What riders say about Gainesville stables

Haile Equestrian LLC

My daughter has been taking lessons from here for a few years now and still loves it! The owner is absolutely amazing and goes above and beyond. Their instructors are very knowledgeable and love teaching the kids. I can not say enough good things about this place. Would highly recommend!!!

★★★★★ Aly, Dec 2025

Misty Morning Hounds

I boarded my horse here for a year and loved it! Beautiful property, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. They have tons of fun events and Alexis is a pleasure to work with. The only reason I left was because we bought our own property with enough room to keep horses. Otherwise I’d still be boarding there!

★★★★★ Mallory, Oct 2021

Madonna's Equestrian Academy

My two kids have been riding for years now, (since they were 2yrs old) Madonna is the best teacher I know. She not only teaches how to ride but also how to care for your horse :) She is patient, kind and loving. If you're looking for a true horse lover to teach you to ride Madonna as a person !
