What riders say about Rocky Point stables

Desperado Horse Farm

My wife and I had a wonderful time riding today with Chris. Chris is a fascinating person to talk to and is willing to take the time and teach even a first time rider such as myself how to control the horse, build confidence and have a great time. I've definitely found a new interest and will be going back again.

We love riding at Clover Leaf Ranch! Alex is a phenomanal teacher. She sees not only obvious issues but also the small details that level up your riding and horsemanship. The horses are wonderful and we have several favorites! It is a joy to be a part of Clover Leaf Ranch!

River Landing Stables

My daughter’s been riding at River Landing for 4-5 years now and we’ve been so pleased with the trainers, horses, and flexibility to schedule lessons. Everyone there has become our barn family because we’ve been there so long.
