What riders say about Gillsville stables

Double S Ranch

I purchased this absolutely magnificent gelding from Giceli at the Double S Ranch a few months ago…. I had had a particularly bad experience with an online auction site in Kentucky… I had to rehome that spotted walking horse that I purchased sight unseen… Note to self, do not drink wine and go on an auction site!!

Grove River Ranch Equestrian Center & Retreat

Stayed here for almost 60 days in the bunk house. This is attached to the stables, yeah I’m scared of horses but with CJ and Cas there they have helped me to get past some of that fear. CJ to this day welcomes me to come see the horses and pet them to help me move farther from that fear.

Flying D Stables

Mrs. Willie went above and beyond helping my son with his senior horse boarding project. I absolutely loved her kind nature!
