What riders say about Franklin stables

Loving Chapel Stables

Absolutely some of the nicest people. Will recommend to anyone for any sort of venue. Wedding or otherwise. If the owners read this thank you for allowing my client and I to use the property for his senior photo shoot.

★★★★★ Duke, May 2024

Sundown Stables

Sydney, Ian and their family are just wonderful. You can count on them to take top quality care of your horses. The property is beautiful with a covered outdoor arena, a second separate outdoor arena, a round pen, well maintained trails on the property, a wash rack and get ready stall, several tack rooms, and a lounge…
