Lesson Horses

Hillside Stables keeps a variety of school horses that are used in lessons and available for lease. All of our horses have very distinct personalities, love getting groomed and fed treats, and enjoy teaching their riders how a horse should be ridden. Many of our horses are long-time fixtures of Hillside and we love them dearly. We believe that horses should not have to be lesson horses forever and have listed some of them as available for sale or lease so they could have a person or family of their own. Please inquire after your favorite horse if they are not shown here or on our Sale/Lease page–they might not be listed yet!
