Tucson Equestrian Center Reviews

While vacationing in Tucson, my teenage daughter was able to ride at the equestrian center. The experience was safe, well-priced, the horses were well tended, and she had a wonderful time riding with Laura. It was the highlight of the vacation. I would recommended the Tucson Equestrian Center to riders of all abilities.

Nice place to take some tourists for an authentic horseback ride in the desert. Bring your wallet. You'll get your money's worth!

Linda Colica has created an amazing place with Tucson Equestrian Center. Not only can you board your horse there and know they will be safe and well cared for, you can enjoy riding your horse on the abundance of land and obstacles available, or take lessons on their horse. Another bonus is the availability of the AquaStride pool if your horse is in need of conditioning or rehabilitation. This place is very well maintained, very clean and always friendly.

My daughter began lessons with Laura 3 yrs ago. She has been educated in safely handling horses and has learned to ride a multitude of horses. She loves every minute of it, and I love the fact that I never have to worry that she is put at risk by an inattentive trainer. Laura guides and instructs her during every lesson.

I highly recommend Tucson Equestrian Center to all my friends and family!!

I have been a boarder for over ten years at Tucson Equestrian Center. And I've boarded at at least six other stables in my lifetime, as well as as a visitor at others, so have a good basis for comparison. TEC is by far the best stable I have ever seen. They go far beyond regular cleaning of stalls, watering devices, and feed bins. Most important to me is the knowledge and helpfulness of the owner and the trainer who works there. Not only are they available for questions, but they keep a close eye on my horse and let me know immediately if anything seems amiss. Their years of experience is invaluable as they are very helpful in answering questions about my horse's behavior, what sort of treatment they have seen effective in the past, and just anything that comes up. I recommend TEC HIGHLY!!! Judy F

Very knowledgeable owner and staff. Wonderful facility!

Expert horse behavior knowledge imparted in lessons that enable successes with riding tasks!

I love heading out to ride knowing my horse has been well cared for and will be waiting for me in tip top shape. This is a professionally run facility in a beautiful quiet setting with desert trails. Great fun!

I have had great experience with Tucson Equestrian Center. I brought my young horse to be started under saddle, and I was kept in the loop throughout her progress, and when she came home, I did not feel the least concern about her training. The facilities are immaculate, and staff very open and caring. I go back periodically for refreshers with my horse, and really enjoy the beautiful setting!

The owner, Linda, has been amazing! My husband and I moved to Tucson from California. Linda not only provided space for my 4 horses but she also allowed us to park our RV on her property while our house is being built. The property is neat and clean, with lots of space to ride, including federal land that goes on forever! She has been extremely generous with her time and is very knowledgeable regarding horse care and training. I can't say enough good things about Linda-we feel so lucky to have found her! Great place to bring your horse!

This is a great facility for boarding and lessons. It is clean, well maintained, and I know my horse is safe and well cared for. The feed they give my horse is top quality and my horse is in excellent condition. Lessons from Laura are well-communicated and safety is high priority. Linda is always there and so willing to give help when it is needed. I am so happy I discovered this facility.

Linda Colica, Laura Sisco and the staff at Tucson Equestrian Center are the best in matching the right horse with rider. We are in Savannah, Georgia and we could have gone anywhere in the US, but after so many bad experiences, we finally found the best facility to locate the right horse. We have acquired two horses from Tucson Equestrian Center and shipped them both back to Savannah. We continue to travel back and forth, just to continue the journey of learning information on real horsemanship. They are so knowledgable and we have learned so much. Thank you Linda Colica for opening the door to many more years of safe riding with two fantastic equine partners. It is with the highest respect that both my husband and I recommend the Tucson Equestrian Center to potential horse buyers - don't let distance dissuade you. Save yourself time, open your mind and listen to Linda, for she will find you a true equine partner.

I have been a client of Tucson Equestrian Center consistently for about three years. Linda Colica and her support staff run a professional facility. It's been a pleasure to compete at events, attend clinics and take horsemanship lessons at TEC.

Beautiful facility, quiet, and always very clean. I have boarded horses here since 2016 while I was in college, since graduating I will stop here to stay between rodeos. Linda and Laura are always very helpful, they truly care about you and your horses!

Great place to ride. The staff is cheerful and professional. The facilities are top notch.

As it is time to go back to Washington I would to thank Linda Colica for another fantastic winter my wife and I have been spending the winter with Linda at her Tucson equestrian center for the last ten years and based on years of experience I have never found a better facility !! She runs a very tight meticulous facility with all bases covered care of horses safety for clients etc, etc, she leaves no room for error!!! This is for sure a five star adventure with the finest horse lady we know !! Thank you again Linda for having us as part of your winter family as that is how you make us feel especially the way you care for us and our horses we never worry when they are in your care at your beautiful facility!!!

I just had my horse at the Tucson Equestrian Center and couldn't have a better experience. I enjoyed Linda and Laura and they were very anxious to please and help me. My horse was there for Aqua therapy and not only did he love the treatment but came home sound. He was very well taken care of and I am grateful to Linda and Laura for how they worked with him. The facility is spotless and very well maintained. I couldn't be more satisfied for all they did.

My daughter has been taking lessons for three years. The best center around - clean, safe and all of the people are amazing. Honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend.

The Cleanest and Best run facility I have ever worked or been too.

My daughter has been taking lessons at Tucson Equestrian Center for almost seven years now and we look forward to many more. Not only is the facility top notch, but the training by the instructors is unmatched. Thank you for providing a safe, enjoyable, and friendly environment for riders.

