What riders say about Southern Pines stables

Walthour-Moss Foundation

The Moss Foundation is always a great place to ride. It's in the sandhills so the footing is great for barefoot horses. Some paths are suitable for carriage driving. You may encounter deer, turkey, or other wildlife.

★★★★★ Carmalee, Jan 2019

Refugio Farm Equestrian Center

Ignore the negative reviews it’s from a bunch of kids that were mistreating a horse and she told them to stop and now they are harassing her, leaving bad reviews and making fake profiles to message her day and night.

★★★★★ Veronica, Mar 2020

Woodlawn Farm

The barn has a friendly, laid-back vibe that is very welcoming. Caitlin is a very good instructor and they take excellent care of the horses.
