Secret Pride Stables, LLC.
Welcome to our Bulletin Board!
Welcome 2025! We always enjoy kicking off a New Year. Snowy winter days give us a time to sit back, revitalize and reorganize. We have a great team of horses going in to this new year and look forward to the memories and training progressions to be made by our SPS horses and riders!
We welcome our newest horse Solstice to our program and he is very happy to be here and settling in nicely.
Our Secret Pride's Mounted Archers are doing great things in their training and gradings and we can not wait for Spring to welcome more archers and completing a new mounted archery chute alongside the creek/paddock woodline.
