What riders say about Middletown stables

Mark Ford Stable Inc

Attended USTA Harness Drivers School here in 2018. Great training facility. Spacious, modern barns, therapeutic facilities for horses, huge, well-maintained track, many turn-out paddocks. Top notch stables locate and train here. Reasonable drives to many racetracks.

★★★★★ Joe, Jun 2018

Black Ridge Farm

Words will never be able to fully capture everything this place has given me. Brittany is a professional who is very knowledgable and extremely passionate about what she does. I have been riding with her for 18 years and I am confident to get on any horse knowing the skills she has taught me have prepared me.

★★★★★ Alyssa, Dec 2022
