What riders say about Ipswich stables

Back Bay Farm

I wasn't there for a riding lesson or anything. I just to take pictures for a school project and Robin, the manager, was totally cool with it. She asked Carrie to bring out one of the horses for me and I couldn't be more grateful to them for letting me do this. Thanks again! Here's one of the pictures I took.

Ascot Riding Center

I don’t normally write reviews. But this is truly a special place. Ascot is one of the few places still around that teach horsemanship and riding from the ground up; beginner to advanced. I compete in the 1m+ jumpers with my big Belgian Warmblood.

★★★★★ Sarah, Dec 2024

Cedar Tree Stables

My horse has been at CTS for a few years and I have no intention of moving him. The facilities have done nothing but improve over the years and the care can't be beat. There are many turnout options and my playful thoroughbred has been remarkably happy (sometimes too happy!).
