Heaven on earth. Horses. Horses. And more horses. Easy off and on Highway and near Bonita Mall.

I had my dream wedding at Sweetwater Farms! If you are looking for a rustic one of a kind venue, Look no further! My whole day was like a dream, we got ready in the darling bridal studio (I am so obsessed with the Tiffany blue antique couch in there!) The groom’s room is so much fun too. The ceremony was outside just before sunset and the lighting was magical. They have a huge collection of antique chairs and beautiful wooden benches combined with canvas covered Haybales for guest seating. I loved having the horses so close and using the beautiful black-and-white one for our photos. The cocktail hour was so fun in there adorable western town which flows smoothly into the giant party barn for the reception. We brought in a taco caterer and had great meal, then danced the night away on the giant outdoor dance floor. The owner and coordinators were so wonderful to work with, there was no detail ever missed (these ladies know what they’re doing). I had a lot of fun planning everything with them. I had honestly looked at six other venues before making the best decision ever by choosing Sweetwater Farms!!

The staff here are seriously lacking any kind of appreciation for student development and dont bother to actually teach the kids anything. My daughter fell off her horse accidentally during one session and was scared to trot. The staff basically declined to help her work through her fear because my daughter would get emotionally upset at the idea of trying to trot. They told me that they are unable to provide personal instruction during class and recommended we enroll in 1-on-1 instruction. The class sizes are super small (maybe four or five students maximum) so there is no reason for not being able to provide more personal instruction to a particular student who is struggling or fearful. I wouldnt sign my child up here again. They dont foster a positive learning environment.

I have been riding at this facility for some time now and I must say, the community is profound. My trainer has never failed to ensure my and the horses well-being while pushing us to be a better duo. Sweetwater Farms fosters a welcoming environment for riders of all ages and capability. I am tremendously grateful for my time with this group of people, and I will always recommend it.

My daughter has been taking lessons at Sweetwater for several years. The trainers have been so good to her. She has gained so many skills, and her confidence has soared! My daughter has been a working student at the barn which allows her to gain leadership and teaching skills. The community is warm and welcoming. If there is an opportunity for my daughter to spend time at the barn, she will!

My daughter (age 7) did a week long camp during the summer. I was quite impressed with the work they did. She did riding, grooming, stall cleaning, and general horse housekeeping. I was impressed by the end of the week with how she could independently do these tasks. She seemed to bond well with her horse (Daisy). I also thought they did really well with the camp size (7 kids) and the ratio of staff to campers (they had 3 or 4 staff helping). Very nice camp.

This was one of the best wedding venues I have ever seen! There was so much attention to detail and everything was planned out perfectly. The staff were professional, easy to contact, and lovely to deal with. We consider them part of the family, they bent over backwards for us! Such a magical experience, beautiful wedding, and memorable day that I will never forget.I have recommended Sweetwater Farms to all of my friends and family and have even taken some riding lessons there. Truly a family friendly stable that cares about their horses as well as their clients.

Amazing day and the staff was great clean safe experience

This is a great farm and I was astonished! The staff and instructors are so good with the horses and kiddos!! Our riding experience has been good so far! We have tried camps and they are so fun we intend to keep riding! The horse we ride is FAncy; she is so wonderful, she is calm and beautiful! Nemo is also a favorite! He is so funny! We love to ride here! Thank you Sweet Water Farms!!

My daughter loved camp! I do wish there was better communication throughout the week, especially regarding the final show and potluck.

While the location is rustic and lovely, the owner/manager of this facility is rude and unprofessional. My son recently had his wedding at this location, We were warned by the wedding planner, who you are required to use if you have a wedding here, that the owner/manager can be very difficult to deal with. As warned, she lived up to her reputation. We did not realize she would be present throughout the wedding and reception riding around in her golf cart, arguing with our vendors, family and guests.This would have been enough to cause anyone to issue a poor review. However, the day began with her yelling at our vendors as soon as they arrived. Five minutes after the ceremony, she showed up with her tractor to begin moving the benches away while we were taking photos. After a very loud discussion, she took her tractor and left. The rest of the evening consisted of unreasonable demands and dirty looks. The planner we hired to be there to keep the evening running smoothly was not there, but at another venue and we had to deal with her assistants whom we had never met before.The greatest disappointment to the evening came when the wedding cake was served to our guests and it was systematically covered with termite dirt that was falling from the rafters. There is absolutely no way they should be taking peoples money to have an event here. With the behavior exhibited by the owner/manager, they obviously would prefer not to use their facility as a wedding venue and the condition of the barn should never be used as a dining facility. I am currently negotiating with the health department, Superior Court of San Diego, and the owner/manager of Sweetwater Farms.

My daughter had the best experience at this camp. It is an all day camp for one week. The instructors take the best care of the kids, while insuring their safety. Thank you Caita and Roberta for the best experience.

My Grandson just had the best time at Horse Camp!! Well be back for summer camps. The girls that teach the riding are super.

I brought my two kids (4 & 2 years old) out to the family farm for some hands on time with some very friendly animals! They had a blast each doing a pony ride on Bullseye ( He looks just like the character from Toystory!) After that we were able to get up close and personal with a donkey, a few goats, and tons of chickens and ducks! There was a great photo op on a bright red antique tractor. The kids had such a blast, we are planning on making this a regular weekend activity. I am also talking with the owner to set up a field trip for my sons preschool class, great customer service from a local family run business. Highly recommend!!!

I have to agree with the other comments. The people here are so rude I wont ever do business or even try to communicate with them again. Such a shame.

Amazing experience! My daughter loved it

Nice bit of country.. Close to the city

Our daughter had an amazing week at Sweetwater Farms. She loved Napoleon.

I can attest to Cassandras review, even though I never directly witnessed the interaction in question. Coincidentally, my love of horses began here as well, which is a shame, because although I love the horses, the people there are not very nice.After going there for a while, I was sent away for no reason, other than that they considered me a threat of some kind. But I never did anything wrong!Thats the thing about this place. They have the best horses but they will judge, police, and arbitrarily form conclusions about people that are in no way true. If they keep it up, they may not have clients for very much longer...

My daughter had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back

Fantastic experience for kids!!!

The horses have scabies, plus the people that work here dont know anything.

This place is a treasure, and remains a treasure!
