What riders say about Norwalk stables

Rolling Hills Stables

We booked a trail ride for our daughter's birthday as she loves horses. It was a gift for her, but we all had a great time. The staff was welcoming, friendly and very helpful on the trail to ensure we had a great experience. The trail had some beautiful scenery and we even saw some deer!

AKS Farms

My daughter started riding horses and having lessons and the horses and staff are amazing !

★★★★★ Chad, May 2023

Green Wood Stables

Neither my son nor I have any riding experience and we decided to give lessons a try for an activity for him and for something we could do together. Lessons have become the highlight of our week.
