What riders say about Newtown stables

Cavalier Farm

My daughter has been riding at Cavalier Farm for a few years, and she’s learned so much! Her confidence and riding skills have really grown working with Cheryl. Cheryl does a great job teaching not just riding, but also everything that goes into caring for the horses and the farm.

★★★★★ Shellie, Oct 2025

Fox Ridge Farm

Took lessons at FRF/leased/ kept my horse there all through high school, was there a total of 8 years until I moved away permanently for school/ work. It's a beautiful facility, nice indoor arena, outdoor arena, and trail accessible. I made some life long friends there, still in touch with them today!

★★★★★ Courtney, May 2017

One Above Farm

Andrea is a wonderful teacher! She taught me how to ride again after a 20-year break, and bad fall, and was patient, understanding, and encouraging. At first, I was a nervous wreck but she made lessons fun, and challenging.
