What riders say about Knoxville stables

Weeping Willow Miniatures, LLC

We love Weeping Willow Miniatures! The trainers are patient and knowledgeable. Catherine makes the process super simple & is very responsive. Highly recommend if you’re looking to take riding lessons!

★★★★★ Katie, Apr 2025

Sonny Brooke Stables

My daughter’s all have had lessons at Sunnybrook for years now. We boarded my oldest’s Horse there until purchasing a farm of our own. Krystle is a great trainer and very patient with her students. The facilities are top notch. The group of girls that train there are very welcoming and are like a family.

★★★★★ Jonathan, Apr 2021

Cumberland Springs Ranch

My daughter's horse is boarded there. All the stalls were well kept and all the stalls had fans mounted to help keep the horses cooler. Very friendly people who also board there. Owners of ranch are delightful and friendly.
