What Our Clients Say

Celeste Olckers
,,

Barry Taylor and Lorette Knowles-Taylor are life-savers and sanity-keepers. My horses are my family, and the care we receive at Farnham Stables is unparalleled in any arrangement I have previously known. So too are the Taylor’s understanding and support of all aspects of managing a professional equine operation while simultaneously maintaining a friendly and family-oriented atmosphere.

Great facilities, happy horses, the best staff and the most incredible coaches. Our Farnham Stables family is so very special. My happy place.

Jayne Hahn
,,

Both Barry and Lorette are not only passionate and phenomenal at what they do but have a genuine love and dedication towards every student’s growth. I am honored and blessed to have become a part of the Farnham Stables family.

Michelle Fleming
,,

I first came to Farnham Stables as a scared 1.10m rider, hoping just to see the finish and enjoy the sport again. Several years later, I successfully jumped my first World Cups, Derby and SA Champs. I have also learned horsemanship and management from the very best. In addition, Barry and Lorette have sourced suitable horses and have always been transparent in their dealings with me as a client. I hope to have the privilege to be here to for many years to come and pursue even bigger dreams in the future.

You not only learn to ride but learn how to be a horseman from the master himself. I am so lucky to be able to train daily with the BEST!
