Rick Love Stables

Last December I began taking riding lessons with Melanie Love with Rick Love Stables at Rancho Palmira. Melanie is a great teacher and really helped me get back into the saddle after about 25 years of only doing the occasional trail ride. I was brought up riding Western and the change to English has been really exciting. Mel is incredibly encouraging and helpful for students of all ages. I recently purchased a two year old half Arab filly with Rick and Mel’s help. Mel is training her and I love the care she takes in bringing the horse up slowly and carefully. Mel and Rick helped me find a great horse. They are very honest and trustworthy in everything they do so I felt very comfortable and well taken care of with this HUGE purchase. The combined experience of Rick nnd Melanie Love ensures that any horse owner will have only the best care and training for their horse. The farm is a fun place to spend time and absolutely beautiful. The facilities are nice with covered riding and preview arenas, two round rings, a pool for the horses and very nice stables with lots of fans and misters to keep the horses cool in the summer heat. I highly recommend the Love’s for anyone interested in horse training, acquisition, showing, and lessons.
