Fort Ridgely Equestrian Center is a family-owned horse stables where the primary focus is the welfare of your horse. We are small enough to give you and your horse personalized service, yet we can provide access to some of the most scenic trails in Minnesota, along with opportunities for the best in farrier, vet and chiropractic care.

Sarah Maass, manager, of Fort Ridgely Equestrian Center - I have over 20 years experience with horses. My family has been very involved with 4-H activities, including many trips to the state show, and our daughter, Dana, competed in national 4-H Horse Bowl. I am also the author of five children’s books about horse breeds.

We’ve been involved in several disciplines, including Trail Riding, Games, Western and English Pleasure (WSCA), Jumping, Endurance Riding and Competitive Trail Riding. With kids having outgrown 4-H, we’ve gotten very involved with Distance Riding. We compete in races in the upper Midwest, at distances ranging from 25-100 miles. Our distance horses are what you could call “extreme” trail horses, and we expect our not-so-fast trail horses to be equally trail-savvy.

Our facility focuses mainly on boarding, but we do offer training to one or two horses at a time, and we also offer riding lessons. At this point, we don’t “rent” horses out, but we have a lease option that allows you to have a horse here that is yours to ride, either on a full-lease or partial-lease basis.
