About Blue Skies Stables

Blue Skies Stables is a full-service equestrian facility in Selma, North Carolina, offering horse boarding, horseback riding, and summer camps in Johnston County. Like Star Ridge Stables, it operates in a part of NC where the rural landscape and close highway access make equestrian operations practical and well-positioned for the surrounding communities. Selma's growing population of families relocating from the Raleigh metro area has created increasing demand for local recreational programming, including horse-based activities. Blue Skies Stables appears set up to meet that demand with a trio of services that cover recreational riders, competitive equestrians, and summer camp families alike.

Services & Process

Blue Skies Stables runs three distinct programs under one roof. Horse boarding provides local owners with a professional environment for their animals, with daily care routines that include feeding, stall maintenance, and turnout. Horseback riding programs serve clients at different levels, from first-time riders getting comfortable in the saddle to more experienced equestrians working on technique. Summer camps, which are a significant draw in Johnston County, combine riding instruction with horsemanship education, giving participants a structured, multi-day experience that goes deeper than a single lesson. Each service is designed to work independently or in combination for clients who want more than one offering.

Service Area

Blue Skies Stables serves the Selma and Johnston County region, with clients coming from Smithfield, Clayton, Four Oaks, and surrounding communities. The facility's position in central Johnston County also puts it within reasonable driving distance for families in the southeastern Raleigh suburbs. For horse owners in the area, it offers a local boarding option that avoids long trailer trips into the Triangle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in Blue Skies Stables' summer camp program?
Equestrian summer camps typically include daily riding lessons, basic horse care and grooming instruction, and time learning about stable management. Some camps also include team-building activities and field time outside the arena, giving kids a well-rounded experience.
Can I board my horse at Blue Skies Stables and also take riding lessons there?
Yes, and combining boarding and lessons at the same facility is one of the most convenient arrangements for horse owners. It means your horse is already on-site when you arrive, and you can work with instructors who are already familiar with your animal.
How does Blue Skies Stables compare to other equestrian facilities in Selma?
Having multiple equestrian facilities in a single area is actually a good sign for local riders because it indicates an active community with enough demand to support different options. Each stable tends to develop its own approach and culture, so visiting both is the best way to find your fit.
What age groups are the summer camps designed for?
Camp programs at most equestrian facilities in NC target kids roughly between ages 6 and 16, though specific age brackets vary by program level. Calling ahead to confirm age requirements and how the camp groups participants by experience is always a good first step.
Do I need to bring my own riding gear to Blue Skies Stables?
Many facilities provide helmets and basic equipment for new riders, but it's best to confirm what's supplied and what you should bring before your first visit. As you progress in riding, investing in your own properly fitted helmet and boots is worthwhile.
Is Johnston County a good area for horse owners looking to relocate their animals?
Johnston County offers a strong combination of rural land, competitive boarding costs compared to the Triangle, and solid access to equine veterinary services in the region. For horse owners commuting from the Raleigh area, it's a practical and often more affordable option.
