5 Places to Go Horseback Riding Near Augusta
Horseback riding delivers mental and physical health benefits as well as the deep satisfaction of interacting with animals. Our real estate agents love to destress with a ride at one of these top stables around Augusta.
- Whispering Woods Stables - 150 Ingraham Mountain Rd., Augusta, ME 04330
Plagued by a deep-seated phobia of horses, Teresa Elvin, owner of Whispering Woods Stables, decided to face her fears head-on.

In addition to riding lessons and boarding services, Whispering Woods offers equine-assisted therapy focused on learning and healing. - Wright Way Stables - 198 Eight Rod Rd., Augusta, ME 04330
For Sarah Lettre, owner of Wright Way Stables, horse riding has literally been her life. Sarah began showing saddle seat at the tender age of 3 and won several titles during her teens. After earning a bachelor's degree in Equestrian Science at William Woods University in Missouri, Sarah returned home to Maine, where she founded the stables she now runs with her husband, Jon. Not surprisingly, Wright Way specializes in saddle seat riding, with private and group lessons for kids and adults. Day-long riding camps include two lessons per day along with the chance to learn grooming and other elements of horse care. - Hill Country Stables - 54 Wade Rd., Augusta, ME 04330
