What riders say about Great Falls stables

Southdown Farm

Southdown is a sanctuary in this crazy world. Great care for the horses; reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly staff; indoor and outdoor arenas with lights; and access to trails down to the Potomac. But what makes Southdown so special is the people - diverse, supportive, fun, welcoming, and all around fantastic!

Our daughter, Simrin, has been training with Liz since July 2023, and the growth we’ve seen over the past 30 months has been remarkable. Liz is a wonderful, experienced, and incredibly patient instructor who has built a fantastic rapport with our daughter.

Great place to learn and progress with horsemanship, riding and horse care in general. As an equine professional it's great to see places like GFEC.
