Cleveland Arena & Stables

We are pleased to provide both English and Western riding lessons.  We accept students of all ages.  Our belief is that everyone can benefit from spending time on or around our horses.  We work with beginner to intermediate level riders.

Our training philosophy is simple. We realize that you can't "make" a horse do anything. Horses, like riders, need to be trained. That process involves gaining respect, forming a partnership and guiding the horse through a series of exercises to achieve the desired result.

We want our horses to cooperate and work with us. We don't want them to fear us. We do, however, want them to respect us. Think of any successful relationship in life and you'll probably see that it's based on mutual respect. Not fear. Our relationships with our horse is no different. Once we get past our own egos, it's amazing what we can accomplish by working as a team.

We use the training methods of all the top trainers. Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, John Lyons and others. These horsemen all have proven track records and their training methods are tried and true! We're not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Rather, we're using the knowledge that we've gained from the countries premier horse trainers in our own training program.

Why board your horse with us?

Taking care of horses is our only business. It's not a second job or hobby for us. It's all we do!

We'll treat your horse like one of our own. We feed only the best quality 12% protein, 8% fat pellleted feed. We use only top quality square bales of hay to insure freshness.

As one of our boarders, you'll enjoy the use of our huge lighted outdoor riding arena as well as our round pen, tack room, wash area and trails.

Rest assured, someone is always around if you need a helping hand with your horse.

If you're looking for a fun outdoor activity, check out our guided trail rides!

Bring the family (all ages welcome) and come enjoy the beautiful countryside on horseback. Our horses are safe and they come in all sizes. We send one or two trail guides out with each group to insure your safety and to lead the way!

Pack a lunch and we'll be happy to stop and have a picnic.

Trail rides are available by appointment and are offered during the week and on weekends. Reserve your horseback trail ride today!

We are currently offering trail rides for groups of up to 5 people.

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering horseback birthday parties for kids and adults of all ages.

We offer a safe, family friendly environment and use both horses and ponies at our parties.

We offer several different packages to suit your needs. Or, we're happy to consult with you to customize your birthday party.

If you are thinking about purchasing a horse, our horsemanship classes are a great place to start.  We cover everything you need to know about horse ownership.

We'll show you how to care for your horse and tend to his injuries.  We'll discuss horse nutrition with you to insure that you are providing your horse with all the necessary nutritional needs.

We'll answer any questions you may have and show you how to perform such tasks as giving a shot, wrapping a swollen leg, basic hoof care, what to watch out for and lots of other vital information for a new horse owner.

Need a place to practice for an upcoming event?  No problem.  Give us a call or send us an email.  Our arena has an excellent sand base and we keep it in tip top condition.

We have barrels and a timer if you need to fine tune your barrel runs.  We also have jumps available for the English riders who need to prepare for an upcoming show.

Sometimes you may just want to expose your horse to a different environment.  Our arena has lights and a PA system and we can play music or sounds to get your horse accustomed to new things.

We frequently come across horses that have the potential to be excellent kid safe horses.  Sometimes they just need a little extra training.  When we do, we generally purchase them and put the training into them and try to place them in loving, suitable homes.

Princess is a prime example.  She didn't know much, but she was calm and quiet.  We put the training time into her and found her a wonderful, loving home.

Purchasing a horse, especially for the first time, can be a challenging proposition.  Unfortunately, not all horse sellers are completely honest.  That's why we decided to offer this service.

We can tell you if a horse has been drugged, his approximate age and whether or not he shows signs of chronic lameness.  Of course, we always recommend that you have any horse vet checked prior to purchase.  The vet will perform different tests on the horse that may show issues that aren't visible to the eye.

We'll travel with you to see the horse and ride the horse first.  If he is going to offer any buck or rearing, we will be prepared and able to handle the situation.  Your safety is our priority.

Is your horse giving you some trouble but you can't quite pinpoint the problem?  We offer horse evaluations for just that reason.  Our evaluations last between one to two hours.  After that, we can give you our opinion as to what direction you and your horse may need to go.

We may recommend training at our facility or just give you some pointers on some things that you can work on at home.  Sometimes a neutral, unbiased opinion is what you really need.

This is a great opportunity to provide your children with a fun, educational activity during their break.

Our camps are open to children between the ages of 5 and 18. We have different horse camps throughout the year to focus on children that have never ridden to beginner riders and then for more advanced riders.
