Services

Horse of Course Stables offers “full” board for $550/month.  The horse lives in an individual paddock.  This allows individualized care. Your horse can still have friends over the fence but we can cater to your horse’s individual needs. All have access to a shelter, stall, or shade sail.  Horses are fed grain/feed twice a day and hay 2-3 times per day.  Alfalfa can be fed for additional cost. Paddocks and water troughs are cleaned regularly. Full board also includes a blanketing service when it’s under 32 degrees and will fly spray and feed supplements. We have a couple of pastures as well. $500/month, horses fed grain twice a day, coastal round bale supplied as free choice hay. Knowledgable owner lives on-site. Come set up a tour of our beautiful facility. The property does not flood.

Call to Book a Party!  Let your kids have the best birthday of their dreams! We have a large covered carport with a fridge and freezer, as well as a bathroom. Time slots are 2.5 hours, and we provide a decorated horse for the riders to have what is called a pony ride. A pony ride can be on a horse, it’s just a term for being lead! Our horse Sparky, is the best horse for the job!  Themes such as Unicorn and Dinosaur are available at your request! Prices start at $300!  Contact us for more information and how we can help!

Alexa uses natural horsemanship to initiate communication and develop a relationship with the horse. The same principles apply under saddle. She then applies her centered riding methods and basic classical dressage to the horse, no matter the breed or discipline. Therefore, she trains for many disciplines: dressage, hunter, jumper, reining, and gaited horses, such as Paso Fino and the Tennessee Walker.

Assisted Riding Lessons are $65 for a private 30-minute lesson. Monthly packages are available for $220 for 4 lessons done within a month. Assisted Riding lessons are geared towards children ages 3 to 6. It’s a nice intro to Horse Safety, grooming, tacking, and learning to balance while being kept safe by an experienced sidewalker staying next to them.

Meet Honeybee is a 2010 Paso Fino mare.

• Favorite Treat:  Apples
• Color: Dun
• Height: 14.2 hh
• Facts:  She was born and trained by Alexa in North Carolina.  They both ended up in Texas.  Honeybee is now part of the lesson program.  Once students learn how to canter and control their seat, they then learn how their body weight affects the horse. HB is sensitive and if you shift weight into one seat bone more than the other, she turns. If you tuck your bum and breathe out and sit heavy, she tucks her butt underneath her and halts! The students enjoy riding “the smoothest breed in the world!” She really loves hitting the trails and swimming with students in the river!
