Bringing Joy to our East Texas Community
Welcome to Lake Fork Stables, a 501c3 nonprofit organization nestled in the heart of Yantis, Texas. At Lake Fork Stables, we believe that horses can be powerful teachers and partners who can help us navigate life’s challenges, no matter how young or old we are.
As we step into a new chapter at Lake Fork Stables, we are focusing on the human-horse relationship and expanding beyond the idea of a riding school but one that creates a connection and bond with the horse.
Through our horsemanship courses, participants discover:
Self-reliance
Independence
Self-confidence
A deeper sense of empathy for others
The beauty of the horse-human connection
The soul cleansing of nature and being outdoors
Explore our Programs for more detailed information on the opportunities we offer. Join us in making horsemanship and life skills accessible to all community members right here at Lake Fork Stables.
Committed to Thoroughbred Aftercare
Thoroughbred Aftercare is an important part of our mission and we are proud to be the only Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredited organization in East Texas and one of only three in the whole state! Using retired racehorses as lesson horses helps to ensure that they have second careers after racing.
It is our goal for them to be ambassadors of the breed, proving that the Thoroughbred is suitable as a lesson horse, kid horse, and family horse. Learn more about our Thoroughbred residents here.
