What riders say about Grayslake stables

On Course Riding Academy

This truly is my happy place. I’ve been riding since I was a kid, and the experience that On Course Riding Academy provides is a rare find. Val is so knowledgeable, and you can truly see how much she loves each and every horse and takes pride in her students.

★★★★★ Courtney, Mar 2024

Shorewood Acres

I love this stable. I take riding lessons here and Nancy, the owner, is so patient and knowledgeable. I've also taken my granddaughter for lessons. A very friendly, caring place. Horses are well cared for. The summer camp for kids is fabulous. Highly recommend the camp for your kids or grandkids.

★★★★★ Akite, Jan 2023

E. Holland Stables

The most beautiful horse stables I've ever seen. Wonderful owner and head groom. Horses are treated like family. If I had a horse I'd definitely board him here!
