What riders say about Durham stables
Such a hidden gem! Beautiful facility - kind barn staff - very knowledgeable instructors - and the lesson horses are truly the best. 10/10 recommend anyone to come check this place out , and sign up for lessons!
Whispering Willow Equestrian Center
I am an experienced rider who has had the opportunity to ride with trainers in MA, NY, NJ, CA, CO, NM and TX. I must say that my lessons at Whispering Willow Training has been one of the most helpful sessions I have had in a while. I was lacking confidence in my riding in general.
I take lessons here weekly and every time I come everyone is inviting and making me and others feel welcomed. The facility is very nice and well kept.The horses are being extremely well cared for and loved, they are also extremely gentle and kind!.
