What riders say about Elk River stables

Pony Party Place

What an amazing, relaxing, and unique experience for children and parents. We had our daughter's 5th birthday here and we were very pleased. Communications were easy. All staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. The farm was very clean and well kept. All the different animal experiences were fantastic.

Merry Mac Farm

We love it here! I have an older gelding with navicular so he can require a lot of special care and he gets that care here. The owners pay close attention to the horses and let you know if anything comes up that needs your attention. Communication between the owner and boarders is excellent.
