About the Ranch
We started this ranch because horses deserve people who actually listen.
Welcome to Rancho de los Cielos. We're a family-owned equestrian facility in Riverside, built on a genuine respect for horses and the people who love them. Over the years, we've grown into a dedicated breeder of healthy, well-trained horses with strong bloodlines and exceptional temperament.
We also know that finding a trustworthy place to board your horse can be frustrating. That's why we designed our facility to be a place where owners feel completely at ease — open communication, transparent pricing, and the highest standard of daily care.
— Boarding · Riverside, CA · Since 2000
A quiet haven at the back of the canyon.
Full-service, all-breed boarding on 20 acres opening to 300 acres of Lake Mathews trail. We specialize in the very young and the very old — and we're the only place we know of that includes hoof trimming every 8 weeks in every contract.

Trust is earned one horse at a time.

We bought our mare from Theresa and she has the calmest, most willing temperament — exactly as promised. You can tell these horses are loved from day one.

After three boarding facilities that ghosted us, finding Rancho de los Cielos was a relief. Clear updates, clean stalls, our gelding has never been happier.

My daughter took her first lessons here and now she rides every weekend. Patient instructors, beautiful horses, the kindest people in Riverside.
