Programs & Riders
Thank you for your interest in riding at Pride Stables!
Pride Stables offers therapeutic horseback riding to pre-registered riders with disabilities in our seasonal sessions. We do not offer one-time lessons or rides/packages (e.g. one-time trail rides).
We are accepting enrollment of new riders with disabilities for all classes (weekday daytime, evenings, and Saturdays). Note: Riders must be under 160lbs (72kg); and 5 years of age or older.
New rider enrollment packages are not available on our website.
For more info and to request a new rider enrollment package, please call the office at 519-653-4686 or send us an email.
Weather – Classes run in rain, snow, wind, fog, etc. We ride in the covered arena in inclement weather.
From time to time if a class needs to be cancelled due to extreme weather events (e.g. ice storm), we will call affected riders and change the office voicemail message as soon as possible.
