What riders say about Forest Lake stables
What a smart and kind group of people at this Stable. I've been around many barns and sometimes you find people who are not kind. The opposite is true here! I met the owner Susan first and she is wonderful and happy and interesting.
Truly one of the best farms in the area! The owner and family are amazing people who care for the horses like their own, do what's best for each horse (even when it's a hard thing to do), and cultivate a warm, friendly, "family" community within the barn. Both horses and humans are happy here!
Highly Recommend True Blue Equine! The experience we have had with True Blue Equine has been outstanding. The entire program, spearheaded by Kari and Liz, is wonderful, combining a professional approach with genuine warmth and expertise.
