With spring just around the corner, it’s time to get out, get some fresh air and get on a horse. In case you didn’t know, our view of the world is much better seen between the ears of a horse! We at the Sporting Club stable truly believe that, and would love the opportunity to show you just how easy life’s trials and tribulations can be after a horse ride.


The Greenbrier Sporting Club stable has lots of options to make your time on a horse a truly memorable experience. From someone who has never ridden to experienced riders, your riding experience will be individually tailored to your interests and skill level. We want everyone to have a fun time on our horses and learn what amazing animals they are.


Why not take a trail ride through the forest or up Kate’s Mountain? We offer a basic one-hour trail ride, but also offer rides of varying lengths depending on your schedule. Whether riding in an English or western saddle, we have the horse for you. We also give lessons in English or western riding, during which we spend time helping you to understand what makes horses tick and how to communicate to them.


Kids (and adults too!) will enjoy our gymkhanas, or games on horses, where they can, among other things, test their abilities at carrying an egg on a spoon while on horseback. Our games are a lot of fun and are designed to increase a person’s abilities and confidence on a horse in an encouraging environment. This year we are also offering a junior wrangler program, where kids will spend time learning about different horse breeds, learning how to take care of a horse and learning how to ride. We also offer pony parties at the stable, suitable for birthdays or any special occasion. Our parties can include birthday cakes or lunch as well.


There is plenty to do at the Sporting Club stable, and we’ll work hard to give you a personal, fun day with our horses.
