What riders say about Waxhaw stables
I would highly recommend this facility to everyone who is looking to have the full horseback experience and to develop true horsemanship. We recently relocated to the area and finding an equestrian center turned out to be a difficult task.
I recently moved 5 horses to Double R Stables. The owner Rhonda Porter personally picked up my horses from their previous barn and helped me with every detail. 4 of my friends from the previous barn have also moved their horses to Double R.
This was an amazing experience! You get to do all the things you ever wished you could do riding a horse. Get ready to REALLY ride a horse. Super fun, super rewarding, super tiring!!! The staff is excellent. Very friendly and very knowledgable.
