What riders say about Anchorage stables

William C. Chamberlin Equestrian Center

Went here to see the Alaska Rodeo. I think it was better than the state fair in Palmer. What is awesome is I live in Anchorage so way to go William C. Chamberlin Equestrian Center! I will visit annually for now on!! My family loved it too!! I am very pleased! Great place and the horses are ON POINT!

Eaton Equestrian Center

The Eaton’s are wonderful trainers and people who care deeply for their clients and animals. I have taken both group and private lessons from them and have become a better rider and horse-woman for it. They have a number of horses from which they are able to teach riders specific skills from.

★★★★★ Ashley, Sep 2021

Rockin' B Ranch

Rose is an amazing instructor who has taught me so much since I got there. This barn is amazing for both beginners and advanced riders and she takes amazing care of her horses. I would recommend this barn to anybody no matter what level you ride at or what discipline of riding you’re interested in.
