What riders say about Carlton stables

KMC Equestrian

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelby. My daughter has been taking lessons with her for the past 3–4 years, and the growth we’ve seen — both in her riding skills and her confidence — has been incredible. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about each rider and horse.

★★★★★ Justine, Feb 2026

I’ve been riding horse here for about four months now. Both the barn and setting are great and Emily is the best riding instructor I’ve ever had. Both Emily and Kelby are wonderful instructors whether you’re a seasoned rider or are just getting in a saddle for the first time.
