Services & Process

Ride The Sky Stables offers horseback riding lessons and full horse boarding services under one roof. Riding instruction covers everything from beginner basics to more advanced skills for riders looking to compete or ride trails with confidence. The boarding side of the operation gives horse owners a safe, managed environment for their animals, typically including daily feeding, stall cleaning, and turnout time. Having both services available at one location makes it easier for horse owners to stay involved in their animal's training without juggling multiple providers.

Service Area

Ride The Sky Stables serves the Apex area and draws riders and horse owners from throughout western Wake County, including Cary, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina. It's also a reasonable option for residents in Chatham County towns like Pittsboro looking for boarding closer to the Research Triangle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does horse boarding typically include at a facility like Ride The Sky Stables?
Standard full boarding usually covers daily feeding, stall cleaning, fresh water, and scheduled turnout time in a pasture or paddock. Some facilities also include routine health monitoring and coordination with your farrier and vet.
Can I take riding lessons even if I don't board a horse there?
Yes, most equestrian facilities that offer both boarding and lessons will provide lesson horses for students who don't own their own animal. You'll ride one of the stable's horses during your sessions.
What riding disciplines are typically taught at stables in the Apex area?
Western and English riding are both common in Wake County facilities. Some stables specialize in one style, so it's worth asking when you call to make sure they teach the discipline you're interested in.
How often should I take lessons to actually improve my riding?
Most instructors recommend at least one lesson per week for steady progress, especially when you're building foundational skills. Riders who can practice between lessons, whether on a lesson horse or their own, tend to advance more quickly.
Are there any trails near Apex suitable for horseback riding?
The Jordan Lake area and several rural roads in western Wake County offer trail riding options for those with horses. Ask the stable about their recommendations for local trails that allow horses.
What's the difference between full boarding and partial boarding?
Full boarding covers all daily care for your horse, while partial or pasture boarding typically means your horse lives outdoors in a field with less hands-on daily management. Full boarding costs more but requires less personal time from the owner.
