What riders say about Oakdale stables

Saletta's Lazy S Ranch

I have nothing but positive things to say about this ranch, and family!! As a first time, Horse owner, and border, I was nervous, leaving my horse anywhere. This family has been encouraging, supportive, and their knowledge about horses is unmatched.

★★★★★ Julie, Nov 2026

Shady Lawn Ranch

Jane really knows her stuff about horses. She has taught me most of what I know to this day. I always recommend Shady Lawn to others and will continue to do so. A great place to learn about horses and how to care for them.

★★★★★ Barbara, Feb 2026

Premier Equine Center

Pat and the entire team at Premiere are truly the best of the best!! Pat helped coordinate absolutely everything my horse needed while there for a few months while I recuperated from surgery.
