What riders say about Harvard stables

Cripple Creek Ranch, Inc

Great lessons and a wonderful place to learn how to ride. Chrissy is very knowledgeable and experienced and helps her students with whatever they need, and is very flexible. My granddaughter looks forward to going there every week.

★★★★★ Leona, Aug 2022

Round Hill Ranch

The horses are well cared for. They get grain daily (with supplements if they get any) and are visually checked at that time. They have hay in hay huts with nets so they are not eating off the ground. There is a wash stall, a heated tack room and there are several cross ties for grooming and tacking.

★★★★★ Lisa, Mar 2020

Hidden Tower Stable

My horse has a great home. Heather and her staff take care of our horses as their own, and I am so grateful.
