What riders say about Bethany stables

SaddleView Farm

I took my daughter for our first riding lesson. It was a great experience. They set us up with the perfect horses and the trainers were to notch. we are looking forward to going again soon.

★★★★★ Christopher, Feb 2025

Red Skye Farm

Red Skye is a wonderful barn in Connecticut for riders and individuals looking to volunteer their time towards a life changing cause. The care they provide for their animals is the best I've seen in my years of working with horses.

★★★★★ Kimberly, May 2016

Blackhorse Equestrian Center

Nothing but good things to say. Melissa will treat your horse like her own! Have boarded horses here for 10 years and been riding here nearly 2 decades.
