What riders say about Poolesville stables

Bascule Farm LLC

I have had horses at Bascule for 13 years. My two daughters and me first went to Bascule with an old off-the-track-Thoroughbred. After a few months we concluded we needed to retire her and Julie helped us find a great place to retire her.

★★★★★ Lisa, Jun 2020

Willow Mist Farm

Kelsey at Willow Mist has been such an amazing trainer and inspirational role model to my daughter for nearly 4 years now. Her training techniques and skills are truly unmatched, and she is just a wonderful person to work with.

★★★★★ Cherine, Jul 2022

Poplar Hill Stables

There aren't enough good thing to be said about Poplar. Alex, the head trainer and Rachel, the barn manager and assistant trainer have helped me and my horse move from the 2' to the 2'6 hunters in just a year.
