What riders say about Princeton stables

Cathy's Critters

I'd legit rate this ten thousand stars if I could! And if I could legally rename the concept of “joy” to Cathy’s Critters, I would. We booked a birthday tour and I expected something cute, maybe a few animals, a guide with fun facts.

★★★★★ Eldest, May 2026

Heritage Hill Equestrian Center

Had so much fun today!💕💕 am coming back soon❤️Love the workers and of course the horses 🐎

★★★★★ Ms, Mar 2022

The "Franch" is like a paradise for horses! I have boarded my horse there for over 5 years and he has had the best care. I love the covered and lighted riding arena and the riding trails.
