  • "Phoebe is an extraordinary rider and trainer who truly loves horses and her students. She creates a nourishing and positive environment for people at all levels. The grounds, rustic stables, arenas and other facilities are beautiful but without pretention so visitors are comfortable. Best overall trainer and stables in the area. Highly recommended."

    Karl W.

  • "Lovely facility, excellent training and quality care. What’s not to like? Phoebe is a very experienced and insightful trainer, whether you are looking to show or just improve and enjoy riding. She will encourage and support, not demand or berate. In addition to Phoebe’s expertise, Suzanne, Felecia and Randy are the best back up support ever. In short, just a great place for horses and riders both."

  • "My daughter loves to come to Phoebe’s barn. The other kids and the helpers are super friendly, the horses in great shape and each one with great temper, the barn is immaculate. And Phoebe is an amazing instructor with the patience of an angel but very thorough in teaching proper posture and technique. My daughter has improved a lot in only a couple months."

  • "Oh my, I cannot express my thanks to Phoebe and her group of terrific ladies. My granddaughters both ages 7 and nine, and myself rode for the first time. We are all looking forward to our next visit. What a beautiful window that opened up when we were lucky enough to find these wonderful people."

  • "Phoebe and her awesome barn staff have kept my 30 year old horse looking healthy and very happy. She was able to get me over a 17 year old phobia of jumping. I am now comfortable doing a course. The atmosphere in and out of the ring is positive and fun. Being on Wood Rd gives plenty of opportunities to ride off the property safely."

  • "I've ridden with Phoebe for going on 2 years, and lease a wonderful gelding from her. Her lessons are informative and fun. She meets all her students at their riding ability, challenging them but not "pushing". I have ridden most of her school horses as well, and they are all solid, and safe. When a student has problems understanding a concept, Phoebe will get right on the horse and figure out how to explain it better."

  • "I have been riding at Phoebe Lawson Stables for about a year now and it has been a joy. Phoebe is wonderful as is every one who works at the barn. The horses are well-cared for and lovely, and the barn is also well-maintained. Phoebe is a great trainer, I never walk away from a lesson without having learned something - I highly recommend Phoebe Lawson whether you are just starting out or an advanced rider."

    Margaret B.

  • "I love phoebe Lawson Stables! Not only do I greatly appreciate the specialized attention during lessons and shows, all the staff and other riders are a joy to work with. From the day I started riding to today, I’ve loved every moment and I absolutely love all the horses at this barn! Care for the horses in this barn is a priority, along with becoming the best rider you can be, I would definitely recommend this barn to anyone looking to either start their riding career or advance in it"

    Wyette F.

  • "I have boarded in or visited a number of barns in the Alpharetta area and my son has seen them all. When I took him and the family to Phoebe's he said it was the cleanest and prettiest barn I'd ever shown him- so clean it didn't even make my grandson sneeze! And that's a first. The instruction and care are first rate. Friendly and helpful people, both boarders and staff. My horse and I are very happy here. Highly recommend!"

    Cynthia L.

  • "While searching for a trainer, my daughter (12 y/o) took it upon herself to call every stable in the area provided by a local tack shop to speak with the owner/trainer. Based on her conversations with Phoebe, she was convinced that is where she wanted to be! We have been taking lessons at PLS for over a year and seen tremendous improvement in our daughter’s skills. The group there takes excellent care of the animals, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and value is tremendous. Whether you are new to the equestrian world, or looking to advance to the next level, I would highly recommend Phoebe and her team regardless of age/experience!"

    Nick H.

  • "I have been riding at Phoebe Lawson Stables for almost 3 years and I have loved every second of it! In my second year of riding, Phoebe found a horse for me. She knew he would fit my needs and help me improve. After about 8 months of leasing him we bought him and im so thankful that phoebe brought him into my life. Although at first i was nervous to do a cross rail with him, he and phoebe did so much to help me. I went to showing in the cross rails to showing in the 12-14 eq and doing the 2’6 or 2’9 pre-children’s in under 6 months! Phoebe has taught me so much and I can’t express how thankful I am to have her as my trainer. She has also given me the chance to train one of her ponies and i am so pleased and thankful to have given that opportunity. She cares about each and every horse and knows what’s right for them, as well as her workers. If you are looking for a place to ride, I definitely recommend Phoebe Lawson Stables!"

  • "I have worked with Phoebe for 36 years. She has personally shown at the top levels in the hunters with great success. Phoebe has an excellent eye for a champion horse, and has developed many while training her daughter from leadline to indoors and Devon in the Junior Hunters. She is an excellent equitation trainer, exemplified by Elsbeth winning the Equitation Final at Pony Finals out of 365 competitors. She is a patient, step by step trainer who can help you achieve your goals and have fun riding also. High quality, ethical, and kind are some of Phoebe's strongest traits. She really cares about teaching her students, and bends over backwards to help them learn and achieve. Phoebe has a good foundation in basic dressage and in her years of training with Katie Monahan Prudent she had some experience riding jumpers."

  • "An outstanding instructor for all ages, who knows more than how to develop a great rider; Ms Lawson develops all-around lifelong horsewomen and horsemen. I speak from a 40-year history with Ms. Lawson. I am still riding, still hunting, and am still working with horses. Ms Lawson has developed riders from beginners all the way to A Circuit National Champions. Theses aren't just riders; they are much more - they are Equestrians - and that's because of what they have learned from Ms. Lawson. Ms. Lawson is unique among trainers: not only can she coach a great ride, but she is trained to coach the psychological side of elite level competition. The horses at PL Stables are well cared for, well trained for their purpose, and safe. Ms. Lawson has a discerning eye for finding the right horse for purchase so riders can achieve their long-term aspirations. The stables and pastures are tidy, spotless, and suited for the horses. The training facility is picturesque; it is set in a park with miles of trails for riding off-property, near Milton, Ga, near Alpharetta, convenient to Atlanta. If you want to become or develop a lifelong horsewoman or man, I can personally recommend Phoebe Lawson, and her facility to you."
