This is an amazing place to come and board your horse. We come here for some lessons and have had nothing but amazing help in learning the horsemanship side of things. The person we are taking lessons from, Shaina with her company Healing Through Broken Strides has been amazing. I realize she boards there and it is not her property, however, the property is very well maintained. I have never seen a broken board or anything out of line. By all appearances all the horses are very well fed and taken care of. None seem to be lacking for anything. There is a variety of horses I have seen here from Arabians to Gypsys, Quarter horses to Paints and Clydesdale. Chris the owner has given tours when I have been around and she is very thorough. She explains all the availability that is on her property, over 200 acres of trails as well for comfortable riding time with your horse. I love that as I usually drive my vehicle in I get greeted by a couple of the older horses who are there living out their best life...they are each over 25 from my understanding. Also to note, there in pens they have goats, every so often I have seen young cows, and I love going and chatting with the the donkeys. It is an amazing place! To note, I also see the hay rings always full, and I see every time I have been there feeding time where the boarding horses are being fed the feed they are prescribed. There is a riding area and 2 round pens and a porta-potty available as well. I reiterate this because of another review states that they didn't have hay, and this is absolutely never ever been the case!

I love it here. My Percheron/Belgian enjoys his grazing & pampered treatment. He gets to be a horse here w/ lots of room to move. I love exploring this property. Every time is a new adventure.

We have been at Doringcourt Stables for almost two years now and we can't say enough about how extraordinary this place is. We come in and trailer our donkeys at any time during the day or night as if it was our own ranch! We love it! The staff and especially the Owner, Chris Smith, has treated us with total respect and giving us the space we need to train our burros. We love this place and hope to be part of Doringcourt for many more years. Thanks Chris and all your Staff!

Doringcourt is our home away from home. Everyone from boarders to the owners are friendly and all the animals are super sweet. My children love spending hours on end just hanging out and riding. They never want to leave. And if you are looking for that one horse Chris is the lady who can match you up. We are very grateful to Chris who matched us up with an amazing horse, Rey. Rey is our sunshine and life has never been better. We all can't wait to get out to Doringcourt to see our Rey and relax under the oaks trees with her sweet self.

I have been riding at Doringcourt for about six months. I love it. Chris and Pat are great. The horse I lease is wonderful and the other boarders are nice, fun and always willing to help, or answer questions. Doringcourt is a laid back environment with great facilities, well kept, well loved, horses and beautiful scenery. If you want nice folks, a great riding instructor, and a fabulous environment, come to Doringcourt.
