Where horse and
rider find home.

Full-care boarding and private riding lessons on the Stables of Bay Horse Inn — a quiet, well-kept facility run by a family that loves these horses as much as you do.

A Place To Belong

A quiet corner of Central Indiana where good horsemanship still matters.

The Stables is the sister property of Bay Horse Inn — Indiana's premier wedding & event venue. Tucked into the trees off State Road 135, our barn offers full-care boarding, beginner and intermediate riding lessons, and a calm, well-managed environment for horses and their people. Whether you're stepping into the saddle for the first time or looking for a place to bring your own horse home, you'll find honest care here.

First-Time Riders Welcome

Patient instruction, gentle horses.

Most of our new students have never sat on a horse before. We start slow — leading, brushing, learning what each horse needs — and build from there. Parents are welcome to watch, and we take safety as seriously as we take the fun.

"The barn smells like cedar and the kids leave grinning every time."

— A Stables Family
