What riders are saying

I couldn’t be happier with the boarding facility where I keep my horse. The amenities are wonderful—an indoor heated arena, a great outdoor arena, and miles of beautiful trails that make riding enjoyable year-round. The atmosphere is welcoming, the people are friendly, and the staff truly goes above and beyond. Cheryl, the barn manager, is incredibly helpful and genuinely cares about the horses, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m very grateful to board here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that feels like home for their horse.

I have been boarding my horse at Dakota Stables for over 3 years. What makes Dakota so special to me, are the people. All the boarders are so helpful and friendly; the owners, barn manager and all the workers truly care for the horses. Riding areas include a heated indoor arena, a huge outdoor arena, a small cross country course, groomed trails and even gravel road riding if you want. Various trainers and clinicians are available, plus 1-3 fun shows per year and a super fun Halloween party. No matter what discipline you ride you will feel at home.

Dakota Stables has been my second home for 3 years now, and in my time here I have met some of the most supportive people including the barn owner and manger. They strive to make it a place where any equine (horse or mule) is safe, comfortable, and happy. Between good quality hay, fresh water everyday, individual feeding programs suited for every horse's individual needs, and an incredible team of staff I know my horses are always getting the best care. Dakota Stables has supportive trainers/lesson instructors that are always willing to help. There are many different places to ride whether it be the well taken care of trails, heated indoor arena, or the outdoor arena. The Stable's community is always a welcoming place for all riders of different disciplines and riding levels.

I absolutely LOVE boarding my horse here. The staff is very attentive to all the needs of every horse, truly care about the well being of each one and make sure they actually know each horse. I am blown away by the compassion each person shows. But also the facility itself is great, the indoor arena is awesome in the winter, the outdoor arena and round pen are extremely nice to have during the warmer days. But also the trails, I could go on about the trails for hours but just know they’re beautiful, well maintained, and so much fun to ride your horse on. Your horse will have 24 hour access to food (unless dietary restrictions prohibit - the staff takes good care of those specifics also), fresh water - I have never once seen an empty water troph, shelters and plenty of love. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring, respectful and loving place to board.
