What riders say about Abilene stables

Shockey Stables

This was our first time riding horses, and it was a great time! Judy and all of the employees made us feel so welcome, and helped with any jitters. They were so wonderful with the kids- I wouldn’t have changed a thing! 👍

★★★★★ Corinne, Jul 2020

Lone Star Stables

My Daughter and I showed up in Abilene for High school rodeo state finals and were immediately welcomed to the staples like family. Angela was so thoughtful, the barn was beautiful and well-maintained. Phillip had her stalls ready and even offered to help us carry our stuff! We will definitely be back again!!!

★★★★★ Sam, Jun 2021

Gray Performance Horses

This is a wonderful place to take your horse, yourself or both of you to build confidence or learn to build a lasting bond with your horse. Gray is a quiet patient teacher with a wealth of knowledge and a gentle manner.
