What riders say about Amherst stables
Amazing people, top notch animal care, great facilities! I have been boarding my horse at Mack Hill for 7 months, and could not be happier. After moving across the country for work, I have found a hidden gem at Mack Hill. I never want to go anywhere else, it’s been that good there!
Beautiful land and facility, lovingly tended and kept up. The stable is smartly designed, efficient and has everything you could ask for: wash stall w/hot water, heated tack room, indoor, huge outdoor, great footing in both, run ins, huge grassy pastures, trails, cross country course… The list goes on.
This place is amazing! I grew up riding horses but did not take many formal lessons. Before starting weekly lessons at WHF, I hadn't ridden in about 4 years. Ashley, the trainer, was extremely welcoming and patient as I got back into the swing of things.
