Surfside Ranch

Para aquellos que les gusta montar hay renta de caballo con montura nomás traigas el sombrero

We had a great time on our beach ride, everything I expected and more. The instructor is very nice and she’s so funny! She runs a great, clean business. And we never felt crunched for time or rushed on our ride, which made it even more great. The horses are beautiful, well behaved and very healthy. I enjoyed riding on Toxica. Beautiful beach view. And also got very close to the border! Giving veggies to the animals in the petting zoo was fun too!

I recently came across Surfside Ranch by chance, and hands down had the best experience. The staff was friendly, hardworking and so knowledgeable about their craft. The horses were strong, healthy and the ranch was so refreshing. Highly recommend to come out for a ride at Surfside, and don’t forget some carrots for treats!

I was looking for a boarding home for my horses as I was getting ready to go on the road. I came across Surfside Ranch upon speaking with Betty, who is the owner there. She guaranteed me that my horses would be well cared for in my absence. Without hesitation, I moved my horses there on January 23, 2023. We were in a verbal agreement that I was to pay $700 a month for both horse. I went on the road, thinking that I had left my horses in good hands at a professional boarding home for horses but later came into realization that it was a lie. Since I was on the road, I would send her payments via Zelle each month and inquire about the horses if they were being fed and well taken care of like I was told. After being on the road for two months, I came back home and visited the horses. That’s when I first noticed that they might be underfed, but of course I spoke with Eileen, who takes care of the horses and feeds them that would be Betty’s daughter. She reassured me that everything is fine the horses are fed they are taken care of. There is nothing to worry about. After speaking with her, I was able to relax and I went back on the road, and once again came home after two months only this time to find out that my suspicions the first round was right. I should’ve just followed my first instance, and removed my horses to a better professional boarding home. After paying $700 a month for six month only to find out that my horses were starved is very misfortune. Of course I did find a new place for them and move them out ASAP. For anyone out there that is looking for a professional boarding horse home, I would strongly suggest that you do not go to Surfside Ranch, they are not professionals, they are liars, manipulators and abuse the horses there. Mine is not the only ones that have their rip showing through their bodies. They are more horses there that are being starved I will upload pictures of how my horse looks like and you the reader can be the judge of this place see it for yourself.

Eileen was a very knowledgeable and gracious host. She knew about the environment and the horses and had just the right amount of humor. The ride to the beach was a little long but it was to ride on the beach. Definitely worth it. I would do it again!

What an amazing experience! The guide/owner was absolutely fantastic in every way, the horses were well taken care of and chosen to the rider's ability, and the ride itself was amazing. I will definitely go back!

My daughter and I took the 1.5 hr guided ride through the nature preserve adjacent to the ranch. It was a great ride, beautiful scenery and very interesting to ride along the border and see Tijuana, Mexico just over the hill. Ilene was super friendly during the ride and made my little one feel comfortable and have fun the whole time. The horses were very docile and easy to ride. The only thing I would have expected is for the signs to the ranch entrance be more obvious and to have been greeted a bit more warmly. When we arrived it would have been helpful for Ilene , the owner, to introduce herself as such and ask us our names to make us feel welcome. We made ourselves at home anyway and just kinda waited around for her, not knowing it would be her, to tell us to sign in and get helmets. There were lots of cute farm animals to see and pet while we waited. I would definitely come back and recommend friends to come here for a lovely not at all pretentious horseback experience.

We had Cynthia guiding us and it was awesome! We did the 1.5hr tour and the fields were beautiful. She would always stop and make sure that we were doing ok and she was extremely sweet! Everyone was super sweet. We also learned that some of the horses are rescues from slaughter houses and I love that they do that. They come in sick or malnourished and they help these horses to the best of their ability. We would definitely come back again and would definitely recommend it! 10/10

Our girls (11 and 7) had a blast! Our guide was extremely friendly and great with the horses and kids. There's even a petting zoo!
