What riders say about Wauconda stables

Foxcreek Stables & Ponies

I love fox creek I’ve been riding there for 3 years! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. My instructor Ms.Lori is a fantastic trainer, she’s very knowledgeable and nice. She taught me how to get a horse groomed and tacked and much more. Not to mention while I’m riding she teaches me facts about horses!

Lakewood Stables

I board my horse here and am so happy with my experience! Staff provide great care, facilities are amazing (indoor arena, jumping ring, outdoor polo arena) and are continuously being maintained and upgraded. Best of all owners, trainers and other boarders go the extra mile to make you feel welcome!

V B Farms, Inc.

A great local farm and farm stand with a welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere. The vegetable stand is always well stocked, organized, and a convenient place to pick up fresh produce. The property is clean and well maintained, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the farm and the animals.
