About Us

Situated in the heart of Giant City State Park

Only 10 miles south of Rt 13 (Carbondale, IL) on Giant City Road, our stables provide guided horseback trail rides, summer horse camps, and riding lessons for both groups and individuals. Young horseback riding enthusiasts can enjoy hand led rides, and we also offer therapeutic riding sessions for individuals with disabilities under the guidance of our PATH Intl Certified Riding Instructors. The Stables operate from March 15th through mid November for guided horseback trail rides and are open year-round for other activities weather permitting. Reservations are recommended for all services.
