What riders say about Garland stables

Rocking J Stables

The barn and pastures look like something out of a movie. The grounds are meticulously tended to ensure the horses always have something to graze. The horses have constant supervision by knowledgeable, capable, and caring staff who are all well-versed in horse care and emergency procedures.

Merriwood Ranch

I went to Merriwood Ranch camp as a kid and could not get enough. It's every little girls dream to spend all day with horses and learning all about them. Horseback riding has taught me hard work, responsibility and teamwork.
