What riders say about Middletown stables

The Stables at Westfield

My daughter loves riding here. I've seen more improvement in her skills in one year at this facility than in the 4 years she spent at another barn. It's clean, the staff is kind, the grounds are beautiful and the animals are cared for with love.
