What riders say about Waterloo stables

Traiteurville Stables

Thank you Traiteurville Stables and Joe for being more than accommodating to my horse and I. Shortly after moving here from OH I found out my horse has an old injury from her jumping days, and Joe has kept a close eye on her since day one. I can’t say enough good things about this place!

Double Take Farms

Amazing barn owner who is highly-educated in equine nutrition and knows how to provide excellent care for horses. The facility has 3 separate track systems for herd management, which helps horses stay outside and active, with in-ground automatic waterers, and 24/7 access to unending high quality hay for each track.

★★★★★ Lee, Mar 2026

Oak Ridge Farm Equestrian

Oak Ridge Farm Equestrian is a beautiful facility. In addition, the stalls are immaculate and the barn is beautifully well-organized and maintained. The trails as well as the arena provide multiple opportunities to enjoy riding and communing with friends. However, the best feature is the skilled trainer, Tarnia Morris.
