What riders say about Helotes stables

MC Equine

I would recommend Michelle as a trainer anytime. Her work ethic is far beyond most people I have come across. I'm not sure why the 2 star review was claiming that there is no signage on the roads but there is I think that person was not paying attention to where they were going nor were they following the GPS closely…

Upward Transitions Therapeutic Horsemanship

What a WONDERFUL first experience for my daughter who is deafblind. The staff and volunteers were warm and welcoming, and one of the volunteers is studying sign language, so my daughter had the rare opportunity to meet a new person with whom she could communicate. A great place with great people and gentle horses!
