What riders say about Gastonia stables
Jon Walker Stables & Riding Academy Inc.
We first saw Jon Walker Stables for a our daughter's 7th birthday party in May 2017, and it was a blast! The kids all had a great time, EVERYONE was able to ride the horses in the indoor ring and experience the fun of riding. A few kids even signed up for lessons at the party.
Highly recommend Ms Mora. She is a great mentor to our 5yr old daughter, taking lessons for 6mos+. The farm is very well kept and we enjoy having picnics there.
Lisas place is an amazing place and she cares and helps so much! to the person who commented about the kids on the side of the road: i was in that lesson and the kids didn’t give any sign they were there. they made a noise right beside a horse and it bolted and spooked everyone else, causing 2/4 riders to fall off.
