Best Stable Springfield Near Me

Michael Clark: Great place, nice folks they still have some good horses left here at the end of the season . . . Donkeys I don't think are for sale

April Clark: Great family run place for a trail ride. Have been here for many years, we always get an awesome person with lots of patience

Juan Real: Me and my brother went here and let me tell you, this place is amazing, the staff are patient, calm, and kind. The horses are beautiful and kept in good condition and treated well, it's a little sloppy since there's stool in most places. Payment is cheap and easy so if you are on a budget this is the place. Beautiful trail with fields and trees, and you have control of your own horse making the experience even better. The lady over the phone was very nice and explained to me the prices and how everything works. It's also very easy to find the entrance. Overall it's a great place for family and kids. 🐴

Humble Hayl: Our trail guide Joe was amazing! He had great knowledge on the horses and the ride was worth the money!

Mariam Farouk: People were very rude and cursing at my daughter

Amy Richard: My niece and I had a great experience! The horses were beautiful!! It's a beautiful piece of land and the ride was great. Joe was very nice.

Milton Shannon (Mr.Milton): Great Guy Knew Him & Stable's From 1968

dani tleis: A+

John Theadore: We recently purchased a wonderful draft cross from Crowley's and had a great experience. Alice was very accommodating to arrange an appointment for us to see the horse (we were coming in from out of state), and made sure to have an excellent rider there to show us the horse and get us set to take him for a good test ride. I was extremely pleased that they held him for a pre-purchase vet check, and helped us arrange for shipping back to our farm as well. I even got a post-purchase follow-up call just to make sure I knew details of the feed he was currently on and how to introduce him to his new surroundings, etc. I really felt that everyone at Crowley's cared about the wellbeing of the horse, and of us as customers. I am very pleased with every part of this transaction, and thrilled with our new horse.

Liza B. Knapp: Arrived and turned right around because the staff here is NOT masked in spite of standing very close to customers. Nor were they requiring customers to wear masks. I called the office to report this but they seemed unconcerned. This in spite of the fact that their website says in big letters that customers must wear masks and maintain six foot distance. Do not be misled by the website, THIS BUSINESS IS NOT COVID -SAFE.

London K: Amazing I loved how they are saving these animals from kill pens and the horses are very well cared for and are so kind!

Terry-Anne Lawler: Worth the wait! If busy, be patient & remember that the wait assures better treatment of the horses! And sweet trail horses they are! A wonderful outdoor experience & terrific workers!

Mark Daniels: Awesome place trails rides friendly staff gentile horses for all levels of riders

Fred Bovat: Its great im a big guy 6ft5 n 280lbs n they had a nice horse just for me it's an hour ride on the trails im use to riding 4x4 guards like my grizzly 600 4x4 the horse can go were i can't go il be back again .

Toni Santos: We just took a one hour family ride on the trails with Joe. Everything was great. The horses are gorgeous. We all enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend❤

Jeni Sylvester: Good experience today 8/14/20. The lady who showed us how to ride the horse was nice. My mom got on the horse but was scared and got off immediately so she didn’t ride and the lady voluntarily refunded us with no question. Very professional people. Crystal our guide was nice and patient also very educational. We learned a lot about horses. Ice cream and Spoon were very excellent horses. We will be back! Ps they offer fair pricing that’s an extra whammy!

Hazel Smith: My experience here was just ok. It could have been a lot better and I would probably not come back, but here's how it went...I called the day before to make an appointment, so I was surprised when I showed up the next day and didn't see anyone around. There aren't any clear signs indicating "parking" or "office" so once we arrived, I called again to notify them that we were there because I didn't know where to go or what to do. Eventually, Joe came out of the barn and we paid and signed paperwork. We went down to where the horses were at and they seemed wildly unprepared for riders. Joe and another girl were frantically trying to get the horses ready. Three other riders showed up (who also had made an appointment) but we all waited for about 20 minutes while they saddled up the horses. Both employees went out with us with one leading and one in the back. Once we were on the trail, both employees started smoking, which was not an enjoyable smell when you are 1. trying to enjoy nature and the open air 2. trying to avoid people's breath during a pandemic. The ride itself was fine, but a bit boring. The paths were not well trimmed or maintained, so there was a lot of ducking and trying to avoid trees and bushes. We didn't go faster than a trot, so that too was disappointing.Overall, I'd say, if you have small children and want the experience of sitting and walking on a horse, this is probably fine (and if you don't mind cigarette smoke blowing in your face). Otherwise, I'd look for something else. I'm from the midwest and have done guided trail rides before and this was NOTHING like that. The other rides I've done were on very clear paths and the guide would talk us through trotting, cantering, and galloping. They were very short bursts, so you never felt unsafe, but it was enough where you felt like you were really riding a horse. This was nothing like that, so I was pretty disappointed, especially for $40 a person.

Michael Lebron: Fun

Veronica Pellot: I went with my boyfriend today, we had an amazing time! Joe was great! Looking forward to coming back.

crosscountryhauling: Not impressed by the owners .

Rachael Bernstein: Favorite place to ride with my favorite people

Michael Jones: They are very supportive and flexible. I have had nothing but great interactions and experiences for both my 5 year old and 13 year old!

Jill Scibelli: So happy they took my horse in and helped me get set up for my new project.

Lori Dearborn: My son attended a horse camp here and loved it! They taught him about taking care of the horses as well as how to ride them. Highly recommend!

Melissa Pandina: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI can not recommend A Stables more. Their staff are friendly, knowledgeable and patient. They are generous with their time. The horses are wonderfully trained and beautiful. I took a couple for a photo shoot here and the staff made sure they got all the shots they possibly could want and the couple had a very fun day.

Sandy Mann: We had the best time ever at AJ's Stables. We brought my step daughter for her 9th Birthday. She was so excited. The staff was great with her. They were very patient. They explained things to her about how to steer and how to make a horse stop. They walked her around riding the horse and helped her gain confidence. I would highly recommend coming here. My daughter and I are planning to go in the fall for a lesson and a trail ride. Thank you AJ's Stables for making such great memories for us.

Melissa Dargon: We had a blast!!! Hubby and I went for a date night last night. Owners were extremely nice and patient. I am going to be returning for lessons. Can't wait!

Jennifer McCloskey: I loved to ride her it’s so fun the horses are awesome and funny

Karen Sprague: Great show thanks for hosting

Brandon Parrelli: Great place for kids to learn.

Victoria Perry: Love the people there the horses are so nice easy to handle.

Troy Brittingham: Great place, beautiful horses and welcoming

KP: These people basically tried to scam us. My fiance spoke to a woman over the phone to set up an appointment to look around and possibly take a lesson. She told him to stop by the next day. He got called into work and couldn't make it. She proceeded to tell him that we now owe her $100 because she had to get the horse ready (which takes 10 minutes). She did not inform us of any fees like this over the phone, nor did we ever sign anything. She actually thought we were going to drive down there and hand her $100 for nothing at all? I really hope other people are not falling for this and paying imaginary fees that pop up when the people working there have a tantrum over something as small as needing to cancel an appointment. Truly disturbing.

Hannah Hadley: Beautiful property with well tended and loved animals. Holly is an excellent horsewoman, sure to give you a wonderful experience.
