What riders say about Derby stables

Wichita Riding Academy

Absolutely love this place. I rode here in high school so when we moved back and my girls wanted to ride, this is where we came. I cannot day enough about Margo, she is fabulous! My littlest is scared of heights but loves horses and Margo is so kind and patient, and still teaches her the basics while making it fun.

Excellent care. Chuck, owner, is a knowledgeable horseman. The boarders receive top notch care. I have met a lot of great friends at the stable.

Spirit Riding

I was visiting this facility and met the owner and others that work there. I enjoyed watching them give lessons. I got to see first hand how well they work with their clients and horses. I never realized how much work there is in caring for all the animals.
