What riders say about Granby stables

Strain Family Horse Farm Stable + Horse Sales

I was in the market for a new horse and found there were many untrustworthy individuals. Then I contacted the Strains. They invited me to come up and ride as many horses as I wanted. They accommodated me when I asked to use my own tack and guided me every step of the way.

Valkyrie Equestrian Center

There is a reason why Valkyrie Equestrian Center has been in business for 20 years, still with the original owner. Carolyn Mainardi and her staff provide professional, quality instruction from the seasoned competitive rider to the casual weekly lesson students in a friendly, family oriented environment.

★★★★★ Rebecca, Mar 2019

Cavallo Farm

This is a fantastic place all around! From the huge stalls, beautiful paddocks, indoor and outdoor rings with quality jumps, to the organised and knowledgeable barn manager and trainers, Cavallo Farm is gem! Brilliant and meticulously maintained, quality around every corner. Our horse has never been happier!
