What riders say about Ridgefield stables

Ridgebury Farm & Stables

Ridgebury Farm is no ordinary farm. It is an experience. My daughter riding at Ridgebury Farm has never felt transactional. The staff’s joyfulness for the horses is infectious. Ms. Katie, co-owner, is remarkable; on our first visit to the farm, she gave us a tour and let us pet the sheep and goats.

★★★★★ Justin, Mar 2023

Stepping Stone Farm

As an adult amateur who took a 20 year hiatus I couldn’t be happier with Stepping Stone Farm and Starbuck Equestrian. The trainers got me back in the saddle, and back in shape in no time! Then they matched me with an amazing horse, and got me back in the show ring!

★★★★★ Betsy, Mar 2018

Starbuck Equestrian

I have been taking lessons at Starbuck Equestrian for many years and I could not be happier with the never-ending support that I have received from both Amanda and Juliana Starbuck and the quality of instruction exhibited by the entire teaching staff.
