"I'm one of the lucky ones because I get to ride frequently at Niagara Riding Stables. The real advantage here though is that while riding through the Niagara Escarpment it's possible to see this protected environment "up close and personal" from the back of a horse. What an amazing experience that is! I highly recommend it"
our horses
Every one of our horses are part of an extended family here at Niagara Riding Stables, and like family members, they are treated with the utmost care and affection. Above all else, our mission has always been to work in partnership with these wonderful creatures. Come and see the difference in our horses for yourself. Just like our location, they are head and shoulders above the rest.
