What riders say about Boone stables

Grandfather Stables

Absolutely loved it here, wonderful horse farm with beautiful horses with an amazing surrounding. My children loved walking thru the stables and seeing all the horses. Then we enjoyed a short escorted ride. Great place for quick horseback riding fun.
