Red Fern Riding Center located at Shelby Trails Park
Whether it was your first time on a horse or you’d been riding for years, they took the time to teach and explain everything clearly and kindly.
This is a great opportunity if you are a first time rider the Horses were very patient and took good care of all of us.
They helped all of us beginner riders enjoy ourselves and even took the time to get some great pictures of us on the horses!
Great experience for beginners, they teach you the basics and give you guidance when the horses are a little more mischievous.
If you have never rode a horse before this would be a fantastic first experience.
We were a small group with little to no experience but Emily and Drew were beyond accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable and made us all feel comfortable.
The stable's website says so too.
Wranglers Riding Stables (Rocking U Riding Stables)
This place was awesome for first time riders, the staff was nice and knowledgeable, and the horse were all mostly well behaved.
They go at your pace when teaching, especially if you're a nervous first-time rider.
Gentle but still has some get up and go, great guy for a beginner!

Beginner checklist
- Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Flat sneakers can slip through a stirrup, and shorts let the saddle rub.
- Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
- Tell them you are new. It gets you the right horse and the right pace.
