What riders say about Chapel Hill stables
Took my little one over the weekend who had suddenly gotten the idea to “ride a horse” to the first time. Staff were incredible, and she *loved* riding Sunshine! The young man who walked with us showing around the farm was so helpful. Equally enjoyed petting and feeding the bunnies, goats, and pigs.
Had a great time with the kids and friends at a photo shoot birthday party! There was a play gym for the little ones, a picnic table for snacks, and fun horse lessons to top it all off. Looking forward to going back!
North Star Training Center, Inc.
Lynn does a great job with amateurs and professionals alike. I have seen her take students from never haven shown to FEI on their horse. Care at the North Star training facility is superb!
