"Be a Rider, Not a Passenger."

Helping young riders build strength, confidence, and lifelong skills through horses.

Where Confidence and Horsemanship Come Together

At Star Ridge Stables, we’re passionate about helping riders grow—both in and out of the saddle. Located in Selma, North Carolina, we offer a welcoming, family-oriented environment where students of all ages can learn, develop their skills, and build lasting connections with horses.

Founded by seasoned instructor Stella Prescott, our stable focuses on quality instruction, horse care, and personal growth. Whether you’re a beginner or a competitive rider, our experienced team and gentle horses will support your journey every step of the way.
