What riders say about Blacksburg stables

Paris Mountain Stables

I kept my horse at Paris Mtn for 7 years and honestly wish I was still there! I had to move out of state for a job and miss Paris mtn more than anything else. The owner and staff are knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

★★★★★ Melissa, Jan 2020

Rockin’ P Stables

Ellie goes above and beyond to make the farm a better place for the horses and their owners every year I have known her. She takes the best care of each horse and their individual needs whether it be nutrition, turn out needs, and even exercise!

★★★★★ Courtney, Oct 2024

Advantage Ranch
