What riders say about Aurora stables

River Ranch

This place has a great horse camp in the summer that my daughter went to. She now rides there twice a week and loves it. Quality lessons for English style. The property is loved and well taken care of.

★★★★★ Sarah, Oct 2025

Goin' Places Training

My daughter has been riding with Carolyn for a few years now and has loved her program. Carolyn is a patient and supportive teacher and cares a lot about each of her students. She does her best to help them progress and learn new skills while maintaining a fun and positive atmosphere. I highly recommend her program!

★★★★★ Joan, Jan 2023

French Hill Riding Academy

French Hill is a great place to ride. It has great facilities and amazing trainers. All of the trainers and assistant trainers are very kind and respectable. French Hill has very well trained horses and the trainers will put you on a horse that will help you get better at riding.
