What riders say about Dover stables

Paradis Performance Horses

Ben absolutely loves therapeutic, horseback riding at Paradis Performance Horses. Bunny is an amazing calm sweet horse. Kris is knowledgeable and intuitive knowing just how much my son can handle. To see my son’s eyes brighten with surprise and joy as he uses the reins to guide bunny for the first time made my day.

J Freiman Dressage

Excellent facility with a beautiful outdoor riding ring, a nice indoor and an outdoor fenced-in area for riding or lunging as well. Horses are very well cared for by an efficient staff. Training available by a professional gold medal trainer who is wonderful.

One big family! Great care is given to the horses. I never have to worry about my horse and know he is in great hands.
