What riders say about Dover stables

Oak Ridge Stables

I have had my horse at Oakridge stables for 5 years and my horse and I are very happy. Owners live on premise with mmaculately kept property and facility with good pastures for the horses. Quality care for all animals and owners are easy to work with.

★★★★★ Lori, May 2020

Star Lance Farms

We have worked with Star Lance farms for a couple of years now. We appreciate how the trainer works with the kids and sets expectations for growth. The kids learn how to prepare the horses for lesson. They are not coddled, but they are praised when goals and expectations are met.

★★★★★ Gilli, Aug 2023
