Select Show Horses (dba Select Riding Academy) - Sheridan, Indiana

This is a wonderful stable with a well developed youth program. We looked at several barns in the area and not only is Select clean and well ran but the instructors and owners are kind, encouraging and supportive. It feels like home to so many of these young riders and they have built such a lovely community of young horse people. I love that my daughter is learning all the skills to ride a horse as well as life skills such as composure, determination, steadfastness, grace and care and compassion for creatures. We are very pleased with Select!

My child loves taking lessons at Select Show Horses. They ask to go almost everyday. They have learned not only how to ride but how to take care of the horse as well. They’re learning to set goals for competitions, responsibilities of taking care of a horse, confidence and so much more. The coaches are patient and kind. The facility is super clean and organized.

We absolutely LOVE Select Riding Academy! The staff is very patient, encouraging, and positive. They encourage team-building while allowing each kid to grow individually at their own pace. My daughter is ALWAYS asking to go to the barn to ride. Definitely the best in town!

My daughter started lessons a few months ago now, and she just loves it! The staff are all super friendly and helpful, and the coaches are very professional. I knew very little about horses and the equestrian world, but we felt welcomed and there is always a kind, knowledgeable answer to our questions. You can tell that everyone involved in the lessons and care of the horses has a true passion for what they do. It’s a very well-run program that is motivating and encouraging for new riders (and their parents!). Highly recommended!

My daughter has been riding at Select for 3 years. She absolutely loves everything about Select Riding Academy! She started out taking lessons which has now turned into showing at competitions. The atmosphere at the barn is so upbeat and positive. The trainers are wonderful and teach more than just how to ride.
They teach you the process of how to get the horse ready to ride and how to take care of them when the lesson is over. My daughter has gained self confidence, responsibility and a strong work ethic. We just love Select Riding Academy!

Our daughter has been riding at Select for just over 2 years. Her riding has improved so much and the instructors are caring, encouraging, and know how to challenge her to do her best. She has learned how to set goals and make a plan to achieve them, gained a better sense of responsibility, and has made some great friends. We have loved our time at Select and look forward to her continuing to ride there.

We started my 6 year old with lessons back in June, my 5 year old and I followed by October. I could not be happier with Select and having them be the start of my kids riding career.
My older one is never more focused than when she's on a horse and I've seen SUCH a growth in her maturity since being control of such a large animal. 5 is still small, but she's learning to be completely fearless at her lessons and has really started to understand what she's capable of.
The trainers have been AMAZING and are great at meeting my kids where they are and working to not only develop their skill, but also their confidence. They are careful to find that balance of letting kids challenge themselves, while also being safe.
The barn is always clean and orderly and it's obvious the horses are well cared for. We love it and couldn't be happier that we found them.

My daughter has been riding at Select Show Horses for at least 5 years now. She absolutely loves it! She considers their barn her second home and her barn friends are her extended family.

She has been riding twice a week for few years now to help hone in her skills and prepare for competitions.

When she rides, she isn’t just at the barn for her lesson, she stays for hours because that is her happy place.

She has done fairly well in the competitions.

Everything about the horse riding sport is beneficial to our youth, in my opinion! It’s hard work that is incredibly healthy all the way around. And they are very welcoming at Select Show. Double thumbs up!
