What riders say about Helena stables

Summer Star Ranch

My friends and I stayed on the ranch for four nights. It was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. The grounds were beautiful; they had multiple cabins spread throughout the property which had the most breathtaking views of the Montana mountains and their happy, and healthy horses.

★★★★★ Madison, Aug 2023

Reining Horse Unlimited. Formerly known as Renee Pipinich Reining Horses.

A very amazing instructor who knows how to teach you the fundamentals of horse riding. Renee’s teaching instructions are clear and easy to understand. Knows so much about your horses abilities. Renee!s clinics are fun and the students are fun to learn with. Always a good time. Arena is the very best in Helena!

★★★★★ Deborah, Nov 2020

FernMary Ranch and Stables

I've never owned a Horse, but I know the Owners, and they are really great people who work hard to care for the Horses that are boarded with them.
