What riders say about Lake Forest stables

Glen Grove Equestrian Center

I am writing as a boarder at Glen Grove. Before I came here I was at another stable around in the area. What really hit me here was the difference in horses behaviour. Horses at Glen Grove are happy. They are being well taken care of. They have daily routine.
