What riders say about Sycamore stables

Runaway Ranch

I am so grateful to have found Runaway Ranch! Being a part of this community has been so much fun and so rewarding. Ryan and Krissy have supported my son and I not only in this amazing journey that is horses, but in life as well. As a parent, joining this barn family has been so good for my son.

★★★★★ Stefanie, Feb 2026

Lazy J Stables

This place is a gem! The barn is clean and well-run, with lush grass pastures and long turn-out time (ever watchful eye on the forecast), nice indoor arena and viewing room with bathroom, close access to great trail riding in the Burlington Prairie Forest Preserve, and friendly boarders.
