What riders say about Avon stables

Avon Valley Show Stables

My wife loves this place. You don't have to own a horse to get great lessons with quality horses. It's rare around here.

★★★★★ Joao, Jun 2016

US Horse Welfare and Rescue Organization

I need to respond to the negative response & rating from Sarah Z. She is a young woman who did not find what she needed because she was against all advice from the experienced trainers. It wasn’t anything related to horse training or care that made her leave. She is angry & lashing out.
