What riders say about Carlisle stables

Johnna Stables

I've been in casual contact with Donna for years and she was always available for advice and help. After leaving riding due to back issues and leaving a good trainer, barn, and horse, I didn't think I'd ever be back in the saddle.

★★★★★ Trish, Mar 2023

King's View Acres

Best stable hands down!! Friendly, helpful, supportive environment! Beautiful, large indoor arena! Amazing dressage instruction! Really focuses on the well being of the horses first and foremost. Can't say enough good things! The owner is especially great with children! (But adults too!)

★★★★★ Laura, Oct 2019

Hollyhurst Farm, LLC

I cannot put into words how incredible this barn and their team is. The owner, Kathi, was able to let my horse have a stall overnight last minute. The entire time, everyone was so kind and helpful. I had an emergency on the road which left me stranded in the middle of a cross country trip with my horse.
