A place for all horse lovers
Our charming and unique equestrian facility offers boarding for resident-owned and lesson horses, as well as riding lessons for residents and their guests.
Founded in 1966, the Saddle Club of Laguna Woods Village was created to foster interest in horsemanship, encourage riding programs, and host social events. Today, the Equestrian Center remains true to its mission, serving as the venue for many beloved Village events, including summer barbecues, Taste of Country, Easter celebrations and egg hunts, and horse shows.
