What riders say about Athens stables
I am fairly new to the horse industry and was referred to Adrieen and Ricochet Stables from our current trainer. I was so impressed by Adrieen’s desire to ensure I purchased the right horse for me and my goals and not just a quick sale.
I have taken weekly lessons from Sue for over two years and recommend her highly. She tailors the lessons to the riders experience level yet still subtly pushes them to keep moving forward. My horses and I are better because of her .
