Located in a beautiful, peaceful, country setting in North San Diego County, TMEC is a 10-acre full service equestrian center offering personalized quality boarding for pleasure & show horses, retirees, mares with foals, and young horses. Currently we have boarders residing in Vermont, Nevada, Orange County,Temecula, and all areas of San Diego County. We strive to provide a safe and enjoyable equestrian experience, and to meet the needs of each horse in our care, which often includes individualized feeding programs, corrective farrier work and/or rehabilitation, exercise and turnouts, and other additional services. Professionally insured trainers are welcome when boarders desire training, instruction, hauling, or assistance at shows. Boarders are not required to be in a training program, and we do not maintain an "in house" trainer. Instead, training & instruction is available by appointment on an "as needed" basis.

 

Tapestry Meadows Equestrian Center

Drawn to horses and introduced to riding at age six, Sally Cobb had the privilege of growing up near Will Roger's State Park in Pacific Palisades, California. Thanks to an incredible mom who drove her to the park every day, she spent her early horse-crazy years grooming, exercising, and hot-walking polo ponies, training race horses for polo, cleaning tack, feeding supplements, rolling bandages and other barn chores, having fun with gymkhana, taking riding lessons, and riding all types of horses, showing, and traveling to work the polo games at Santa Barbara and Hollywood Park. She worked at the Will Rogers polo grounds for players including Joel Baker (now married to dressage judge Charlotte Bredahl), Jim Adams, Phil Ramsey, and Will's son Charlie Rogers. Sally has had the privilege of learning from many instructors and employers including DiAnn Langer (now at LAEC), Suzie Hoover, Jeremy Hastings (Foxwood Equestrian Center), Cathi Simm, Lisa Halterman, Kim Keenan, and Jill Borders-Beltran. Sally has enjoyed working in administration, barn management, sport horse rehabilitation and breeding management. Over the years she has expanded her knowledge through association with other barns including Hunter's Run, North Coast Equestrian Park, Foxwood Equestrian Center, Far West Farms, Ridgemar, Westbrook Farms, Wildflower Ranch and The Oaks.

After taking a ten-year sabbatical from horses in order to raise her two sons, to finish college and to earn a teaching credential, Sally returned to the horse world. "When I finally spent time with horses again, I realized just how much I had missed them. The therapeutic benefits derived from the care of a horse are amazing."

"People ask me about the origin of the name, Tapestry Meadows.....During a time of reflection, I thought about how much horses have enriched my life and the lives of others, and the Carole King song came to mind. Horses really help to create that " tapestry of rich and royal hue…" Will Rogers said; "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." I don't know exactly what that "something" is, but I do know that those of us who are drawn to horses find great joy in being around them".

"We love it here. Besides the awe-inspiring views from the facility, the local trails are another wonderful feature. While we are out riding, I often consider the majesty of the purple mountains at sunset, the camaraderie and the positive energy created where people and horses are enjoying life". With the excellent training and instruction, equine education, and the personal care for each horse, Tapestry Meadows is the place to be!
