What riders say about Taylorsville stables

Foothills Horsemanship Academy

Foothills Equestrian Center (FEC) is a wonderful stables. Dana’s knowledge, resources and training have helped to keep my mare from becoming a pasture ornament. For years I have struggled with trying to get her going.

★★★★★ Tina, Jan 2016

Little Valley Equestrian

Tiffany is absolutely amazing with kids and horses!! My daughter loves riding with her! She makes it fun and educational!! My daughter has progressed nicely and she loves going! I highly recommend Tiffany and all the great ponies and horses at Little Valley Equestrian!!

★★★★★ Eliza, Apr 2024

Free Spirit Ranch

Jessica is a great riding instructor and one of the few western riding instructors we've found in the area since most teach English riding. My daughter really enjoys her lessons. Would and have recommended to others.
