What riders say about Colchester stables

Cottonwood Stables

I have had horses with Cottonwood for over three years now and have been very happy with the level of care and attentiveness that Jeff and Emily Senesac offer. They truly take pride in their business and have a genuine love of ALL of the animals.

★★★★★ Brendan, May 2016

Blackrose Morgans

I have been with Angie at blackrose for two years now. I have my personal horse boarded with them as well as in training. It is without a doubt one of the best barns I’ve been at. Care is exceptional, my horse is the happiest and healthiest he’s ever been.

★★★★★ Jaclyn, Nov 2026

Destiny Morgan Farm and Equestrian Center

I am so happy I found Destiny Morgan Farm to board my rescue Morgan! He gets the best care - blankets on and off as needed, fly mask/spray as requested, shared vet calls, supplement feeding and plenty of space. Lucky loves his turn out group and has fit right in there.

★★★★★ Carrie, May 2020
