What riders say about Fountain stables

Tamarack Boarding Ranch

I can not say enough great things about boarding my horses here. The property owner and manager is not only understanding and kind, but a hard worker and a problem solver Has great connections and is prompt on responding to any questions I have.

★★★★★ Rachel, Oct 2022

Diamond J Equestrian Center

I highly recommend this place! We have lived and boarded here for five years. If you can do the math, that means, yes we were here when it was cactus creek ranch. Since it has been five star, we have watched the changes and upgrades as this place transforms right before our eyes.

★★★★★ Alyssa, Oct 2021

Competitive Edge Performance Horses

I cant say enough! My daughter came to Sam less than a year ago. We had done trail riding for a couple years, but my daughter needed more! Thats when we found Samantha with Competitive Edge Performance Horses. She taught us all so much, (I didnt even know how to saddle a horse!
