What riders say about Truckee stables

Piping Rock Equestrian Center

While staying for a few days in Tahoe, our friends really wanted to try horseback riding and Piping Rock was close and has great reviews. Now I haven’t ridden a horse since grade school camp but I didn’t show any fear and just jumped right on.

★★★★★ Michael, Oct 2023

Tahoe Donner Equestrian Center

The staff is super friendly and the horses are nice. They have trails and an arena.
