What riders say about Bristol stables

Magna Vista Farm

I wish I could give more stars! I have owned and ridden horses for over 30 years, and I cannot say enough good things about Magna Vista or Lorie Thomas Fleenor. Lorie is one of the greatest horsewomen I have had the pleasure to meet, and that includes those who are internationally renowned.

Wellspring Valley Farm

Having boarded at EverMoore for many years, I was a little concerned that when the farm changed hands, things would change and not for the better. But I no longer have that concern. I'm very pleased with how the Warrens have made this beautiful farm, their new home, even better.
