What riders say about Fuquay-Varina stables

Ballentine Farms

I have been a customer here for over 3 DECADES!!! This is the place where my horses call home and where I became a great equestrian. If you or someone you love is passionate about horses, they are already internally motivated to become the best horseback rider.

★★★★★ Kelly, Mar 2021

Pepperwood Farm

I have boarded my mare at Pepperwood for the past 5 years and the level of care doesn't get any better compared to other boarding facilities we have called home over the past decade. It's a wonderful horse community.

★★★★★ Sarah, Oct 2022

Iron Horse Farms

I have boarded my horse with Iron Horse Farms for 6 years now. The owners and employees take excellent care of the horses in their care. This is a no drama (low drama) barn. The barn is fairly new built and modern. Features include round pen, arena and wooded trails.
