What riders say about Plainfield stables

Normantown Equestrian Center

Everyone here is so friendly and helpful! Such a great place for kids to learn to ride and also to learn how to take care of horses. Volunteer opportunities teach even more (about horses and responsibilities) and can even lead to employment.

★★★★★ Kathy, Jun 2017

Ready Set Ride Therapeutic Facility

Lisa runs a lovely ranch that offers therapeutic riding for children with special needs. It is not a 1:1 medically based therapy or Hippotherapy that is conducted by OT, PT or SP, but it is therapeutic horseback riding - and she's fabulous at what she does.

★★★★★ Suzanne, Sep 2020

AZ Acres Riding

As an adult rider, it’s easy to feel left behind in the equestrian world. After not riding for nearly 20 years, I decided to get back into it nearly 5 years ago. My list of requirements were short: a casual atmosphere, no pressure to show, and well cared for animals. Luckily for me, they checked all three.
