What riders say about Portsmouth stables

Glen Farm Stables

Great experience being able to see all the horses and very old buildings. We were able to see a jockey saddle up a horse and go for a ride.

BirdHaven Ranch Inc

Definitely worth the visit! The goats and bunnies were so cute and friendly, and horses were very sweet as well. Me and my partner came by for a visit and were very happy with our experience. The owner and her children were so welcoming as well as knowledgeable about the animals! If you have the time go visit!
