What riders say about Hampstead stables

Bang-Tail Stables

Bang-Tail stables is the best barn in Wilmington/Hampstead! Anna and Deezie take amazing care of the horses and have a true passion and love for teaching. I’ve been a student at Bang-Tail since I was very young and it holds a special place in my heart. I highly recommend this program to beginners and advanced riders!

★★★★★ Kodi, Jun 2023

Cool Breeze Equestrian

I absolutely love it here! I can’t say enough good things about the facility and the family that takes exceptional care of the property and especially the horses. My horse is cared for like one of their own which is everything to me. All horses are happy and healthy!
