What riders say about Cottonwood stables

Cottonwood Creek Equestrian

Very large, very clean facility with plenty of parking space. Friendly workers, very nice people. Lots of space for horses. Nice enclosed arena with seating for events.

Serene Ranch

My boyfriend and I had the BEST time at Serene Ranch! I'm so glad I had my very first riding experience with Echo. She was so informative and gave the best vibes all around. We learned so much about horses and now have so much respect for them after our riding session.

★★★★★ Thi, Dec 2024

Tinyhoof Horsemanship

When I met Erin and decided to start riding English, I was a HOT MESS! I never thought I’d be able to feel comfortable in anything but a western saddle at a slow jog, and now I am flying over fences on my Gypsy gelding and not looking back!
