What riders say about Raleigh stables
My friend and I went out on a private ride and had a wonderful experience. Our trail guide, Emma, was welcoming and knowledgable and clearly knows and loves all of the horses. Our horses, Darlene and Fabio, were gorgeous and sweet and very patient with us, as it's been a long time since either of us have ridden.
My son has been taking horseback riding lessons. He loves it. He has a fairly extreme case of ADHD and this has been huge for him. The people who run it are some of the coolest people you will ever meet and they really are helping people. The horses are super friendly too.
Very pleased with camp. The counselors are teen girls and friendly but in charge. The kids spent time learning about horses and care, learned to saddle and bridle, learned riding positions, and even bareback riding. The location is ready to get to, the grounds are well organized and clean.
