What riders say about Riverside stables

Trax Equestrian Center

Been volunteering here for just under a year. Great place, great people, and of course great horses. Volunteering here is the highlight of my week!

★★★★★ Cody, Dec 2021

Trinity Riding Center

My daughter started taking lessons from Miss Stephanie in June of 2023. She is an amazing instructor that has taught my daughter so much! She’s learning more than just how to ride, she has learned about all aspects of horsemanship and care of horses.

★★★★★ Melissa, Aug 2024

Rancho De Los Cielos

I’ve taken three lessons at Rancho de los Cielos so far, and I can’t recommend it enough! Jake makes learning easy, enjoyable, and comfortable. He really emphasizes building a connection with the horse and developing confidence before moving on to more advanced skills.
