I started coming to Flying M about five years ago, initially to work in exchange for riding time. Since then, the stables have become a nostalgic sanctuary (I was raised on a farm), where I can ride the trails either alone or with my newfound friends, enjoy swimming in the river with my horse, or cantering through open fields. Everyone here is friendly, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth ~ totally unpretentious! Horses are well cared for and treated kindly and respectfully. I have learned SO much from the owner and trainers ~ and look forward every day to spending time with my barn buddies and my beautiful thoroughbred. Lisa Risser, the owner, has become a respected and admired friend and is a constant source of information and advice. I absolutely love these stables, the horses, and the people I have met here. read more
