Horses are turned out 6 days a week weather permitting and you can always find a helping hand around the barn! Boarders are very polite the barn is open discipline with trails and a good size indoor arena! I recommend boarding your horses here. My thoroughbred mare Heidi is very happy with her home as well!

www.foresttrailsstable.com…read more If you are looking for a well run, clean, safe place to board your horse for a fair price without having to drive out into "corn country", call Forest Trails. This well kept, quiet boarding facility is family owned, operated and occupied. It is nice to know that your horses have someone there with them 24/7/365. The owners are very active "horse people" that are more than qualified to run a boarding operation. The amenities include: 70x140 indoor arena, 100x200 outdoor arena with lights for night riding, outdoor round pen, dry paddocks, small medical paddock, and large grass pastures for group turnout. Turnout is 6 days a week, and is NOT an extra charge. Extras include several jumps and trail obstacles for use, and a trail to ride on right off the driveway. You don't even have to cross the street! The barn feeds Nutrena products, and quality hay.

I have boarded my horses at Little Creek Farm for about 13 years. The people (management &…read moreboarders) are always concerned about the welfare of the horses as well as their riders and you truly get a sense of community when you're at the barn. Little Creek offers so much for the horse owner: lessons (beginner through show level), easy trail access (miles and miles of Cook County Forest Preserve trails), show opportunities, indoor & outdoor arenas, 6 day a week turnout and a caring and knowledgeable staff. I have trained with Sue for almost 20 years, in several different equestrian disciplines, and have never stopped learning. All the people at Little Creek are like a second family to me and I thank them for that.

I wanted to do something fun before the weather turned on us, so I decided to look up stables with…read moretrail rides for all levels of riders. I ended up finding Tower Hill Stables, only a short drive from me. Tower Hill Stables is exactly what you'd expect it to be. There are stables with beautiful horses and lots of land to wander around. The guided tours are, in my opinion, priced appropriately for an hour long ride. (There's a coupon on the website!) Basically, you walk around the large property on your horse, guided by an experienced rider. Our trail ride was basically private, since no one else had decided on our 11AM weekday time slot. It was really nice and calming. Glory, my horse, was a bit tired that morning, so we went a bit slow and occasionally had a bit of 'take out' from the trees on the path, but it was still lots of fun! After the ride, you get to hang around the stable and see the other horses. They're all too cute! The only thing this is lacking is an element that might extend your stay. I want to go with friends, but if we wanted to sit and chat, there's no place to do that, so we'd have to go to the neighboring town to find somewhere to talk about how awesome the ride was and maybe enjoy some food. Otherwise, this is a great place and I fully expect to go back before Winter hits!

Still a really friendly business - including owner, staff and boarders.

Horses get fantastic care, boarders are happy. All in all - a good business.

It is the most gorgeous, and quite place. Everyone is family and there is new opportunities to exceed everyday, not only while working with the horses, but yourself. They have the best most experienced trainers and facility. Their horses are top notch, and willing to make you too. This is a relaxed environment specializing in many disciplines of the equine. I bored my horse here, am on their competitive hunter jumper team, and I would never imagine leaving. I've meet so many people, and willing to call all of them my family and best friends. I find myself wanting to go to Cross Winds more than going home. I consider this my 2nd home.

She is also in tune with the horses, and will not risk a horse or a rider's safety. Barns are barns and horses are horses. With barns comes dirt, but Fox Chase overall is very clean most of the time. Horses are well cared for, and a number of the families who board there allow the use of their horses for lessons and HorsePower Therapeutic Riding. Most of the people there are down to earth, horse loving individuals. I'm not interested in a perfect barn, shiny stalls and halls, and people who think they are too perfect to help people new to horses. This is a riding stable, not an event stable.
