What riders say about Brookings stables

Circle H Stables

Circle H stables is a wonderful place to do any horse related work at. The owner is easy to work with and treats people well. The workers and boarders are friendly and nice people. Hay and straw is sold there and it is the best quality hay I've seen since my hay guy retired a couple of years ago.

★★★★★ Anna, Jun 2018

M2 Performance Horses

M2 performance horses is such a blessing! I have had all three of my horses there for a long period of time and I have been amazed at the progress each time. Morgan and Melissa treat every horse that comes into their barn like their own and are so good at sending updates on your horses!

★★★★★ Lily, Aug 2021

Hawk Stables LLC

So glad to have found this place. Best group of people around! Also the owner Misty does equine bodywork and my horses (all of whom have special needs to accommodate) really enjoy it!

★★★★★ Kirsten, Jul 2026
