Video of Javier (Beto) Gamboa and Legend Has It (aka Melvin) at the Area 3 Championships showing in the Training division. We enjoyed a wonderful show at the gorgeous Bouckaert Farms at the end of June for the Area III Champs. Unfortunately, they didn't bring home a ribbon as Javier and Melvin were focused on conquering one particular question and after successfully getting over it, Javier mistakenly missed the next one, leading to a technical elimination. (Oops! -- even trainers make mistakes once in a while!) They quickly recovered and received permission to ride the SJ course for no score where they finished the week with a great round 🤩

Be sure to listen for Melvin asking the dressage judge "How did I do?" at the end of his dressage test 🤣

Hi everyone! We all know this summer heat 🌞 is brutal 🥵 ! In order to give Beto and the horses a break from the worst heat, we have come up with a schedule. This will prevent trainers from teaching during the hottest part of the day. Beto will be teaching lessons:
Tues-Fri 9am, 10am, 11am, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, and 6pm
Sat-Sun 9am, 10am, 11am

Please let us know what lesson slot(s) you would like to have. Whatever slot(s) you pick will be your new standard lesson(s). If your ride time is at 9, you must be on your horse by 9 (that goes for all the lessons). Please arrive earlier to groom and tack up.

At this point, no same-day drop-in lessons; you will have to make a reservation in advance. Please coordinate with your trainer in advance, at least several days (preferably a week) in advance, for the schedule of the lesson horses. This also goes for our assistant trainers as well.

You are responsible for letting your trainer know if you cannot make it, or if you need to change your lesson time. Please try to give 24-hours notice. Special accommodations can be made upon request.

Please message us if you would like to be added to our Facebook Messenger page for news and updates about our lessons and schooling shows.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your trainer specifically.

We greatly appreciate everyone’s cooperation! 🙌 And, we give huge props to all our clients for their support and for continuing to ride thru the summer heat 🔥 Please remember to stay hydrated with our new water cooler in the office❗️

So true 🤣

Our Story

Welcome to Dream Horses Equestrian Center, Lake County's full-service Hunter/Jumper/Eventing equestrian facility. DHEC covers all your Hunter/Jumper and Eventing needs from full-service boarding, to beginners' lessons & shows, to national-level A Hunter/Jumper training.

Owned and operated by Javier (Beto) Gamboa since 2009, Dream Horse Equestrian Center is a top-caliber facility, complete with fully equipped clay jumping ring, separate dressage ring and beautiful 5-acre cross country schooling field. For the beginner, DHEC teaches how to tack up and basic horse care and grooming. We believe that taking care of your horse is an important part of the lesson program. Caring for your horse before and after each lesson makes each rider feel more comfortable around horses, teaches responsibility and allows the rider to feel closer to their mount. For novice and intermediate riders, we offer an extensive lesson program focusing on safety and horsemanship so you can move up to that next level. The program features many school horses, group instruction, and frequent participation in local shows. DHEC provides additional services for the equestrian community, including offering horses both for sale and for lease.

DHEC offers all the amenities of first-class boarding with an experienced and dedicated professional staff. Full board includes stall, daily turnout, morning and evening feed and hay. Every horse has a stall. While the weather is pleasant all the horses are out in the pasture night and day unless the owner specifically requests to have them in their stalls. During the summer some horses may spend half the time out and the other half in. We have approx. 4 horses per beautiful, green pasture. We have a fully equipped clay jumping ring with lights and a separate dressage ring. We also have a cross country field perfect for schooling. High and dry 16 stall barn with 12x12 stalls and 3 cement-floored wash racks in the back. On-site trailer storage is also available. Barn includes large tack room with saddle racks and space for your tack trunk, feed/hay room, office with CLEAN bathroom, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine and dryer.

About the trainer -- Javier “Beto” Gamboa has worked with horses for over 30 years and comes from a family of successful equestrians. He is the youngest of five brothers all involved in the equine industry - four (including himself) are trainers and one is an equine veterinarian. His father began training horses in 1948, so it’s safe to say, this is more than just a hobby, it’s the family passion. To date- three Gamboa’s have been to the Olympics – one in dressage, one in jumpers and one riding in the Junior Olympics. Javier has competed both nationally and internationally since the age of 10 and began teaching and training in Colombia, South America at the age of 18. He later moved to the United States in 1986, where he has continued his equine career. His love for dressage started later in life thanks to eventing and has blossomed in to a passion like no other. Javier is striving to obtain his bronze medal in the near future, and doesn’t seem to be stopping there. He still manages to maintain a professional career training horses and giving approximately 40 lessons per week to his students.
