  I had the pleasure of spending two weeks with Century Mills Stables at WEC Ocala. The lease horses were out of this world and I even won a class!! The trainers were not only knowledgeable and patient, but left me with “homework” to work on with my own horse at home. The prices are more than fair for the high quality horses - both sale and lease. I have also spent a day riding at the Massachusetts stables. I highly recommend this top notch facility. If you are looking to lease or buy this is the place to go!

  I joined Century Mill Stables in 2005 as a complete novice to horseback riding. Thanks to the guidance of owner Jai, by 2006, I was paired with the perfect horse, who remains my partner to this day! The grounds are beautiful, offering both indoor and outdoor rings located in a tranquil forest setting. The trainers are exceptional, striking the ideal balance between support and motivation, propelling me to achieve more than I ever dreamed possible. This winter, I took advantage of the opportunity to train at the newly expanded CMS Stables in Ocala, FL, alongside my new dressage horse. The experience was truly extraordinary, allowing me to advance my riding in an idyllic setting and take advantage of the warm Florida weather. Ocala also offers an amazing opportunity to participate at WEC, a truly world-class competition venue. Whether you are looking to compete, advance your skills or pleasure ride, Century Mill Stables is the perfect pick!

  Very nice stable with friendly knowledgeable staff. The horses and ponies are all well maintained in a unique pastoral setting. I had the opportunity to test ride horses in both a ring and trail areas. I highly recommend this stable to anyone looking to take lessons or purchase a horse.

  My Daughter and I have been with CMS for almost 6 years now. Over the years with their expert instruction and guidance, we are not just riding students anymore, but made our dream of owning our own horse a reality. Beautiful and well maintained farm and facility with indoor and large outdoor ring. Fun courses and jumps in both, which are frequently refreshed to keep both horse and rider continuously learning and engaged. Whether you want to ride for pleasure, or dream to show at A rated shows, this is the place. Lots of friendly, welcoming clients plus an AMAZING herd of gorgeous, sweet horses topped of with an AMAZING staff makes this the best equestrian facility ever!♡

  CMS is a great place to ride. Jai, Becky and Liz are focused on taking amazing care of the horses and care deeply for their clients. The barn atmosphere is laidback and fun - focusing on great riding and caring for the horses. I highly recommend CMS if you are looking to start riding or compete it the Hunter Jumper circuit.

  I was a student for a couple years, but as time went on, the instruction got poorer. Liz tended to be more focused on her phone than the students during our lessons.Eventually, between work and my budget I determined I needed to take a break. When I tried to do so I was wrapped up in a mess of BS with Liz. I had a number of make up lessons from when the barn was away at shows and couldn't find an instructor to cover lessons (they require lesson payment up front at the start of the month, regardless of if their instructors will be there or not). Those were never made up as I had to give "official notice" to pause my weekly lessons due to my work schedule. I was told that if I wasn't enrolled in their monthly lesson program, then I was not due to receive my makeup lessons.As a result, I paid for a month of lessons (on top of my outstanding makeups!) that I couldn't take due to my travel schedule for work as I was told I had to pay for them and could always make them up (with multiple makeup lessons already outstanding). Then I was told I could not schedule these makeup lessons unless I was still making monthly payments.I work full time and travel regularly for my job. Between my work schedule and their show schedule it was impossible to make up lessons as it was, forget about paying $300 a month to hope I would get 1 or 2 makeups in a month when I had 5 or 6 still outstanding!I understand needing to have an active show schedule as I was a AA circuit rider myself in younger years, but you need to have respect for your adult riders too. In the end, I needed to take a break due to my work and would have returned if it hadn't been for the unscrupulous business practices and lack of customer service shown by Liz and Century Mills.Instead, I'm a former client who will never return, despite being a lifelong equestrian. When my schedule allowed I joined another farm and remain swindled out of hundreds of dollars by this farm.

  I was just referred to Century Mill Stables by a current member and I must say that I am highly impressed by the professionalism and integrity of the staff as well as the impeccable maintenance of the horses and facilities. The individuals who I have spoken with have been very informative and helpful. I highly recommend Century Mill Stables to anyone interested in equestrian training.

  I have had nothing but truly great experiences at Century Mill. Their facility is well managed and every detail is accounted for. There are lessons and training programs available to all level riders from the highly competitive to the first time rider. The horses at CMS are happy, healthy, and safe. I have been a student at Century Mill for almost two years now and have seen tremendous improvements to my riding as well as horsemanship. Their exemplary training has brought my riding to a new level and helped me accomplish many of my goals in the show ring.

  I've been riding at CMS for almost 5 years now and love it! The trainers are awesome at what they do and they are great people! The staff is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and they are obviously passionate about providing top notch horse care. The overall atmosphere at CMS is truly warm, inviting and supportive. Parents, young kids, older kids and adult riders all seem to genuinely enjoy each others company. It's so great to be part of such a supportive and FUN barn family. Oh, and the horses!? They are delightful! There is a wide variety of horses and ponies to suit all riding levels ... I'm VERY partial to Prince! :)
