Spring is a great time to ride at Shelby Farms; everything so green and lots of flowering trees and shrubs. The stables have changed hands, much for the better, so those of you who got burned in the past, come back! No more pony rides, however; I guess they had to cut back on some expenses.

Alrighty. The horses are kept in good condition, and are calm. I went riding with my dad, and our horses caught up to a small family's horses. the mother was on a mare, and her child was on that horse's offspring. well, the youngster (either the kid or the colt) decided to go down into a trench, the dad was...

My daughter and I just moved here from Connecticut recently, and our first visit and trail ride with Shelby Farms Stables was so very positive and wonderful! We have been going back every week ever since! I have grown up with horses for over 30 years, and I have never seen such well adjusted, well taken care of, calm happy... More

Felt sorry for the horses; mine was starving and kept stopping to eat anything. It seemed totally dehydrated. The place was nasty over-priced, just a bunch of kids. Someone really needs to call the authorities..have heard this is not unusual for Shelby Farms. I told my Friends whom I was visiting and they refuse to take their kids there. Shame!

My Dad and Mom took me to Shelby farms horse riding, and we loved it. It was a great family experience. Everything we hoped to happen, happened! We saw uncontable amount of deer, a beautiful scenery, and got to bond with each of our horses. I recomened every person thinking about goiing to go and enjoy the experience.

Excellant experience. We rode yesterday on a beautiful sunny day. Very friendly staff. We even saw several deer on the ride. They offer pony rides for children under 8 years in a covered shed. Children 8 years to 18 years are required to wear helmets which are provided, which is an insurance requirement. Good idea for safety conscious parents. Ride... More

The experiences that I have had at Shelby Farms Stables has been nothing less than outstanding. The horses are great, the staff was friendly and it has always been a pleasure to go riding there. The new owners have become really good friends of ours and I can't say enought good things about them. They are caring, considerate, down to... More
