Red Fern Riding Center located at Shelby Trails Park
Update: (June 27, 2026) I became a member of Red Fern Riding Center and have taken weekly lessons that last couple of months.
The stable's website says so too.
My wife originally wanted a lesson but didn’t need one- she just wanted to ride so one of the owners kindly took her out to the pastures and into the BEAUTIFUL woods!
The stable's website says so too.
We are looking to start ridding lessons as soon as they can get a handle on this coronavirus.
Wranglers Riding Stables (Rocking U Riding Stables)
My son's first, the instructor taught him to ride like a pro, like he was born with reigns in his hands.
I usually walk laps with my youngest during the lessons and all the volunteers, staff and horses have all been nice.
The stable's website says so too.
If you’re looking for somewhere to board your horse, somewhere to take lessons, or even somewhere to take a trail ride and enjoy the beauty of Kentucky, this is the place to go!
My daughter has been taking riding lessons here for about a year and it’s been an amazing experience for the whole family.

Got my mom 🦓 riding lessons with Sue for her birthday.
I used to overthink and dread lessons, as I was always an anxious mess and never felt like I was making any progress, but now I’m actually excited for lessons.
A great place to board and take riding lessons as well as learn.

Each time I show up for a lesson with Stacy, I learn just as much about myself, as I do about the union, the respect and communication between horse and rider.

He taught me plenty that I’ll be taking home to work on, and I really appreciated how willing he was to share his knowledge in a way that was practical and easy to understand.
The day we went to visit, not only did they spend a lot of time with me and the horse for sale, they gave my daughter (an experienced rider) a lesson on riding a cutting horse.

As a person who has ridden for 20+ years on nothing but spooky, green, confidence breaking horses, I came to Concord Equestrian with the intent of just having flat lessons.
We have an instructor come in to give our daughter lessons, and this works just great.

Questions to ask a lesson barn
- Who would teach me? Ask how long the instructor has taught and which riders they usually work with.
- Private or group? Ask how many riders are in a lesson and what level they ride at.
- English or Western? Ask which style the barn teaches, and whether you can try both.
