About Us

Double R Stables is owned and run by the Porter Family

Horses of course rule at Double R Stables here in Waxahaw, North Carolina , but we wanted to take a moment to introduce you to the two-legged partners that make the farm such a great place… Randy, Rhonda, Fermin, and recently Kim and Shannon.

Randy and Rhonda and their kids, Ashley and Luke are the Porter family. Ashley is off in college these days, but you may see her around the farm on break. Luke can be found being a typical teen. They took this 44-acre farm and completely renovated it, turning older outbuildings into large, comfortable barns with all the amenities any horse or human could want. And they continue to work and improve the place, always looking for new things to add in order to give their boarders unsurpassed service and facilities. If you have a wish, the Porters will do their very best to fulfill it if possible!

Randy Porter

Owner

Randy can usually be found 4-wheeling around the property looking for things that need to be fixed or cleaned, or checking to be sure the horses are all looking good. He builds stalls, fences, jumps, clears woods to add more pasture and much more ... he's always working!

Rhonda Porter

Owner

Rhonda gives Double R the classy, yet homey touch with her flowers planted and hanging through-out and her decorative touches in the lounges. She also is the farm administrator and keeps the boarders completely up-to-date with her frequent status updates on Facebook, emails, calendar events and postings on the barn message boards.

Fermin Aguilar

Stable Hand

Fermin, our long time employee and friend! His family is a great part of the success of the Double R. You can occasionally see his son Caesar helping out or may find his daughter Leslie riding in the ring. Even Norma (his wife) comes out to visit and support his efforts at our family functions. Fermin keep our stalls exceptionally clean and full of shavings and clean water...for the love of our lives, our horses! He feeds and checks the horses daily. You can be sure to find Fermin on schedule routinely every day!
