What riders say about Galena stables
This was the first time taking my son to ride a horse. It was a great experience. I’ve never seen such clean and well taken care of stables. The horses were mild mannered and the guides were pleasant. We really enjoyed our time and the views were amazing.
The drive to Riverview Ranch was exceptional. Clear directions facilitated a seamless arrival, and upon entering the ranch, I was immediately immersed in the vibrant surroundings adjacent to the Mississippi River. Gentle horses and a welcoming goat created a soothing atmosphere.
Great place for housing and riding you horse, miles of cross country trails and many jump obstacles winding through a delicious valley. Also has great horse classes through highland community college.
