   Just took my daughter on her first trail ride at Lawton Stables and it was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience felt thoughtful and welcoming. The guides clearly knew their stuff and made us both feel comfortable right away.

   Anne springs was an adventure. It was a beautiful experience. It has a beautiful lake, a bridge that you can walk on to the other side of the lake. It has horses 🐎 and we even saw deer. It is a wonderful place to admire nature. You can do hikes here, even being your family for a family day.

   My husband and I love going on horseback trail rides. I am so happy that we got to do it this go around. Our guide is amazing!! I love how they have like a transmitter (device) where the guide talks into it and you have the other device where it acts as a speaker. So you can hear what she is talking about.

   We were at the Dressage show that is offered free to the public. It was fun watching horses and rider work together. Come prepared to dress for weather and be sure to watch quietly. Concentration is emparitive

   What a blast! My sister and I had the best time riding with Britney and Eric. The trails were awesome, the horses were so kind and gentle and we all had a great time. I highly recommend going for a horseback riding adventure whether you're new to horses or an experienced rider. It's such a fun afternoon.

   We loved it. All the people working were super friendly. Kids loved the train ride, inflatable slide and all the animals. Horseback ride was the best part of our trip and Santa.

   Maybe it was the Yellowstone marathon during Thanksgiving. Maybe it was the life long desire to be a cowboy, even for a little while. Whatever the reason, make your way to JMG Ranch. If you want to just experience riding a horse on a private trail, you won't find a better guide than Jeff Griffith.

   My daughter raved about her experience at Leg Up summer camp from her first day. I could tell the staff were friendly and engaging before stepping out of my vehicle. I was left feeling confident that my daughter was in good hands. We are now applying for full time lessons.

    We took our daughter to Black Horse Run for her birthday and had the best experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Jerry was incredibly kind, patient, and fun—he made the whole day even more special. The horses were beautiful and well cared for, and the trail was absolutely gorgeous.

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
