Know Before You Go

Reservations are required for all Cabin Creek Stables activities. All reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Stables staff have the right to limit activities in order to provide the safest equine experience.

At Cabin Creek Stables, we strive to work with our horses by creating a partnership. Each horse is a four-legged coworker and friend, so we want our guests to work with them as a team. Each team needs a leader, so we encourage guests to be a leader for their horse to have the best experience.

Altogether, this helps the horses stay mentally sound in such an important job: taking care of our guests. Horses are amazing creatures that embody beauty, power, and strength, so we are grateful to be able to share these animals with you. Being a prey animal, when they feel in danger, there is always an inherent risk with horses. However, we do our best to provide our horses with the education needed to provide the best experience for our guests.
