| I love Equine Country shows it so close and we love the way it's planed out. And the tack shop is so wonderful I can find all kinds of stuff I need and the ponys are adorable! It is a great place you should show here if you're looking for a good show. | CC Daniels | July 26, 2008 |

| I loved all the shows I went to last show season(2007) and we all had a blast! My horse is more relaxed and ready to show at Equine Country than anywhere else we show! The shows are run wonderfully and the staff is very helpful! I'm looking very forward to this coming season and I'm bringing the crew from our stable! See you in March! | Madison Brown, Little River, SC | December 28, 2007 |
| Hi there! I am a friend and former client of Judy Dore. You have one of the best teaching with you. I miss her and Gunner! | Terri Hichborn, Waterville ME | December 11, 2007 |
| I came to one of your summer camps and I fell in love with all your horses! The camp was very exciting and we always had something to do. I learned allot about how to take proper care of a horse. I've been begging for a horse for along time. Thanks! | Holly, Camp Lejeune, NC | October 19, 2007 |
| A big THANK YOU to all of the Equine Country staff and boarders for making it's first EDCTSA show a success. The facility is fantastic and the footing in the arenas is great too. Thanks again for all your support and hard work! | Jennifer Stone, Richlands, NC | October 11, 2007 |
| Equine Country is such a beautiful place to show! Mt trainer and I attended the August Hunter/Jumper show and loved it. We both even got grand champion in our separate divisions! We'll be back October 13th for the next show and we hope to do as well. Your shows are awesome and in a great atmosphere! | Madison, Little River, SC | October 8, 2007 |
| Our stay at Equine Country was nice. We enjoyed the quietness. We also enjoyed talking with Keith and Janet. Also watching Billy Bob on his horse. Our stay was bittersweet as we were there to tell my son goodbye before he left for Iraq. He plans on staying at Equine Country when his girlfreind visits on his return. | Diana Iverson, Flanagan IL | September 27 |
| A special thanks to Equine Country USA... I am glad that I am able to ride in your youth gaming shows... I plan to ride and be at every show!!! | Crystal Ramsey, Wallace N.C | August 31, 2007 |
| My family enjoyed our stay at your facility. It was neat, quiet, and the rodeos were both different and interesting. We are definitely planning to come back when the biting flies aren't active so we can explore the riding trails. We want to check out the camping facilities next time. | Anita Owens, Salemburg, NC | July 14, 2007 |
| We really enjoyed our stay at the ranch and being able to have our small dog with us. We visit our Marine family now and then and will try to stay with you folks again. I love horses and have owned several in my long life. Thanks for an enjoyable and relaxing visit. | Mel and Sandie Pinkston, Clarkesville, Ga | July 9, 2007 |
| I come out to every game show. It is the best! | Bradley Morales, Jacksonville, NC | July 1, 2007 |
| Had never been to Equine Country before but had heard plenty about it. Went out for a drive Sat, June 16 and meandered down that way - ended up spending about 3 1/2 hours there watching the racing and spending time around the horses. Great time! It won't be my last visit, I assure you. Thanks!! | Diane Shultz, Jacksonville, NC | June 19, 2007 |
| Hey everyone my recent trail ride at equine country was awesome!!!! me and my friends loved it!!!! I've never had so much fun in my life!! If you love horses . . . this is the place for you folks!!! beautiful scenery and awesome trail rides!!! i loved it thank you equine country!!!! | Hannah Custy, Hubert, NC | May 13, 2007 |
| I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all involved in the Extreme Trail Challenge I participated in yesterday, April 7th at your facility. It was the first I’ve ever done and it was so much fun, I plan on doing the others you have planned. It was a nice break from all my dressage and jumping work, yet I didn’t feel out of place there as it seems all are welcome no matter what discipline they ride. Hooray to you for achieving that! I really like my horse to be well rounded and to enjoy life. We really enjoyed the pleasant and friendly atmosphere along with a nice clean facility. Keep up the great work and see you again soon. | Robin Ainsworth, Newport, NC | April 9, 2007 |
| I love equine country. I went there for summer camp it was the best experience ever. I hope that one day I can get a horse of my own and go to equine country for lessons. This is the best place ever!!!!! | Alicia, Jacksonville, NC | January 20, 2007 |
| I am looking forward to coming to some of your game shows and turn and burn Tuesdays! I sold my horse to someone that is boarding him there, and that's how I found out about ya'll, I love your place, and will be coming back to visit and show very soon! | Amelia Efland, Efland, NC | December 16, 2006 |
