Echo Creek Riding Academy has almost 20 horses of all sizes, ages, and levels to teach you about the wonderful world of horses and riding. Each horse is an individual teacher in their own right. Our horses are loved and well care for.

You will ride one of them or you may bring your own to ride in our large all weather footed riding ring.

In our ring is an extensive collection of jumps. These jumps enable the riders of different levels to preform exercises to increase their skills. For example cavalettis, and weaving posts are for all levels of rider to work on steering and balance. For the jumping rider there are grids, courses, a circle of jumps, and good size coop.

In addition to riding in the ring, lessons may be taught in one of our many pastures on our fifty acre farm. In the future we plan to build a mini cross country course.

For the family and friends of our students there is an observation booth next to the ring. The barn has a lovely porch with a view of the ring too. On the cold or hot days there is a heated and air conditioned lounge. Friends and family are welcome to watch the lesson.

Upon completion of the lesson, riders care for their horses and their equipment. The horses are washed down in our wash rack, which is equipped with hot and cold water.

After cooling out and putting their horse away, the riders must clean their tack. They may clean their tack in our heated and air conditioned tack room.

In the tackroom is tack specifically fitted to each horse. Each horse needs to be as comfortable as possible to carry you during your riding time.

Echo Creek is in the country 6 miles north of the town of Hillsborough. Echo Creek is convenient to Hillsborough, Durham, Chapel Hill, Mebane and Roxboro.

Come enjoy riding at our beautiful facility.
