What riders say about Ottawa Lake stables

Rainmaker Stables

One of the best barns around. Everytime I come all of the animals are friendly, clean and, happy! Owner and barn manager are super nice and welcoming! Property is huge and beautiful.

★★★★★ Lindsay, Nov 2025

Flying Change Farm

My children had their first lesson last night. Amy was nothing short of fantastic with my children who have little to no experience riding or with horses. She was patient with both of them, taught them so much and they can not wait to return.

★★★★★ Ben, Oct 2022

Ridgeville Equestrian Center LLC

Beautiful top-notch facility, highly knowledgeable trainers, and my gelding has never looked better since being on their feed and hay! Stalls and water buckets are cleaned very well each day. Riding arenas are dragged regularly, so footing is always excellent. So many other great amenities are included too!
