What riders say about Bellingham stables

Kelly Park Stables

I work for a company that supports vulnerable adults and my client wanted to see horses. I took them to this farm to see horses and the staff were amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect because we didn’t give notice but when we arrived we were greeted by the kindest people.

★★★★★ Hailey, Mar 2021

Burkwood Farm

These riders are smart, talented, considerate and down to earth. Paige is very warm and welcoming I wish I lived closer!

★★★★★ Shayla, Apr 2019

Highland Mountain Ranch

Had a great experience buying a horse here! Bailey was very honest and went out of her way to make sure this was the perfect horse for me. Highly recommend!!!