| I take horseback ridding lessons at Equine Country and it rocks!!!! My trainer is the best!!! The horses are fab!!! When I am not ridding I am thinking about ridding and the horses!!! The summer camp was so good an also at the summer camp I made a bunch of friends and i learned to ride before I took lessons!!! People think horse are mean and scary but the horse at equine country are so nice and calm!!! Well that's all I have to say about that wonderful stable!!!! :) | Kayla Kimble, Jacksonville, NC | November 12, 2006 |
| I've always loved Equine Country--it's absolutely gorgeous! The barn is spectacular, the store is always fun, everything is very clean and neat, and everyone is so friendly! I really got to know the riding facilities this year with the Sizzlin' Summer Series and I love those, too! This place is pretty much perfect. Thank you to everyone who puts so much work into making EC the fabulous place it is and thanks to everyone who worked so hard putting this summer's shows together! They were the best I went to, definitely this summer, and quite likely out of all the shows I've done, period! Thank you! | Cassie Smith, Hubert, NC | August 23, 2006 |
| I just want to take a minute to say THANK YOU for doing such a fabulous job on the summer sizzlin' series hunter/jumper shows!! They have been the best well done shows we have experienced in a long time! The judges were class acts, the ring was perfect each time, even after rain! The atmosphere was family friendly, supportive, and incredibly positive for showing! The ribbons are some of the best out there, not to mention the final awards! We found old friends, made new friends and will forever treasure 2006 summer's experience. Thanks again to ALL that made these shows the very best! Looking forward to many more! | Teri Smith, Hubert, NC | August 13, 2006 |
| I have visited and showed out at Equine Country many a times, and by far, it's the best facility I have visited. Their gaming shows are awesome along with their clinics and other association shows such as NBHA, Tarheel Horseman's Assoc. and DC Western Pro BRA shows that they host. You won't find a more organized and up to standards place as good as Equine Country is. Many thanks to the excellent staff such as Janette and Cindy for keeping us wild child's under control! LOL! | Dena (aka cupstarider), Richlands, NC | August 4, 2006 |
| In February I spent a couple of weeks with my kids, 1 and 3, in a cabin at Equine Country. We were in the area to visit my husband while he trained at MCAS New River. I can't say enough how nice it was to stay at EC for an extended period! The entire facility is beautiful, the cabins are great, and the staff is wonderful. Janette and Cindy went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel at home and it was a real blessing to have their help... traveling alone for a few weeks with little ones presents a set of challenges, and they made it a lot easier for me! We were able to watch lessons and shows, play on the playground, take walks, feed ducks, and more, and were surely much more comfortable than we would have been in a hotel! | Amy Caldwell, Corinth, Maine | July 4, 2006 |
| We enjoyed our stay in the cabin so much. It was very quiet and cozy and the horses are absolutely beautiful. It was like staying at a ranch. We will be back! Thank you for the great hospitality. | Wanda Burleson | June 12, 2006 |
| I have started taking riding lessons at Equine Country with an instructor named Amy. She is awesome. I have never learned so much in one hour then I did with her. Thank you so much!! | Gretchen | June 12, 2006 |
| We just stayed for my Granddaughter to be able to visit with her Dad at Camp Lejeune- she is 8 and had the best time watching the horses, fishing, on the playground, and just enjoying the beautiful grounds. | Kathy Roye, Amory, MS | May 30, 2006 |
| Hi, it's me! Ii just have to say that Equine Country USA has the perfect horse show grounds. In the last show I was in I did very well. Every rider rode safe because of the awesome staff a personal! | Amanda Owens, Jacksonville, N.C. | May 13, 2006 |
| Equine Country is a wonderful and exciting place. I went there a few times and they made feel so excited. THANK YOU! | Nannah Custy, Hubert, NC | April 30, 2006 |
| Hi! I love your gaming shows. I come to all the youth ones to ride in them. I just wanted to tell you guys what a great job your doing with equine country. I love it there | Christina Fritz, Hampsted, NC | April 26, 2006 |
| We stayed with you guys back in March 06, and we loved it. Your cabins are so beautiful and we loved our stay with you. We have friends at Camp Lejeune, and whenever we visit them, we will stay with you. Thanks for a wonderful stay. | Ernest & Vicki Nelson, Gaston, SC | April 24, 2006 |
| Hi! I love your place. I do not live in Jacksonville yet but will be living there VERY soon. I have a saddle winning pony. I will be looking for a place to board her up there. Or if someone already took her i will be hoping to be boarding a speed horse up there. I will be moving in August or September. Love your barn! God Bless! | Gabriella Walker, Naples, Florida | April 13, 2006 |
