what people are saying

"This has been the most amazing thing to have in our community.  What a loss it would be to lose it."

"I went here as a little girl and loved the summer camps and my lessons. I’m so saddened to hear Palatine Stables is closing and it makes me wonder what is worth prioritizing over this wonderful place? I made so many happy memories with beautiful animals."  

"My son was very involved at the stables as a youth. He is now a successful developer in California and is an avid polo player.  Please do not deny future generations who are not soccer players this avenue of passion."     

"The stable is a unique addition to our community that cannot be replaced. We don’t need more housing or commercial buildings in that particular location adjacent to Deer Grove forest preserve! I have fond memories of riding through the preserve after my lessons at the stable. Others should also be allowed to create those special memories."   

"From the minute I heard about the closing of the stables it made no logical sense to me whatsoever. My daughter, now grown, benefitted greatly from the stables.  These neighborhood stables are rare and special.  OBVIOUSLY some people without morals or scruples feel no remorse ruining this wonderful place.  Shame on them."

   "This place is great for our community. Please don't close it down."    

 "I’m not in the area anymore, but have so many amazing memories of Palatine Stables. It was where I learned to ride, had my first job, made some of my closest friends, and grew up. It plays an important role in the community and provides the opportunity for kids of all backgrounds to learn to ride." 

 "The stables was one of the offerings that attracted us to Palatine."  

"This was the biggest disgrace by the Palatine Park District. When will we see more quotes?" 

"This is an amazing place, please don't close!!!" 

"Benefits many residents and to my knowledge the residents were not consulted." 

"My dear friend’s adult special needs Adult daughter rides there at least once a week. It is the centerpiece of her life - her only time out all week!  Please reconsider!"
