Located at the corner of Highway 67 and Willow Road.

My daughters & I love this place!! We have been to other facilities and there was always something negative going on. Not at El Capitan, the staff, trainer and boarders are all so very nice to us. A great place to bring your kids, and not for just riding horses. I have seen birthday parties & Girl Scout troups having a great time there.

My daughter takes lessons with Darcy and thinks she's wonderful. Very encouraging and easy to work with. Full hour ride time if you're early, which is a change from Michigan where I used to ride...

I've been going to ECEC for over 2 years and recently have noticed wonderful changes with management. The place looks well groomed and the staff is knowledgeable and approachable. My daughter has been training with Darcy and adores her. She is flexible with my crazy kid schedules! I know there has been trainer turnover, but all you need to do is tell them you want a refund if you do--- I wouldn't leave :) THUMBS UP LADIES!!!!

Jasper's my fav

We purchased a package of lessons, there was a turnover in trainers and the package was not honored, we left with several lessons still owed to us, very poorly run facility. Trainer was unwilling to work with us. Outdoor stall conditions are poor and arena does not drain properly.

This is four acres of fantastic family togetherness. the arenas are well groomed and there are at least 3 trainers on site. it is a great place for birthday parties. the horses are well cared for.

No staff available! I have called and stopped by several times and no one is available. Horse trainers are incompetent and uncooperative. "DANGEROUS FACILITY KEEP AWAY!"

don't bother with this place

My daughter is 5 years old and has been taking lessons at El Capitan Equestrian Center for 6 months from Darcy Edwards; she is a great instructor with lots of patience. The facility is very nice and the staff is very friendly. My son, who is 3 has a great time feeding the horses and chasing the chickens while I watch my daughters lesson. The environment is very safe and kid friendly, we look forward to going twice a week. My kids like it so much I am in the process of booking their birthday party there.