| Equine Country is my second home! I have been to about four other barns, and none of them even compare to Equine Country. The scenery there is gorgeous, the horses are very well taken care of and are the sweetest temperamental horses you will find. The staff there just wants you to have a good time and keeps you relaxed. They want to make your experience at Equine Country one of the best experiences of your life, and that's just what they do. There is no other barn that i would rather be at than Equine Country!!!! Thank you everyone who has made my experience at Equine Country the best experience of my life, and I look forward to having many good times with all of you!!! | Taylor Aubuchon, Jacksonville N.C. | March 19, 2006 |
| We had a wonderful time at Equine Country! We stayed at a cabin and took a trail ride. I couldn't get over how clean the barn was! The horses were very well taken care of & the staff was nice. I highly recommend it for all horse lovers. | Theresa McGrath, Baltimore, MD | March 17, 2006 |
| Equine country is a beautiful, peaceful place. A lot of my friends go there and I show there often. The staff is very nice and the land is beautiful and clean. The horses all seem so happy to be there and I enjoy hanging out with my friends there too. | Schifra Drew, Jacksonville, North Carolina | March 7, 2006 |
| I love equine country! I have grown to love this place. I ride once a week every week, and the horses are friendly and caring. I have many friends who come here too. So, equine country is like my second home! | Amanda Owens | March 4, 2006 |
| I am just writing to say that we were in the area just for the weekend and wanted something to do close by with my Six year old son and a friends Seven year old daughter. We decided to check out the trail ride. It was great. My son who had seen horses before but never been on anything bigger than a miniature pony and his friend who had never seen a horse close up before loved it. Thank you for giving us something to take back and talk about from our short vacation. We hope to come back again during our future visits to the area. | Lynn Craig, East Orange, Vermont | February 25, 2006 |
| When people ask me about Equine Country I immediately tell them that it is a wonderful place and everyone that I have encountered that has been there has loved it. Equine Country has beautiful scenery. If you don't believe me just go there. The grass is the greenest grass that is in Jacksonville. They always seem to make you feel right at home. And if you go there on holidays they set the scenery up for that certain holiday. It makes you feel special. The cabins at Equine Country are well established. They have that feeling that makes you feel a mixture of home, nature,and yet makes you feel like you came to the best possible place ever where everybody will meet your needs. To top all this off there are wonderful people every single place you look. Especially in the general store where there are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Their names are Janet and Cindy. I know Equine is the place to be it is in fact the place where my friends and I always hang out. There is everything from a majestic beautiful environment to wonderful cabins to friendly people. There is in fact one thing I forgot to mention there is a fantastic riding instructor name Casey at Equine Country that if I can so is so great that she improved even my horrible riding. | Jessica, North Carolina | February 17, 2006 |
| The shows are a lot of fun for the whole family, and my children just started riding lessons at Equine Country. Everyone is so nice and very helpful, and the general store is great. We love this place! | Melissa, Jacksonville, NC | February 17, 2006 |
| I had such an enjoyable experience! It is definitely something I'd like to do again! There is a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much! | Kim, Aurora, NC | February 6, 2006 |
| A wonderful place to stay if you are looking for peace and quite. My boyfriend is stationed at the Camp Lejeune Marine base and Equine Country was an excellent substitute to a hotel. Everyone was so nice and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. I look forward to visiting again soon. | Kristy Hart, Chambersburg, PA | January 31, 2006 |
| I always come to my lessons once every week. Their are so many nice and friendly people here at equine country and the instructors are that bad either (Casey)! | Amanda Owens, Jacksonville, NC | January 23, 2006 |
| Had a great time!! Thanks | Lorrie Franklin, Aurora, NC | January 20, 2006 |

| We have had our horses Outlaw & Ginger at this facility for over a year now. By far one of the friendliest and most professional staffs that I've encountered. Especially Cindy working hard in the General store. She always has a pleasant smile and kind word for you everyday. |

| I have boarded my horse Amareka at Equine Country USA for about one year and I can only say this: What an outstanding facility and staff, located in some of the most beautiful surroundings North Carolina has to offer!!! Never has anyone taken better care of my horse's needs with such professionalism and devotion! Every time I was at EC, it was like a mini-vacation for myself and my horse. Whether saddling up your horse for a ride, exchanging horsey experiences, or just taking a break on the comfortable rocking chairs in front of the general store, people were *always* kind and friendly. I wish there was an Equine Country USA run by Janette in every township of NC!!! I can only highly recommend Equine Country USA to every one I meet -and- I will be back :-) Renee and Amareka. |
