Our Facilities
The Equestrian Center is designed to cater to riders of all levels and abilities. The barn boasts 24 spacious stalls, ensuring comfort and optimal care for every horse. The center features an indoor arena, perfect for year-round training and events, complemented by two expansive outdoor areas that offer ample space for riding and practice.
Liberty Stables
Liberty Stables and Equestrian Center was formed in 2023, however, the equine facility was long established before this and was once known as Rocking Horse Ridge.
The Lucas family purchased the property in 2020 with high hopes of bringing the farm back to its glory. The past few years have brought many changes, new fencing, barn roof, gutters, new paddocks with run-in sheds, revamped indoor and outdoor arenas are some of the major improvements. Work is still in progress as we strive to provide a safe and peaceful experience.
Liberty Stables welcomed trainer Kat Virginia of Parabelle Equine as the Barn Manger in January 2024. In just a few short months the once empty barn stalls were filled and young children come to ride daily in hoping to perfect their riding skills. It has been a joy to watch the farm come back to life.
