What riders say about Gurnee stables

Double W Stables

We've had the best experience with Diane as a trainer over the years. She reads the personality of her students, knows how far to push to get the best out of her riders.

★★★★★ Shawn, Jul 2025

Winter Meadow Farm

Winter Meadow Farm is one of the best barns hands down. Everyone here is so close and such a loving, supportive and positive community which is so important. The training here is top notch and there are so many show opportunities locally and non-locally which is great.
