What riders say about Dayton stables

Carriage Hill MetroPark Riding Center

I decided to take my girlfriend horse back riding for the first time in her life, I had never been to Carriage Hill. It was an awesome experience. Horses seemed kept well, the people were nice and it was easy to register and get going. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in the experience.
