What riders say about Alachua stables
Unforgettable, soul-filling stay a true destination home. Bella Terra Hills is not just an Airbnb-it’s a masterpiece, a retreat, and an experience you feel in every single detail. You can tell instantly how much time, intention, and heart Dili poured into this home.
We've been getting excellent training from Greta for about 10 years. From weekly lessons to coaching at shows, we get great support. Her assistant, Jackie, also has provided excellent coaching and horse training. Highly recommend.
I have been to 3 other horseback riding schools this year with my buddy. Thumbs up was the cleanest, kindest, and most inventive lessen we have had. Kami really took her time feeling out what skill level the rider has and what would work and what would be a little too complex.
