What riders say about Athens stables
I've boarded between 1 and 2 horses at Dixon's for the last 2 and a half years. I was new to horses when I started, and Dixon's would always answer my questions and give me advice. My horses have been healthy, so what more can I ask.
I am writing a 5 star review for Grassland Ranch due to I feel that Andy and Mike have a 5 Star Boarding Ranch. I had my horse Lightening there for a good while. Grassland has some very nice arena's for riding. The indoor and out door arena's are very nice.
My daughter has taken riding lessons with Mrs. Myra and did a riding summer camp and she learned so much and had a fantastic time. Myra is an excellent teacher and her horses did so well with my daughter as she learned. Highly recommend Drop Barn!
