What riders say about Hamel stables

Skyrock Farm

Skyrock farm is such an amazing place to learn how to ride all different types of horses. I started riding there when I was younger and I was an uncertain kid who struggled with independence. Skyrock has helped me in so many way overcome that, inside and outside of the barn.

Ridesport Stables

I have been a boarder and taken lessons at Ridesport for 12 years! The care they provide is phenomenal and has always been consistent. The property has gone through too many upgrades to name, and the owners are very in tune to every horse in their care.

★★★★★ Sheri, Mar 2021

Horseplay Ranch

I've been at Horseplay Ranch for 4 years now and as someone who who has been doing the horse thing for 42 years and owned several horses, this is one of the nicest and most easy going barns I have ever been at. The owner and barn manager are very personable and strive hard to keep a drama free barn.
