What riders say about St. Charles stables

Burberry Gates Farm

LOVE this farm. Owners are exceptional and the care of the horses is their #1 priority. The farm is beautiful. Could not keep my horses at a better or in a more fun loving environment.

★★★★★ Katie, Dec 2022

Over the Top Equine

This lovely little legacy property is just off Randall Rd in St. Charles with top notch facilities to board and train. Kelly, the owner and instructor, has forgotten more about all things equine than most people will ever know.

★★★★★ Erik, Apr 2026

Kinvarra Farm

After moving to the area I could not have found a better barn with better people. Janet, Ryan, Eric and tucker are not only knowledgeable but wonderful caring people. Their facility is top notch and the care for their horses is consistently a priority. I can’t imagine what more you would want.
