Greenfield Stables Celebrates Twenty-Plus Years of Operation

Located at 1500 County Road 50 in Tiffin, Greenfield Stables is a horse lover's dream. With over twenty- five years’ experience and owners who live on site, Susie Dunn and Gail Kingseed are making dreams come true with their family-owned facility. They have had horses for 34 years and it all started when Gail joined 4H. She loved it and then went on to show at Open shows with Beth Magrum and then Quarter Horse shows with Liz Flohr. She has been a 4H advisor for 15 years and loves to help kids fulfill their horse dreams! Around 2002 Kurt and Susie purchased the horse farm they now call Greenfield Stables and have been running a boarding barn ever since.

Greenfield Stables offers boarding, training, and riding instruction to all ages as well as any skill level. When you start your adventure at Greenfield Stables, don’t expect to just learn to ride but much more. You will learn about safety around horses, care of horses, care and use of tack; you will learn to be a horse person, not just a rider.
