Horseback Riding in Del Mar, California (San Diego County)

Learn how to ride horses TODAY the fun way! I specialize in taking the youth and amateur riders of all ages and levels and making every experience full of knowledge and fun. I teach western, hunter under saddle, horsemanship, trail, showmanship, and trail rides are available. Lesson horses are available to you if you do not have a horse. If you have a horse there is a great training program to fit the needs of you and your horse. I also go to many local horse shows throughout the year to have even more fun. With over 16 years of showing and riding horses I have a lot to offer each student. Great package deals are available as well as gift certificates. Feel free to call or text to get more information, if you reach the voicemail box please leave a message. You can also find out where we are and what fun activities are coming up by going to Facebook and typing in Kelly Saldivar Performance Horses. I am located off of Euclid and Lakeview Dr. All riders must wear long pants and boots.... See More

Riding Academy
The program which sets El Camino Ranch above and beyond other ranches is our finely tuned RIDING ACADEMY. We began giving lessons occasionally back in 1989. Since that time we have added a team of instructors, and a team of lesson horses, a curriculum of instruction, a schedule book full of lessons, birthday parties, Girl Scout activities, and other educational projects, along with many dedicated parents and individuals who make the weekly trek to El Camino. These are the back bone of this progressive program. We teach students, from age 5 years and up to tack up a horse, to mount a horse, to balance on the back of the horse, and to walk, trot, and canter/lope. As the student advances they may learn to ride a Saddle Seat horse, or to drive a pony in a cart. A few more advanced students learn to jump a horse over cross rails, and perhaps up to three feet. Anything we can do SAFELY, we will do. Our tiniest students, ages 3 and up, learn to groom a horse with our three Miniature Horses. Our lesson horses have all been professionally trained.  Several have been successful Show Horses, and most all are 8 years old or older, and have calm, quiet dispositions, so that they are safe for children or new adult riders.  They are Arabians, Half Arabians, and a few are other breeds.  They will all challenge you to excel to any level you wish to achieve.  These very special mares and geldings are the jewels of the ranch, and are loved by every student who has ever ridden in the Riding Academy Program, or observed these dedicated horses. El Camino Ranch has been a dream come true for many girls, and women.  We also have helped young boys, and adult men become athletes on horseback.  We are a drug free, violence free environment, where you and your children can find a new recreation, new friends, and develop a life long passion for horses....
