    Description

    Hello, we are Eric and Joan and we have been involved with horses all our life. I’m an adventurist myself and we love doing things outside such as hiking, rock climbing, scuba diving, etc. We travel frequently to explore new destinations even if it is just down the road. If you like riding horses a lot, this is the place for you.

While here we will help you with your equestrian skills. We will help you explore the Memphis area and share with you some of our favorite places. You will be off 3 days a week and will be given the opportunity to explore other cities like Nashville and New Orleans. Hiking and biking opportunities are abundant in the area. Of course you will also get to do a lot of horse riding.

It doesn't matter if your background is in English riding or Western. Please be honest about your experience. If you arrive and we see you weren't honest, we will ask you to leave. You will be required to help out 4 days a week. Help consist of feeding, grooming, tacking and riding our horses.
