A typical beginner’s class starts with the basics. Shannon and the members of her staff patiently tutor each student in such skills as the proper way to sit in a saddle, how to “steer” a horse, walking, trotting and cantering. Obstacles are added to the ﬁ eld so that the student can practice control skills. Shannon teaches riding skills in the western saddle as well as English saddle. For the more advanced students she teaches barrel racing, a competition which includes

One of the Outdoor Areas, with the Stables in the background The stable boasts three arenas; two out door and one indoor, so that lessons can be enjoyed in any weather all year around. There is even a pond with a small beach and paddle boat for the enjoyment of campers. State Line Stables is busy 360 days a year and Josh says that the work goes on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The well-tended buildings and grounds as well as the well trained and gentle animals are evidence that all of the work that goes into maintaining this business is a labor of love for Josh and Shannon. If you own your own horse State Line Stables offers boarding packages which includes two feedings daily of quality hay, there is even a discount offered if your horse can be used for trail rides.

Trail ride through the scenic woods Trail rides are a popular visitor’s activity and you don’t need to be an experienced rider to enjoy this 45 minute trek through the woods on the backs of these gentle animals. The tour takes riders into the woods across a ravine and clippity clopping over bridges and along a shaded trail.
