What riders say about Stamford stables

Mead Farm

A superb riding facility, 1st class tuition and wonderful horses. Rode my 1st Morgan ( not available at my local equestrian stable in England ) w.t.c.and jumped 1st time in many years. A must return when in the USA again. Thank you for allowing me to ride at your stable.

Runabout Farm Pony Rides

We had runabout farms come to my grandson’s birthday. What an excellent job they did, pony rides and petting zoo was just awesome. If your having a party I would highly recommend them.

★★★★★ Robin, Sep 2021

Quinlan Equestrian

It is hard to find trainers like Lisa. Not many work well with people like me because they don't have the patience to work with people who can get in their head because of anxiety. Lisa never got frustrated with me or my anxiety but calmed me down and helped me ride at my best. Lisa is truly one in a million!
