Pony Land: Pony Rides & Petting Zoo, San Diego CA

Such a wonderful experience. Jules is an amazing guide. We had great conversation and my daughter loved her first time horseback riding. We can't wait to go again.

Not accommodating not family friendly and definitely does not care about children. Way to cancel a pony ride and not offer any other options for a child who was promised a special experience, sucks that you have to sit there and do your job. Very dissatisfied.employees and volunteers need equality and equity training.

The taste of absolute unity with nature can be felt in communication with noble animals away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. And you will want to come back here again and again.

Great spot! Hanna was pretty awesome and super knowledgeable about the horses and the land. The animals was so adorable and like to nipple on your loose clothing. We went there and they barely had availability, but still managed to squeeze us in. I'd definitely go back!

We had such a fun ride! Rahim was our guide, he was superrrrr great! He made us all feel really comfortable (we are all beginners). The trail itself was really pretty and we even went on the beach. I was riding Preacher and he was such a good boy, had so much fun. Thanks for the great time Rahim and Pony Land! I would HIGHLY recommend this place and will def be back back! The horses, our guide and the landscapes were fantastic! And reasonably priced!

Great experience. The kids loved riding the pony. We will be back to visit the putting zoo another time.

This was my grandson's first pony ride so it will always be special to me. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The petting zoo is on the sad side. It is mostly goats but there are some sheep for petting. There are a few other animals to see like pigs, some ostrich, even a camel. Admission of $40 to petting zoo is extremely high for what it was. It must be viewed as help to support their eclectic group of critters.

Booked a sunset ride for my wife and I to enjoy on our anniversary vacation. Delaney was such a pleasure to ride with and took great care to make sure we were both comfortable and safe from beginning to end of the guided tour. We cannot recommend Pony Land's Sunset ride more. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset riding along the southern border to the ocean. After a nice walk down the beach, Delaney snapped some photos for us and took the walk home. We were lucky to have the ride to ourselves and was so much fun. Thank you to Delaney and the team at Pony Land, it was a memory for a lifetime.

I had such a great afternoon doing the beach ride with Morgan! Beautiful landscape from desert to beach, a view of Tijuana, with plenty of wildlife on the way!

My horse was great for my intermediate skill level - comfortable, responsive, with that slight amount of "I've got to make sure you don't try and snack" to keep me engaged with my horse and get us doing some work together.

Special props to my guide, Morgan. I thought going alone on a 2.5 hour tour would be awkward, but it was great! He knew a bit about a lot of the horses on the property, eagerly pointed out local plant and wildlife, and had plenty to talk about in so many aspects of horsemanship. Plus, shout out for the photos!

Definitely coming back the next time I'm in San Diego.

I had the opportunity to experience the tijuana river valley 1 hr trail with my mom and we were accompanied with Hanna.she is a very kind and patient guide and kept us engaged and involved! My mom was a first time rider and she enjoyed every single second of it (even if her horse would sneak a bite of the nearby bush lol). Overall 10/10 and SO worth the money!

Unforgettable, peaceful ride with incredible horses. This isn’t trotting/galloping or anything of the sort, it’s a lovely scenic ride which if you go in the spring is through fields of wildflowers. We rode Cash and Jax and they were fun, silly and sneaky horses (trying to snag flower snacks along the way) and our guide Danny (Danielle/Daniella?) was AMAZING. Knowledgeable and sweet.

Jules our tour guide was very personable and relaxed making the ride to the beach for the sunset tour so enjoyable.

She chatted with us, we learned about the preserve and new campground.
Highlights on the beach were the sand dollars she jumped off to pick up for us and take our pucture.

Highly recommend for locals and visitors.

Feeling generous giving them two stars. Two pricey and not 100%worth it. 196 for the two hours ride. Guide was in her phone all the time and I was bored to death. It should be 60$ maximum for what's worth.

I had the best trail ride this morning! My guide was Jules and she talked about the various things we saw along the way, like sugar cane and roadrunners.
My horse was Fiona and although she liked to stop and eat I would ride her again. It was a really peaceful morning. All the stars!

Levi, Preacher and Jules (our guide) were the best crew for our beach ride. Jules was super knowledgeable about the horses, and the natural landscape surrounding us. This was a fantastic experience—thank you ponyland!

Had such a beautiful and amazing time! Definitely a day my mom and I will never forget! The stables and all the horses were well kept and the horses seemed happy and well taken care of; and our guide, Austin, was the best! And so was White Lightening, Pearl, and Opal; they were the biggest sweethearts ever and were so well behaved on our ride to the beach! I saw an old review on Pearl misbehaving, but she was so well behaved and there were no issues with our horses or guide whatsoever. The private tour made us feel so special with just us 3 and the horses. Definitely worth it!

We had the best experience with Hannah White! She was the absolute best guide ever! We enjoyed our ride so much, when we come back to San Diego we'll differently come back.thank you Hannah you Rock! Love from Kimmy & Bklyn

For me, since I've ridden so many years, it's about the personality of the guide. But they did give me a much nicer horse this time.

Our guide Lauren was awesome! 10/10 recommend her for your ride! The horses were super sweet. We did the beach ride for our wedding night and it was the perfect way to end our day! Thanks Lauren!
