What riders say about Minooka stables

Ellis House and Equestrian Center

Ellis house&equestrian center is the best house and equestrian center that I have ever been too! I absolutely love all the horses as a volunteer there . What gets the kids the most is the pony rides at family fun night . And summer camp! There was five girls at summer camp and it was fun having them come .

★★★★★ Dakota., Jun 2013

Ever After Equestrian LLC

We boarded and took lessons here for a year and absolutely loved everything about Kristi and her barn. She cares deeply about horses and it shows in every respect: from the way she interacts with the horses to how well she treats her personnel and her facility.

★★★★★ Jay, Oct 2020

Rancho Real Saddlebreds

I dropped my niece off for her riding lessons and got a tour- the place is huge. Met all the horses, even petted a couple. The people were very friendly and welcoming, and they seemed very knowledgable. The place was surprisingly very clean and well kept too. Overall, seems like a great place. 👌 10/10 def recommend.
