The farm land is huge and the animals are all well behaved so even if you're scared, you won't be for long. We took the Girl Scout troop on an outing here and the girls loved it. Kadeem is really eager about introducing farm life to city kids and helping make the comfortable and knowledgeable. I loved the way he allowed them to interact with the animals in ways they would never be able to other places. He does not restrict the kids and uses everything as a learning opportunity. My daughter was upset we had to leave without the alpaca. We will definitely be returning again. They also do petting zoo and horse rides for parties. He was so nice to even walk with my daughter bc she was scared to ride. 10/10 I definitely recommend to anyone looking for an up close, personal. Memorable animal experience!

I can't say enough good things about my experience at IB Stables in Noblesville! A true gem of a…read morestable and historic treasure just 30 minutes north of Indianapolis. I am a beginner and have been taking lessons there since early Fall of '22, and I have been extremely impressed with everything so far. The lesson prices a very reasonable for all you receive, and the expertise available to you for all the services they offer is unparalleled. Likewise, I have enjoyed getting to know Iris and the rest of the family and spending time in a barn and stable that has so many decades of rich, family equestrian history. The walls in the original, wood paneled, office in the main part of the historic, century old barn, are lined with photographs of the champions bred, raised, and trained there over the years. You will not find anything like this anywhere near Indianapolis with this rich a history! If you are looking for a real working stable, this is the one. Sadly, farms, barns, and stables like this are going by the wayside due to urban expansion and changing needs. This grand old barn may not look like the newer stables with the fancy, newer looking trimmings, but she's magnificent for her age! They also have a large, wonderful, indoor riding area, which allows you to ride year round plus all the other amenities the other stables offer and more. They have the trust you can expect, the service you deserve and the experience you need, that will win you over. I wanted to take lessons from someone with lots of experience, since I wanted to learn all aspects of horses and horseback riding. I didn't know anything, but I didn't want to just show up, pay to ride a pre-saddled horse and go through the motions for an hour, and IB Stables provided exactly what I was looking for. Iris's family, along with her daughter Audra, who raises winning show horses, are the owners of the stable, are a constant presence during my lessons in the evenings. Iris raises wonderful, champion bred Doberman's and there is also a giant tom turkey who struts his stuff for all the chickens in the barn areas too! All they need now are some mini cows!! The first time I came to the stable to inquire about lessons, Iris, the owner, sat me down and asked me first, why I wanted to learn to ride, what previous experience I'd had and what I wanted to learn. This showed me that they care about ME and not just about taking my money, giving me a standard lesson, and sending me off till next week. They care about everyone who walks in the door that wants to learn to ride or board a horse or wants to use the other numerous, world-class, services they offer. That is why I chose to take my first ever lessons with them. I fun to arrive early and to watch some of the other lessons, which are mostly filled with younger kids. I have watched Iris during her lessons, and at times she can be very firm when giving instruction. Likewise, I too, have received that same firm instruction. But don't be too quick to criticize. You must remember that horses can be dangerous and weigh upwards of 1000+ lbs. Safety is always their number one concern. But, their horses are experienced lesson type horses, well-trained, patient, gentle. Every week I show up for lessons, I see the horses being cared for in ways I never thought horses needed! The ferries are there all the time, along with chiropractors and veterinarians etc. Iris and Audra are always making sure everything is attended too, and they do not skimp when it comes to the horses they own or are under their care. I hope this review helps, and I am truly grateful for the western style riding lessons I have received and love the feeling of family this stable brings. Thanks so much, Iris and family. I look forward to many more years of riding thanks to you.

Iris and Bill have been in the horse industry for over 30 years and have earned the respect of the top trainers in the horse world. I have had many horses from them and they were the absolute best horses I have ever had the experience of owning and riding. They are the most professional trainers I have met in the equine industry. They not only care for the horses but they care for every person that walks through the barn door. They have helped me not only reach my riding goals but my goals in life, they are family. If you are looking for a trainer or a safe, clean, and professional place to keep your horses this is the place for you!!! Thank you Snyders for everything!! I owe it all to you guys!

A person always needs extra patience with children and their usual lack of experience and Jeff was great. Jeff owns 90 acres and it has been in his family for 115 years. His trails cover a wide variety of terrain. We rode across grass fields, creeks and streams with just a little bit of water, some muddy areas, up and down some hilly areas deep in the woods with fallen leaves, cut through a pasture or two, and crossed a road here and there. A very nice ride. My horse, Ozzy, knew which way to go but despite following my granddaughters horse a few yards away he occasionally wanted to take the wrong fork in the trail or try for a shortcut so I got to use my riding experience and actually guide the horse. And a few times I wasn't paying enough attention in the beginning, be broke into a trot which was fun but made me pay more attention. I had good cell coverage all the way there to use GPS to find his place on the southwest side of Morgantown. I'm sure we will be coming back and I'll never remember how to get there :-)

I rode quite a bit many years ago. I had a service expectation in my mind for how things would go and unfortunately the team at this ranch did not deliver. On arrival, parking was not clearly marked (broken signs and no arrows to direct you). Once out of the car, there was no one to greet us or give next steps. We were told by visitors already waiting to step inside the barn to sign a waiver. Once inside, the staff member who wondered out of the dark handed the waiver to me and explained it. Yet she never said hello or introduced herself. It all felt very transactional or as if we weren't welcomed. I can only assume how many trail rides are provided in a day or week but the experience is still special to visitors. I would like to think they still remember this. My children were assigned horses (Cherokee and Widow) and given basic riding instructions from other staff members (they stated afterward the women providing them were not very warm). I was given a horse named Stitch that I did not enjoy or recommend to anyone who has never ridden before. He was headstrong and unfriendly. I can say: The 60 minute ride through the wooded trails was beautiful and very quiet. Our group totaled six so I guess I assumed there would be conversation from the trail lead but there was none. No water was provided or information about the land we were on. I was grateful for the instructor stopping before bigger hills to describe what was ahead and how to best handle it, it helped my kiddos, but I can't say as I would come to this place again. The horses looked thin and tired. Not to mention the barn bathroom was exactly what you'd expect: dusty dirty and rusty. Perhaps our expectations were too high? One big plus: the friendliness of my children's horses and the barn cats.
