What riders say about Marengo stables

Cross Winds Farm

I’ve been a member of the cross winds family for the last 15+ years. This barn operates as a team and the well-being of the horses and riders always comes first. The facility is gorgeous and cared for impeccably.

★★★★★ Courtney, Nov 2018

County Line Farm

I had my first lesson today with Abby this was my first time riding outside of trail rides so I was a bit nervous but she was fantastic she was kind, reassuring and explained everything I am definitely looking forward to my next lesson.

★★★★★ Stephanie, Jul 2026

Coral Ridge Stables

Dave & Lori and the rest of the staff are awesome! The stables are very nice and the horses are very happy here! Lots of room outside for them to graze and horse around!
