There are “horse trainers” and there are “horse traders.”  And then there’s South River Stable, where you will find experienced, insured, equine professionals that won’t steer you wrong.  If you should ride a bike instead of riding a horse, we’ll tell you.  If you have a “problem” horse that someone claimed was “trained,” we can help you fix their mistakes.  While each horse is different and each situation is unique, we feel that we never “break” a horse.  Who would want a horse with a broken spirit?  We can help!  A horse is an enormous responsibility and if you aren’t enjoying horse ownership due to unfortunate circumstances that occurred in the past, we can attempt to help you through that.  As the testimonials on this page attest, we can help.  SRS wishes to thank all of our clients and students for all of their support!
