What riders say about Indianapolis stables

Fort Harrison Park Saddle Barn

This was me and my Wife's first time ever riding a horse and we both loved the experience. Followed a few simple instructions that we received before the Horse ride began and had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery. Horses were well behaved and never made us feel nervous. Definitely will be back in the furure.🙂

Tammy and her staff were incredible! We had a pony and horse for our daughter’s birthday, and they even came dressed for the occasion! The kiddos all had a blast! And all the staff were so friendly, upbeat, patient and helpful! A truly wonderful experience!

★★★★★ Abbey, Aug 2025

Just-Us Stables

Great little stable in the middle of the city! Stables are clean and we love to walk over and pet the horses. We also love their barn party every Halloween!
