Our Mission

Lake Fork Stables, a 501(c)3 public charity, is home to the Riders Up! Youth Mentorship Program, which offers free and reduced rate riding lessons to East Texas kids. We offer English and Western riding lessons to people of all ages as well as horseback riding experiences. All proceeds from paid riding lessons, horseback riding excursion and boarding go to support the horses and the Riders Up! Program. If you’d like to donate for just the price of a coffee, you can via ko-fi.com/ridersup. Every little bit helps!

Lake Fork Stables is owned by Troy & Valerie Mellema. Valerie has a BS in Equine Business from West Texas A&M University. She has been riding since the age of 5 with a short 7 year break after graduating college and starting a business. She then got back in the saddle in 2012 and a few years later Lake Fork Stables was built.
