Welcome to New Hope Stables. Nestled amongst the forest and farmlands in picturesque Wendell NC, we are conveniently located 5 minutes from I-540 making us easily accessible from anywhere in the Triangle.
Our mission is to combine our passion and knowledge in order to provide top quality care for every horse. We invite all disciplines; we do not feel it's what you ride, rather what you learn and how you grow with the horse. With over 60 acres of planned trails for riding, a pond to splash around in, and a spacious riding arena, there are many options for you and your horse. Barn shows, clinics and other fun, informative equine activites are planned throughout this year.
Boarding--Here at New Hope Stables, we are a full service boarding facility that includes am & pm feedings of high quality feed, as well as wellness monitoring by our on-site barn manager. We will add supplements supplied by owners, as well as blankets and fly masks when needed at no additional charge. You can stall board your horse in our bright and airy 10 stall barn or if you prefer pasture board, we have acres of green pastures and paddocks that provide a wonderful outdoor experience for your horse. We offer hay in addition to green grass for grazing. Daily turn out in our pasture or paddocks for each small group to socialize and exercise. We look forward to providing the best possible environment for you to have the happiest and healthiest horse.
Riding Lessons--We offer riding lessons for children 5 years old and up. Each rider will learn basic horsemenship skills, grooming and how to tack his/her horse as well as the fundementals of riding. $20/Lessons are approximately an hour long.
Camps--We also offer summer/track out camps. Each camp is one week long (mon-fri) 8am - 4pm. Activities will include: learning how to care for a horse, grooming, tacking, riding twice a day, outdoor games, arts and crafts, and an hour for lunch (2 snacks will be provided each day; one mid-morning and one late afternoon). Campers will learn how to utilize key skills like teamwork, sharing, responsibility, and tidiness while having fun and learning something new!
Equine Sports Massage Therapy- Kelly received her certification from Equissage in 2005. Massage has been used for therapeutic purposes - on both humans and animals - since the very dawn of time. Its beneficial use has been documented in our earliest cultures from the Egyptians... to the Phoenicians... to the Greeks... to the Romans and on to the present time.
Among the many documented benefits of massage are:
-Enhances muscle tone and range of motion.
-Reduces inflammation and swelling in the joints, thereby alleviating pain.
-Promotes the healing process by increasing the flow of nutrients to the muscles, and aiding in carrying away excessive fluids and toxins.
-Creates a positive effect on the contractual and release process of the muscles...releasing tension...relaxing muscles.
-Stimulates circulation by: defrosting frozen muscles, thereby releasing endorphins - the body's natural pain killers.
-Helps to maintain the whole body in better physical condition
