Sign up now for Holiday Leases-
Available for current Star Ridge Stables students
All Star ridge stables lessons horses and ponies are available

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the barn, every horse was waiting for the children to come to the farm.
The ponies and horses had been leased for the week, by parents who didn’t want to see their child’s eyes weep.
Just imagine the light in their eyes and big smiles on their faces when you tell them Honey, Destiny or Spirit is theirs to put through the paces.
Let them come for a week or maybe for two. Your child won’t be the only one happy, the horses will be too!
Come with a smile, apples, brushes, and hay. Then listen to your child’s giggles and the horse’s big neigh.

Lease day(s) options November 22 – 26, 2023,
December 17, 2023 – January 2, 2024

Leased horse/pony is available for a four(4) hour time block on each lease day. Ask Stella for more details

Life lessons

- When my instructor repeats to me: ′′Straighten your shoulders and open your chest!” He’s not just teaching me how to stand up. He's teaching me that in life we should always walk straight and face problems head on.

- When my instructor asks me to lower my legs and keep them close to the horse, he teaches me that in life we do not allow distractions and that little is enough to deviate from his path.

- When my instructor tells me "Too much hand, don't hang on to the reins! "He teaches me to give and not to take, with the greatest respect of others.

- When he yells and repeats endlessly: "Look forward in the direction you want to go!” He teaches me the importance of setting goals and never losing sight of them to achieve them.

- When I ask to move up or do more and my instructor says I'm not ready, he teaches me that in life you must always respect your rhythm and never skip the steps.

- When I fall and get back up, I learn that there are always setbacks, times when we back up, but the important thing is to get up more determined than before.

- If I hold my breath during a ride and he jokingly tells me "breathe! You are purple!” I understand that you have to let your emotions flow in order to get rid of them.

- When at the end of the course I am happy with the work done and my instructor says to me′ ′Well done, thank your teacher′′ I know he is not referring to himself but to my horse.

- Now you, you who are watching a rider pass in the saddle, keep saying that riding is not a sport because it is the horse that does everything. I agree. Horse riding is not a sport. It is a life lesson.

Halloween costumes - everyone at the party voted. Parents could not vote for their own kid. No trainers were allowed to vote. All participants did receive votes. In no particular order the top 3 were. Beau and the Beast, The headless horseman and Scooby Doo and the mystery bus.
Others work great as well Jedis, Cruella hippies, horse and riders from battle, even the devil
(By the way that is a really pumpkin on the headless horseman. She made it herself and her helmet is on under the pumpkin.)
