Great place to ride and develop life...
Just had to say a few words about what a great place Meadowlarke Stables is not only for learning a fun sport but also for learning skills that will stay with riders throughout their lives whether they continue riding or move on to do other things in their lives. Meadowlarke's animals which include horses, cows, pigs, turkeys, ducks, chickens, dogs and cats have all been rescued either from the meat auction, overcrowded meat breeding farms or various shelters and pounds giving them a caring environment to live, work and ultimately retire. The instructors are knowledgeable and caring individuals who teach their riders to not only ride but to respect and care for all the animals at the stables.

The instructors are knowledgeable and caring individuals who teach their riders to not only ride but to respect and care for all the animals at the stables. Many of the students who ride at the stables have never come into contact with animals larger than a hamster or a goldfish but through their lessons, volunteering and working develop confidence with the animals and the people they interact with at the stables. Many become leaders at camp, hosting birthday parties or become riding instructors and these skills will take them into any classroom, boardroom, community involvement or just make them stronger members of their families. Both my daughter and I have ridden in lessons and horse shows, volunteered and worked at Meadowlarke for a number of years and would not continue to be there if we felt that it was not a healthy, humane, fun and educational place to be.

Thank you for your kind words. We love all animals and take great pride in being able to give them a second chance at life. We couldn't agree with you more about the skills you in horseback riding being beneficial in all aspects of life.
