What riders say about Athens stables

Jones Valley Farms

Had the best time this weekend at Jones Valley! Got to have the horse experience riding Apollo. He’s so sweet and gentle! Loved being on the farm and enjoying the views, company, and figs. Can’t wait to visit again with friends & family!

★★★★★ Melissa, Aug 2022

Seclusion Farms

This is by far the best stable in Athens. We boarded our first horse there and or last before I bought my own land. My daughter and I have made life long friends from this stable. The horses are well cared for . The arena is well kept. They offer stall and pasture board and have group and individual paddocks.

★★★★★ Shelley, Jun 2025

Inyazura Farms

I've been taking my daughter for riding lessons and I can't recommend a better place than Inyazura. Melissa is a PHENOMENAL teacher with all of the patience, know-how, and attention to detail to empower a new rider. My daughter's never been happier; shout out to Bree and Barney for taking such good care of her, too!
