Visiting Lake Fork and looking for something fun to do? Lake Fork Stables offers the opportunity to ride retired racehorses! Our program is different from your typical trail ride. Not only do you have the unique chance to ride a retired racehorse, but our program is a complete horsemanship experience starting with catching and grooming your horse to tacking and riding. You will learn the entire process of caring for and riding a horse!

Our program is aimed at beginners, but riders of all levels have enjoyed our horseback riding program.

Price is $80 per person for 2 hours. Children 5 and up allowed. Spectators are free. All guests are required to sign a liability waiver.

What we do

Our Amenities

iFEed Automatic Feeders

Our iFeed Automatic feeding system ensures that our full care horses are fed consistently day in and day out, which reduces the chances of ulcers and colic.

Lighted Outdoor Arena

Whether it’s the Texas heat or the time change, sometimes it’s just nicer to ride at night! Our arena features 2 highpower LED lights providing that option!

Cabin Rentals

Visiting the area for a horse show, trail ride, or just passing through? We have 5 cabin rentals and 2 hotel rooms available for nightly rental. Book at StableViewCottages.com.

Horse Shows

Every year we travel to local schooling shows. While we specialize in English disciplines, all disciplines are welcome.
What Drives Us

Our Mission

Lake Fork Stables strives to provide the best care for our horses. Our horses enjoy 24/7 turnout with the option to come into the barn during the day to cool themselves under the fans or escape the weather. We feed Bluebonnet Equilene Complete, which provides maximum nutrition and roughage.
