"Super nice people that helped to match a horse to our needs. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks"     -  Tamara Semiklose

"I was very happy with my experience with Cardinal Riding Academy.  They have a wide selection of quality horses at an affordable price.  They were very honest and straight forward about the horses' strengths and weaknesses and I felt very confident with my purchase.  I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a horse or pony."               - Mary Von Werne

"We took Smokey to a show yesterday and he was FANTASTIC!  ...he jumped around like an old campaigner.  He pinned in every class except one...  He's been jumping scary stuff at home and jumps great out in the field.  He stood tied to the trailer quietly and then was ready to go in the ring without warm-up.

Please feel free to include me on your reference page. I'd be happy to tell people about Smokey (oh, and by the way, while he may have been dog-shy before, he totally ignores my pack of hounds.)"        - Allison Porter

"Cardinal Stables has amazing owners, there are not many barns you can trust 100%. I trust Beverly and Bobbie 100%. They tell it like it is, no sugar coating or leaving out important details. I just call them and let them know what I need and they get it for me, normally they already have it, or they find it. I have never had to return a horse or pony or had any problems. I have purchased ... from Cardinal Stables and when I decide I am ready for another horse or pony I will be calling on Cardinal Stables again."    Thanks for all you two do!"          -  Heidi Kovar

"Hi Bobbie

    Everyone fell madly in love with the ponies!! They are all so special in their own way, and really and truly exceeded our expectations.  They are so handsome, calm and dignified. He was super affectionate with my kids right away.  And, it goes without saying that Peanut is a truly special guy. He has so much presence in a very quiet way - it's hard to take your eyes off him!!  He is unbelievably beautiful and has just breathtaking movement(!).  Of course, Magic is absolutely adorable with a super fun and cute personality.  We think they are all perfect!"   -  Sabrina Rabbit -MD

 

 

 

"I just wanted to give you an update on how Ivy has settled in- WE LOVE HIM!!  He and my Olden. colt have become best buddies!!  Anyway, my daughter is loving Ivy and developing confidence and skill everyday.  He is the first one to greet us at the fence. As you said, he used to be a stinker about being caught, but now we can go right up to him with the halter and he almost puts it on himself. Thanks again for this wonderful pony...I might be giving you a call about another pony for my son.!!"  - Robin Dozier

"Feature got here and settled right in.  The kids all came and showered him with hugs.  I turned him out in the field and he went right to eating grass...He is a really easy going fellow. The kids rode him and he was good.  The perfect amount of laziness as you said :-). He is a real sweetie and the kids love him."      - Robin Dozier         MD

 

"My experience in buying a horse through Cardinal Riding Academy is that they were honest and prompt. They answered my emails about horses for sale quickly and honestly. They understood what I was looking for in a horse. They did not attempt to show me horses that were unsuitable for my needs. The horse we bought has worked out great."

"Joker is great. He is quite a character and makes us laugh at the goofy things he does!  I don't have any really good pictures right now but I will try to make it a point to get some and e-mail them to you.  Hope things are going well for you & your family.  Take care"               - Tracey

"They are both doing beautifully!  Nugget is the "cute" pony at the barn and everyone is captivated by Outlaw and his "fairy tale" look (there are no other white ponies at the barn).  We adore Outlaw and cannot get in enough hugs and kisses!"

"Our prince is doing beautifully! We are getting ready to have our barn Christmas party. Outlaw is going to be the Mouse King from The Nutcracker! :) (That is if I get his cape made)."

"Emma and Outlaw went on their first Junior Fox Hunt last weekend! They did beautifully and that day has become Emma's newest "best day of her life".

"We are madly, madly in love"     - Ashley

"I have been looking for a Morgan for quite a while and found A.J. on  the Dreamhorse website. I took a chance and  from the moment I made the first call, everything was handled by Bobbie and Cardinal Stables promptly and professionally. 

Bobbie spent a great deal of time with me when I came to see A.J. and answering all my questions.  She was very honest about his strengths and weaknesses, so we both could decide if he was a good match for me.  She even spent a tremendous amount of time and effort to make sure his registration papers were in order.  I've had A.J. home for three weeks and could not be happier.  He is everything that I wanted in a Morgan.  Thank you Bobbie and Cardinal Stables!"               - Elizabeth Strohman

"As first-time horse buyers, my husband and I really appreciated Bobbie and Beverly's honesty and expertise. Stonewall is the perfect horse for me--sane and level- headed, but with plenty of "go"... and all the beauty and personality of an Arabian.
We highly recommend Cardinal Stables and wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again."   - Amy and John Perez

"the babies are doing great, growing and very beautiful... Our farrier loves them"

"You guys can use us any time for a reference ... you were great to work with holding the horses for us during a death in the family. Also you were honest and helped us so much in horse basics with us never owning horses before."     - Hookie Riley

"P.J. is doing very well! I love him very much! I am calling him Pilot because of your farm where I found him... He did very well in his first hunt season...I have ridden him in some Hunter Pace events with the Sedgefield Hunt and Red Mountain Hounds Hunt. He took a first place at the Sedgefield Hunt. We are going to go to hunt school with the Sedgefield hunt because they work with you directly with the hounds. He seems to really enjoy the hunt though and you can tell he really listens for the hounds.
 He loves the trail rides and mostly loves to canter and trot on the trail."            - Kelly Brann
