Silver Star Stables... where a horse can be a horse and their humans can learn to be their compassionate, knowledgeable caregivers.
Our mission in providing horsemanship lessons is to prepare our students for ALL aspects of horse ownership in order to promote excellence in horse care. 

Silver Star Stables offers not only a safe and encouraging atmosphere in which to learn about horsemanship, riding and equine health care but also an amazing community of like-minded horse lovers who practice a wide variety of disciplines, providing you with exposure to a number of different options to explore.  We also hold an annual "Games Day" as well as other community events through which to make friends, socialize and share your love of horses with others!

Students are kept challenged but never asked to do something that makes them uncomfortable.Students may choose to ride English or Western and no commitment has to be made. You are free to try a little of each! Lessons can be private for more one-on-one attention or may be given in groups.
