What riders say about Charlottesville stables
Brookhill farms was everything my friends and I wanted and more! From our arrival to our departure, everyone was so friendly, welcoming and accommodating to us! Our horses were beautifully taken care of and confident perfect beginner rides!
I’ve been a boarder and student with Jubilee Equestrian for over 2 years now. Rebecca is extremely consistent, professional, and is the hardest working individual I know. Every horse I’ve seen come through her program has experienced improvements in happiness, health, and ride-ability.
