Why Families Love Star Ridge Stables
Why I Created This Camp
Hi, I’m Stella Prescott — founder of Star Ridge Stables here in Selma, NC.
When I created Star Ridge Stables, my dream was to give kids a place where they could learn, grow, and feel at home with horses. Over the years I’ve watched campers arrive shy and unsure, and leave with confidence, new skills, and friendships they’ll carry for life.
Our Summer Day & Overnight Horse Camps are more than just riding lessons, they’re a safe, welcoming space where kids can discover the magic of horses, learn responsibility, and have fun outdoors while being guided by caring, certified instructors.
It’s my passion and my promise to make every camper feel supported, encouraged, and proud of what they accomplish. I can’t wait to welcome your child to the barn this summer!

FAQs
Where is Star Ridge Stables located?
We are conveniently located off of Hwy 70 at 726 WC Braswell Rd, Selma NC. When you arrive, we
are the first barn on the left as you pull onto the property. Please park in the grass area where you see
other cars. Do not follow the driveway all the way to the back — that will take you to the owner’s
private home.
What is the student to instructor ratio?
Classes range from 1:1 to 5:1. Small classes allow for the individual attention needed to develop skills
and ability.
Do I have to own my own horse?
No, you do not have to own a horse to take lessons or show. We own a special string of school horses
and ponies.
Do I need my own equipment? What do I or my child need to wear?
Please wear long pants — stretch pants, leggings, or blue jeans all work well. Also, wear a shoe with a
small heel (like a boot). Tennis shoes or flat-soled shoes are not safe for riding.
We will provide you with a riding helmet. All riders are required to wear an approved riding helmet
while mounted for safety. (bicycle helmets are allowed)
After your first 3 months all students are required to purchase their own approved ASTM-SEI riding
helmet.
Do I have to compete at horse shows if I take lessons?
No, you do not have to compete at shows. We offer many activities other than showing. We host
"Fun Days" and in-house clinics.
