What riders say about Monticello stables

Swan River Stables

I absolutely love boarding at Swan River Stables! The stable is in a peaceful country setting, not by a busy road. The owners are friendly and very knowledgeable about horse care. The hay is always good and in hay huts out of the rain. Caring for your horse is truly their number one priority.

★★★★★ Wendy, Oct 2026

Diamond Bar-o

Faith is an excellent trainer, she is thoughtful, careful, and patient. Lessons are flexible and fun and my daughter loves every minute!
