What riders say about Carmel stables

Carmel Equestrian Center

This is a great facility for horse boarding and riding lessons. The riding instruction is fantastic! My daughter learned more in 1 lessons with Miss Laura than 5 lessons at another stable in the area. Instructors work with but independently of the center; contact the center by phone for instructor contact info.

★★★★★ Austin, Apr 2018

Lucky Farms

I pick up the trash there every Friday and the facility looks clean, well maintained and constantly growing. You can tell what they do means everything to the kids who go there. The horses look well taken care as well.
