What riders say about Springfield stables

Sac River Stables

We had a birthday party here. It was great! There were 4 horses and everyone got to ride multiple times. They set up an obstacle course for the kids to go around. The staff was friendly and helpful. So much fun! Highly recommended.

Valley Water Mill Park Equestrian Center

Nicely arranged with sprawling green space, wonderful arena both indoors and outside. Near a walking trail and activity center onsite. Staff were very patient and supportive in encouraging participants.
