What riders say about Candler stables
Ruby Ranch is a truly beautiful and healing place. My elder mare has found her lovimg home there and has become healthier than ever. The land is serene and nurturing — every visit feels like stepping into a retreat.
In 21 years of owning horses this facility has been the most professional, accommodating and pleasure able experience ever. I look forward to coming out, my horse is happy and the people are fantastic! Highly recommend
The trainer here is absolutely amazing! She is patient and focused on the horse and sets a great foundation for the rider to move up the ranks. The horse care here is the best in the area!
