Ride the Sky Stables

Ride The Sky is not your typical riding school where students are thrown into large group classes and just told to go around. The owners and trainers are all so knowledgeable not only in teaching people how to ride but also teaching people how to train and take care of their horses. They really care about helping the student progress at their own pace to the level they wish to be at. The low key, family friendly atmosphere is ideal for beginners learning how to ride and more advanced students learning how to train. The variety of disciplines available offers students the ability to try almost anything! Truly a wonderful place to be!

Excellent experience for kids. Easy way to book and pay.

This is a nice little riding stables, well kept and pleasant to visit. Horse used for my lesson was a nice safe sort, very good for lessons. My instructor Laney was great and the lesson she gave me was just what I wanted it to be!

Great place and instructors! I am seventy years old just retired. I decided I wanted to learn the basics of riding so as to be able to ride with my wife and grand daughter. At RtSS, I learned skills of riding and of communicating with a horse as I walked the horse from the pasture, groomed it saddled and put on the bridle for it. I did a lesson a week for 6 weeks and now am ready to move up and practice some basic trail riding Andi, Sue and Bora were all great. I recommend it highly. Good location right between Chapel Hill and Durham at I-40 and Hy 54.

My wife is an excellent rider, but I know nothing about horses, so I decided to take lessons for a year to understand this foreign concept of propelling myself forward on an animal whom I've never met before...

Over the course of the year, Andi, Adam and I worked on mastering the fundamentals of horseback riding and horsemanship. Not only did I learn how to ride, but I was also taught how to correct a horse when it was not listening to my aids. Andi and Adam taught me not just how to ride, but how to understand a horse and get the most out of both myself as a rider and my horse as an athlete.

Ride the Sky is not a hardcore show barn, but everyone here is hardcore about training and riding correctly. Here you aren't pushed through the levels, but progress only when you have mastered the prerequisite skills. This means you will take longer to learn the basics, but will progress much faster when you are ready for advanced riding. If you put the necessary time and effort to developing a solid foundation, you will be able to build on it quickly and effectively!

I'm still at RTS, and the axiom that is always repeated around here is "you are either training a horse or un-training a horse whenever you ride - there is no in-between." So if you are unsatisfied with your riding and want to improve or break through your riding plateau, visit RTS. If you're new to riding and want to understand your wife and daughter better, check us out. If you think you're hot stuff, come see how you stack up against the folks here and leave with some great new friends.

My daughter has been taking lessons here for a few months and we love it. She has learned a lot so far and can't wait for her lesson every week!

Honestly the best place I've ever kind to ride. With friendly people, and an accepting community, you're almost sure to love it here as much as I do. I can honest-to-god see myself being here forever.

They did a great job for 10 girls at our 6 year olds birthday party!

This place is AMAZING, well kept and very professional!!!

Good teachers and horses

Ok. My son Jackson had been training with Macy and she is great. However, there was one time we arrived and nobody was here and they told me that the lesson was scheduled but none of the coach had us on schedule and they never picked up the phone call and it takes them more than three days to reply and email and more than half the time, they don’t reply emails even with existing customers.
