What riders say about Watertown stables

Luce Line Stables

When I was in the process of buying my first horse, this barn was recommended to me by another long time boarder. As a beginner I was welcomed to the barn without judgment.

★★★★★ Ashley, Jun 2019

Orchard View Stables

This is a gorgeous and very well-maintained facility! The grounds, paddocks, pastures, barns, working areas, arenas, tack storage, lounge etc. are well thought out by people who care and understand horses, training, and high-end showing/competition needs.

★★★★★ Sotagirl1, Jul 2021

Hill Ranch

Absolutely beautiful location, always kept very well manicured. Owners are the sweetest and friendliest people to board with. Plenty of space for fur babies to roam on and has a trail you can ride/ walk on. Best location yet.
