What riders say about Columbia stables

Columbia Equestrian Center LLC

This was the greatest experience in a long time. Gave our granddaughter a riding lesson for her birthday. The young lady took her through everything from going out to get the horse, grooming, feeding, saddling, riding and finally putting the horse up.

★★★★★ Terry, Oct 2021

Anderson Equestrian Center, LLC

Katie is a fantastic instructor. She makes sure our daughter is progressing and ensures that she is learning to ride the proper way without any "bad habits". She is very knowledgeable about equestrian education and education in general. The facilities are great as well.

★★★★★ Alec, Jan 2018

Amulette Equestrian Center

Such a beautiful place! I love boarding my horse here! Owners are very friendly and the facilities are amazing! Couldn’t ask for a better barn!
