What riders say about Newcastle stables

Crater Hill Equestrian

I decided to return to endurance riding after many years away focusing on riding quarter horses. Crater Hill provided me and my horse with an amazing experience. The whole Crater Hill family provide the supportive, learning environment for me to successfully reenter the sport I love.

★★★★★ Christine, Sep 2021

LB's Rock N Riding Ranch & Lessons

Lis is the best trainer and person. She loves each of her students like they’re her own. All of her fur babies are so loved. I’m so thankful for everything she taught me. I am so excited to bring my son to lis when he’s older

★★★★★ Bella, Jun 2026

Tammy McDonald Training

I have been riding here for 5 years and have learned so much from this ranch. Everyone here is amazing and knowledgeable and the horses are so friendly. I have been given so many opportunities here and would never want to go anywhere else.
