What riders say about Aiken stables

Full Gallop Farm

Great place to school and show. Wonderful owners who are very helpful. We go up to school xc and they are so welcoming to us and our horse. We will probably board there when my daughter moves up tp Aiken for college. Great XC course!!

★★★★★ Julie, Mar 2019

The Vista Schooling And Event Center

This place is literally a slice of heaven! My friend and I joined about two months ago and we literally feel like we are at a horse country club. The amenities are gorgeous. Think “The Four Seasons Hotel” But for horses. And can I give a major shout out to Marian she has what I call “a spirit of excellence.

★★★★★ Victoria’S, Jun 2025
