What riders say about Upton stables

Achorn Acres Farm

Craig and Julie are amazing instructors. My daughter has been going here since she was about 10 and she has learned so much. She came with a love of horses, which has grown and grown. Her self-esteem and confidence has also grown.

★★★★★ Mia, Dec 2018

Bobcat Farm- Cathie Hatrick-Anderson

Cathie is amazing. I started as a complete beginner, had never even touched a horse in my life. She puts an emphasis on horsemanship and ground work and has helped me build a really solid foundation.

★★★★★ Lillian, Oct 2025

The Carlyle Estate

Five stars aren't enough to express how happy I am with the Carlyle Estate. From the moment I first visited, I knew this was the perfect home for my horse. The facilities are immaculate, well-maintained, and clearly designed with the horses' (and therefore owners) well-being in mind.
