It depends what you want to say. I have been riding all the horses in this stable would indicate that you have been riding each of them on a regular, ongoing basis. I have ridden all the horses in this stable would indicate that you have ridden each horse at least once.

For the first sentence, I assume that you are the stable boy, and regularly exercise all the horses. And you continue to do that.
For the second sentence, you are a regular visitor to the stable. You come in and pick a horse to ride. At this point in time, there is not any horse in the stable that you did not ride at some time in the past.