My horse had a staycation at the Tucson Equestrian Center while I was on vacation for 16 days. I couldn t be more please with the care and training he received. Linda and Laura are knowledgeable horse professionals who treat every horse with care and compassion. The facility is immaculately maintained with a variety of training amenities: round pens, arenas, multiple trail obstacles and aqua therapy. Laura s training expertise was clearly evident in the progress she made with my horse. If you are looking for a high degree of professionalism, experienced trainers, and a caring staff this is the place to come.

A wonderful place! The owner has set and maintained high standards for the center and the horses in her care. Very professional.

I have been taking lessons at Tucson Equestrian Center for the last year as well as having my horse receive direct training. It changed my life. I was ready to give up riding since I felt afraid if my horse tried to do anything frisky. My horse and I received excellent training and I was given support and skills to deal with my fear. I now ride daily and have gained so much confidence. My horse and I are partners now and we trail ride and compete in competitive trail horse events. When I leave town my horse is boarded at TEC because I know she will receive the best care available. Whether you are looking for a tune-up, starting from scratch or need training or rehab for your horse, TEC is the place to go.

There are two key impressions you get at Tucson Equestrian Center: professional and personable. The facility is top notch, clean, spacious and secluded. Its immediately apparent that they take pride in keeping a safe and organized facility. The staff is courteous and polite with years of experience. Linda, the owner, is genuinely honest and keeps your well being a high priority. If you're looking for a great experience with some authentic folks, this is the place for you!

Recently attended an obstacle clinic and came away with a lot of valuable information.

As an older rider new to the sport, I appreciate the concern for my welfare as well as that of my horse. I was guided to age appropriate, for me, horses and provided with excellent instruction. Safety of the rider, and the health of the horse are areas of expertise willingly shared with all who will listen. So park your ego at the gate, and be open to what these wonderful women have to teach you. I am so glad I did.

I've just returned to CO after spending two incredible days with Linda and Laura. The attention to detail, their willingness to show patience and concern for my and my new horses well being was just phenomenal. I left with the horse of my dreams but also with a tool box full of helpful information that will truly make my experience with my horse rewarding and SAFE. They are two extraordinary people who make every moment a memorable one. Thanks to you both for getting me excited to be a horse owner and rider. I WILL be back to learn as much as I can from you!!

Best equestrian center in Tucson. Safest ive seen. Always starting new people on the ground with horses to establish a base line and ground rules for a safe, fun, and efficient time.

We had previously purchased a horse in May 2014 from Linda and Laura and he was wonderful. We were told we could bring him back if he did not work out. We still have him to this day We had such a great experience and felt confident that we would get the same by going back to them when we decided to purchase another horse.

We went back and as we were making the deal the horse acted funny and we were promised that if he didn't work out we could bring him back. He was just having a "horsey moment" Due to our previous experience and being told "You can always bring him back if he does not work out" we went ahead with the purchase.

We had issues with the horse and attempted to work with him and these issues never resolved, so we contacted Laura and were told we would have to pay boarding fees while they tried to sell him and we waited for them to find another horse that would work out. We then decided that we would keep him at our place and take him back once they found us another horse to trade him out for.

After several months had passed and no contact from them unless we called or texted. and then it was we are still looking. we decided to sell the horse. When a prospective buyer had the horse checked out by a vet we were told that the horse had Navicular Pathology and has had it for at least a year.

We sent Laura an e-mail offering a chance to make this right and still have not heard anything back.

we will no longer recommend them as we used to. we used to think very highly of them not any more!!

I went to the owner of Tucson Equestrian center for help with finding a horse to buy after a fourteen year hiatus from horses. Not only was I matched with the best horse I've ever had the pleasure of owning, (and after almost a year, I couldn't be happier with him!) but the owner and head trainer have continued to help me with furthering my horsey-education. I even decided to board there. Clean and well-run facility, knowledgeable staff, and I'm able to ride the obstacle course. Thumbs up, love this place!

For the last three months, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching my daughter grow leaps and bounds at the Tucson Equestrian Center. The highly level of professionalism has impressed me the most. I know that my daughter is in safe hands as they maintain a high standard of safety at all times and safety is at the forefront of everything they do. This is very important to me but it also has given my daughter confidence to grow in her riding. Her instructor, Laura, knows exactly how to build a confident and skilled rider. I saw my daughter go from being nervous and controlled by the horse to confident and skilled to control the horse. The mastery of small skill sets has been crucial to my daughter's success, and Laura has provided key tasks at the right time to develop these skill sets so that build upon one another in an orderly fashion. Laura is incredibly knowledgeable and it shows in her ability to instruct with great effectiveness. I am more than pleased in having come to the Tucson Equestrian Center. I look forward to the many years here.

I have been a coming here for several years providing a service for Miss Linda working for Best In The West golf cars co., In my interactions and observation of the people who operate this establishment, I find the most friendly, hard working, n well educated people in this profession to be highly recommended to anyone needing their horses stabled n cared for with the upmost love n respect! Thank you Miss Linda for always staying on top of things with a firm grip n most of all, for always greeting me with a beautiful smile!

Lora and Linda are amazing teachers. they taught me a spot-on jumping position and how to correctly handle horses. <3

I only have respect for Linda Colica and staff at Tucson Equestrian Center. It is a clean well designed facility with great places to ride and train. I drive 5.5 hours to take lessons from Laura Sisco once a month and Laura always makes the drive worth it. I have learned a great deal from her. In addition, it is always enjoyable for me to attend an event there with all the safe, challenging obstacles.
