What riders say about Willow Springs stables

Memory Lane Stables

My friend and I went here for the first time to ride horses as part of her birthday. All staff were nice and answered all of our questions. There were lots of animals to see and visit with while waiting for our turn to ride. I had Buddy the horse. He was a bit naughty but I loved it. Who wants a boring horse? Not me!

★★★★★ Becky, Nov 2021

Sarah's Pony Rides

We celebrated my daughter's third birthday at the North Star Party Barn, and it was the perfect venue! The space easily accommodated around 100 guests, with plenty of room for vendors, food and drinks, and even a dance floor.
