Ashbrook Farm is truly an amazing place! Ashley goes above and beyond for her clients, and cares for all the horses like they are her own. There are endless opportunities for riders to improve and advance. The camaraderie at the barn is unmatched and creates such a fun atmosphere.

I first started riding with Ashley at Ashbrook in 2010, and rode with her for several years before my husband got stationed on the east coast which forced us to move. After several years of moving across the country and Europe, we decided to find our way back to Tucson. A huge part of that decision was so I could get back to the amazing program at Ashbrook. Ashbrook farm has the best program in Tucson for hunter/jumper riders who want to advance their knowledge and skills as well as have opportunities to compete regularly.

Ashbrook Farm is the most professional hunter-jumper training facility here in Tucson, AZ. My hunter has now grown beyond the level he should have been at 2 years ago! There is a consistent training plan each week for every horse and rider and the horses are cared for impeccably. It is a great atmosphere with lots of support from all the staff and customers. We have a lot of fun cheering each other on and attend many fun shows! I highly recommend Ashbrook to anyone wanting to improve their horse and riding or even wanting to start as a beginner.

My daughter grew up in the Ashbrook Farm program starting at the age of 7. She was taught the foundation of true horsemanship from the ground up. She had success from her first schooling show to National Medal Finals. She has gone on to work & ride with top show barns in FL & currently in CA. The foundation & dedication she learned at Ashbrook Farm has played a huge role in her success. From the “Barn Mom”, the trainers, riders & families are WONDERFUL! I still go to the shows & barn get togethers. It’s a fun supportive group of horse loving people that enjoy spending time together. When my daughter comes home she is welcomed with Open Arms. It is beautiful to watch her living her dreams… & it all started at Ashbrook Farm.

I have been with Ashbrook for over 7 years and it has been a wonderful life changing experience. I have always loved horses and I started riding when I was a kid but I never was able to dedicate the right time and resources until later in life. I now own two wonderful horses and I have been able to compete at a variety of venues in the adult hunters. Because of Ashley and her team of very knowledgeable horse women I have been able to achieve things I never imagined I could. Ashley is incredibly professional, she rides at the highest level (which is inspirational) and expects the best from her students. She is invested and committed in all of her clients journeys and takes her job extremely seriously. Hannah is a wonderful trainer, patient and kind with horses and people. The horses receive the best care and the barn is a peaceful place where horses are at the center of everything we do. We have a very special group of riders of all ages and we have a lot of fun together sharing our passion for horses. Whether you are looking to be competitive and show or take lessons I highly recommend Ashbrook farm.

Ashley, Hannah, Jessi, and all of the staff at Ashbrook are amazing. The barn feels like family, the quality of instruction is unmatched, and they take impeccable care of the horses. They’ve done an amazing job with my young horse. I’m so happy I found Ashbrook and I think my horse is just as happy with his new home.

Ashbrook farm is a stellar facility. My horse has the best care and amazing training here. In the year and a half that he has been here he has become a different horse - happy, calm and well trained. The atmosphere to learn and improve is fabulous. My barn mates are the best and Ashley Stannard is a really talented and amazing trainer who is always inspiring me to become better.

I love riding at Ashbrook Farm under Ashley's direction. She has helped me improve so much as a rider over the last 2 years. I also love my barn mates!
