Enchanted Hollow Stables

Enchanted Hollow Stables A family-owned & operated horseback riding school. Lessons, horse camps, trail rides and training. We have hitching rails.

Our family's involvement with horses led us to acquire a scenic 73-acre horse facility we call Enchanted Hollow Stables. Enchanted Hollow Stables is a boarding and leasing facility located just east of Buffalo in Rockford Township, and is about 30 easy-driving miles from downtown Minneapolis. This is a family-run facility and your horses will receive the same treatment and care as our National cha

mpions. There is a 44-stall barn, a 70 x 120 indoor arena, a 150 x 350 outdoor arena, a wash stall, acres and acres of wooded trails, a riding and driving track, a 60-foot round pen, Ritchie waterers and salt blocks in every turnout, secure tack rooms, a clubhouse, a lounge and other amenities that make Enchanted Hollow Stables a desirable location for horse enthusiasts to board and lease. We welcome horses of all sizes -- from Miniatures on up -- and all boarders have the option of saddling their horse or hitching it up to a cart to enjoy a ride or drive in our arenas and on our trails. We have acres and acres of scenic wooded trails groomed for riding and driving. Want to take a break and have a snack, beverage or use our on-site heated restroom before continuing your ride or drive? We offer boarders the option of a 10 x 10 or 10 x 20 indoor stall, as well as pasture boarding. All horses with stalls are turned out daily in small groups. Horses are hand-walked to and from the turnout areas, which include your choice of a lush pasture or dry lot. We offer full-service board and amenities. The monthly fee covers hay mornings and evenings for indoor boarders and hay/grass for outdoor boarders, 24/7 access to fresh water for all horses, and any additional supplements the horse owner wants to provide. Horses boarded outdoors have access to a large run-in to avoid inclement weather. Our farrier is one of the most reasonable and respected in the Upper Midwest. He has trimmed the feet of all of our National champions. Buffalo Equine and Large Animal Clinic is just minutes away if your horse needs vaccinations or other veterinarian care. We use both Buffalo Equine and Dr. Darrell Zehrer, one of the premier vets in Minnesota. We have a limited number of boarders, and stalls are on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you don't own a horse, we have, at times, horses of all sizes for sale. And if you are interested in leasing, we have lease options for Miniature horses, Ponies and Horses. We also have a tack, clothing and consignment shop. Please email us at [email protected] for inquiries.

🌡️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: No Riding Lessons Tonight 🌡️

With today’s heat index hovering around 160 (and still climbing), we’re making the call to cancel all riding lessons after horse camp wraps up. We modified camp activities today for the health and safety of the kids and the horses and they just came back from a trail ride extremly hot and sweaty.

This level of heat and humidity is dangerous—not just for our young riders, but especially for our lesson horses, many of whom are older and more vulnerable to heat stress.

At Enchanted Hollow, we always put the well-being of our horses and the safety of our riders first. After a long day of horse camp, we simply can’t ask our horses to give any more in these extreme conditions—and we certainly don’t want our riders pushing through the heat either.

Thank you all for understanding and supporting the decisions we make to keep everyone—two-legged and four-legged—safe and healthy. ❤️🐴

📣 Everyone who was already on the schedule as of noon today has been contacted directly, but I’m posting here to make sure this update reaches everyone. Please feel free to share or tag someone if needed!

It’s been a wildly busy summer at the farm, and we’ve got lots of exciting updates and changes to share—plus tons of photos from earlier camps that I’m finally getting around to posting. So stay tuned and keep checking back here for all the fun!

First up: by popular demand, we’ve opened up two LEVEL 2 Horse Camps in August during the weeks we had originally blocked off the calendar.

These camps are designed for riders who already have some experience—whether that’s from a previous Enchanted Hollow Stables camp, regular lessons, or riding elsewhere. We’ll be focusing on more advanced skills like patterns, games, and barrels, so campers should already feel fairly confident in the saddle and have a solid foundation in basic riding and horsemanship.

As always, we’ll start camp with a review of the basics on Day 1—but we’ll progress more quickly into intermediate riding skills. This allows for a deeper, more focused experience than our beginner camps. We’ll still enjoy all the fun camp favorites like trail rides, but we’ll also spend dedicated time working on barrels, games, and refining technique.

Just like all of our camps, these sessions are fully immersive: each camper is assigned their own horse for the week and will be involved in every part of barn life—feeding, grooming, mucking, daily chores, and of course, plenty of ride time.

Spots are limited and typically fill fast—our regular camps book out months in advance, so this is a rare last-minute opportunity to snag a spot before summer wraps up!

If you missed out on a spot earlier this summer—or if your rider loved camp and wants to come back for another unforgettable week at the farm—this is your chance!

🐴✨ June 27 was one for the memory books! ✨🐴
Our littlest cowgirls and cowboys stole the show at our Little Kids Horse Camp—and we couldn’t stop smiling (or snapping photos)!

They jumped right into barn life—feeding horses, cleaning stalls, and helping with feeding hay like total pros. Then it was time to brush, groom, and lead our miniature horses around a tiny obstacle course before saddling up to ride our bigger horses and ponies with confidence and joy. 💪🐴♥️

They also made horse treats, did a fun craft to take home, played games, and explored the farm with us where they got to meet all sorts of new friends: goats, pigs, donkeys, kittens—and even our adorable brand new baby horse! 🐐🐖🐴🐱🐾

It was a day full of laughter, learning and the kind of magical moments that make childhood so special.

Swipe through to see all the sweet, silly, hardworking, and heartwarming highlights. We’re so grateful for this joyful little crew—full of big hearts, tiny boots, and unforgettable memories.

Did you know that Minnesota had some of the worst air quality in the world earlier this week?

On Monday and Tuesday, our state experienced dangerously high pollution levels due to smoke from over 200 wildfires burning across Canada — especially in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The smoke drifted into the Upper Midwest, pushing air quality into hazardous territory. Cities like Ely reached an AQI of 336, and Minneapolis ranked among the top cities globally for poor air quality during that time.

Below is another helpful chart that breaks down how air quality levels affect both humans and animals.

We know weather-related cancellations or adjustments can be disappointing, but we truly appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we navigate this. Our priority is the health and safety of both our riders and our horses.

Many of our best lesson and camp horses are older, and some live with pre-existing respiratory conditions that make them especially vulnerable when air quality declines. Just like with kids, even a short amount of time in these conditions can have lasting impacts.

Thank you for supporting our decision to pause or adjust when needed — we’re always trying to do what’s best for the horses we love and the kids who ride them. 💛

🔥 A Must Read For Horse Owners 🔥

The University of Minnesota just released an article that every horse owner—especially those who compete—needs to read. 🐴💨

It’s easy to sit inside our air-conditioned homes or offices and wonder why we out in the country worry so much about our horses during days like this. But this breaks it down in great detail: what really happens to horses when they’re exposed to poor air quality, even if they’re in a barn that isn’t airtight.

Their lungs weren’t built for this. And if we expect them to perform at their best, we owe it to them to understand how serious the risks are.

Please take a moment to read it—your horse will thank you. 💙

No Lessons Today – Air Quality Alert

Due to poor air quality from the Canadian wildfires, we are canceling all lessons today. Our current AQI is at 179 and expected to worsen as the day goes on. The health of both our horses and riders is our top priority, and we want to ensure everyone stays safe and well.

Thank you for understanding, and we’ll keep you updated on any further changes.
