What riders say about Locust Grove stables

Colchester Equines

After more than 20 years I finally decided to get back in the saddle. I found this place with google and thought I give it a try. Best decision I ever made. Sarah is so fantastic and she don't push me, let me take my time and she is helping me feeling confident again. Could not ask for a better trainer.

This was so amazing! Our trail guide Heather was perfect. Very informative and helpful. It is my daughter's birthday today and all she wanted was to go horseback riding. Heather even went to get cupcakes for us to have with our charcuterie board.
