Artisan's Stables

At Artisans Stables we strive for excellence in riding skills, horsemanship, and safety. All of our horses are well versed in teaching beginners—building their confidence as they learn—but they are also suitable for those ready to compete in rated show series. Our team of trainers has been developing great riders and horses with a goal oriented approach on the ‘A’ circuit shows for over 20 years. Our trainers’ ability to motivate while maintaining professionalism and high standards of sportsmanship is what makes us so successful.

Heather Hill Riding Center

Heather Hill Riding Center LLC's program is highly individualized; our fundamental philosophy is based on excellence in well-rounded horsemanship. We primarily offer training in English riding, jumping, and trails. However, many of our students learn to ride Western and drive the ponies. Underlying all our instruction, students work to understand the horse's body language and effective communication between horse and rider.

We also offer basic horsemanship and ground handling lessons for folks who love horses but are not ready or interested in riding.
