Mountain Valley Equestrian Center

I have been at Mountain Valley for about 3 years now and I am so grateful to have found this wonderful barn! Kate is very experienced and has taught me so much in this amount of time. Because of her I’ve become a more confident rider. It is a wonderful facility.

I am lucky enough to be able to call Mountain Valley my home for the past 3 years! I have been given so many opportunities to better myself with the help of Kate. I would highly recommend MVEC to anyone who is looking for a great home. All the horses are taken care of extremely well. Kate offers up so many opportunities for any rider of any level. Kate is very talented herself and is there to share all of her knowledge and experience with anyone who walks through the doors.

I can't say enough great things about MVEC. The outstanding, knowledgeable, and professional level of care and training provided by Kate Hornbecker is unparalleled in the area (and well beyond). Between the access to miles of local trails, the opportunities to school your horses at some of the farther away venues, and trips to the beach Kate always looks for ways to help you educate your horse outside of the "boring" arena work. The lesson horses are all incredible teachers, and each one has something special about them to help you grow as a rider. If you're looking for a great place to board your horse, or if you don't have one of your own (yet :) ) but still want to learn to ride or enhance your capabilities, I recommend MVEC!

I have been with mountain valley for almost 5 years now. I can't say enough about how well the horses are taken care of. Kate is a very experienced trainer she puts her heart into every horse. What a wonderful place to be a part of as an employee and border. I am grateful to be a member of the Mountain Valley Family.
