't showing, Teri is always thinking up fun things to do with the kids & horses like a trip to Fiesta Island to swim, holiday parades, overnight sleepovers at the barn. The riding arenas have extremely good drainage, which means less down time after a rain. It's a fun place to be, and the horses are comfortable and relaxed. I would/and have recommended it to many. :)

At first I thought this place was alright. Some people were nice, some people were stuck up and had inflated egos. Whatever...it's a show barn what do you expect; Everyone to be a decent human being? Righhhtttttt. What gives this place a 1 star is the hate and unprofessional atmosphere I observed. Not only does this place neglect the well being of its animals, direct hate and animosity towards selected people, I am pretty sure it is violating county or environmental laws by having a large pile of horse manure sitting right next to a running stream. I'm not aware of the zoning laws in the area, however the position and location of the pile warranted concern. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place unless you enjoy the high school drama atmosphere or want to see how you shouldn't run a buisness.
