Our History: Our instructors come from all over the country, bringing a variety of experiences and knowledge to the table. We offer a positive learning experience with an emphasis on safe and fun education. Whitney Weston, our head trainer and instructor, grew up with a background in the United States Pony Club, which encourages a safe and organized approach to horses. She teaches her assistant in
sturctors to have the same patience, positivity, and dedication to their students as she does. Our Location: We are the only riding school just 5 minutes from downtown Southern Pines and area schools as well as 5 minutes from the entrance of Fort Bragg. We also have riding access to 3000 miles of trails on the Walthur Moss Foundation and the 400 miles in the Wheymouth Woods. Showing is easy with many shows locally the whole family can attend! Our Horses: The tradition of hairy and bratty school horses doesn't continue here! They all have extensive experience as competitive show horses, who have a love for teaching student riders. They are kept in the healthiest and happiest condition. We will find the perfect horse to fit your needs and personality. Check out our horses! Our Students: We currently have students from 4 years to 70! If you are healthy and love horses, this is the place for you. No matter what your horse experience, goals, or needs, we are here to help you learn. You may use your own horse or take lessons on one of our experienced and gentle lesson horses. Our instructors are equipped to teach beginner basics all the way through the upper levels. Our program: We don't just teach riding, but also grooming, tacking, and horse care. Our instructors have a combined experience of several decades, and we love to share our experiences with you! We are happy to help you create a lesson plan. Some students prefer weekly lessons, others bi-weekly, and still others who take 3-4 lessons a week. Lessons are held during the day, afternoons, and even nights and weekends.
