What riders say about Columbia Falls stables

Firefly Horse Co Wellness Retreat Center

Firefly has been amazing for my daughter! This place offers so much more than just riding lessons. Riding has helped her build confidence and calm anxieties, all while doing something she loves. Everyone has been so wonderful and takes extra time to allow her to “hang out” with all the animals.

★★★★★ Tyler, Nov 2023

Mitchell Farm

Our group of eight had an absolutely incredible stay at Mitchell Farms while traveling through Montana with our horses and visiting Glacier National Park. The private camping area was beautiful, peaceful, incredibly clean, and had plenty of room for all of us, our horses, dogs, trailers, and rigs.

★★★★★ Karen, Aug 2026

Sorensen Training and Shoeing, LLC and Bad Rock Boarding and Arena

Shaun and Codi at Badrock Boarding have built something special. The indoor and outdoor arenas are both spacious with excellent footing — great dirt that makes riding a pleasure in any season.
