Mt. Miguel Equestrian Center is a 5 acre, full service, horse boarding and training facility located on the eastern border of the Bonita-Chula Vista metropolitan area. Our clients mostly live within 10 miles of the equestrian center so they are there and actively taking care of their horses on a regular basis. We usually have about 58-62 horses at any one time, sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less.



Our mission is to provide a clean, safe, and friendly environment where clients can come spend quality time with their horses, their family members and their friends. We support this mission by assuming responsibility for feeding all horses both morning and evening. Additionally, Mt. Miguel employees clean all corrals and box stalls daily. We pride ourselves on property maintenance so our clients enjoy a safe and clean environment.
