Charlie Horse Equestrian Center

My daughter, now 9, has been riding at Charlie Horse for two and a half years and I truly wish I could give it even more than 5 stars! Marie (owner and primary trainer) is amazing with her students. Her number one concern is safety and she works carefully with each child to teach them at their pace and ability. She has several horses in her lesson program and they are all reliable and skilled. She will match the student with the horse she thinks is the best fit.
We do not own a horse but if we did we would board it there. The horses are not kept in a stable (unless they are injured or ill), instead they are able to roam over her large property. She has several arenas for both Western and English riding.
Marie is like family to us and we can’t imagine ever going anywhere else!

I don’t know how many people are looking for a good stable out there, but when you have a 9 year old horse crazed girl, it can be a full time job. You see, she has been crazy about horses since we took her for her first lesson when she was 5. We thought it was just a phase. Not so much.
So she has hopped around the local horse stables looking for the perfect fit. Now we have finally found it. It is called Charlie Horse Equestrian Center. It is just outside Hutto, in Taylor, Texas. What we like about this stable is #1, the people. All summer I called around to different places only to be talked to rudely, not get called back, etc. Well, Marie and Jeff are different. They aim to please. They are extra friendly, great with kids and adults alike. The kids absolutely love them.
Second, is, well, the cleanliness aspect. Now I know it is a «stable», which usually indicates «unclean.:» But the staff does their best to keep it as clean as possible. No barn cats jumping all over you. Few bugs. You get the picture.
Third, it is a beautiful location. Well kept pasture. Green grass. Big shade trees for relaxing under while watching a lesson.
I look forward to coming out to Charlie Horse Equestrian Center every Wednesday. It is the perfect location for your horse crazy kid.
