The girls were involved with getting their horses ready to ride, including scrapping the dirt from out of their hooves. It was clear that the staff were teaching little girls how to be around the animals, how to care for them and how to respect them. The instructions were simple and clear; the number of staff in the ring to provide any necessary attention was amazing. The look on the faces of the little girls was priceless!

So many memories with the Silver Buckle Saddle Club. I didn't live here in the early incarnation of…read morethis club but certainly showed plenty of horses at this Plymouth location. It's fun to see the juxtaposition of the horse arena and the neighboring communities. Sadly that same proximity may make it harder for people to experience horse shows in the metro area. Silver Buckle Saddle Club was founded in Plymouth, MN in 1964. By 1973, Plymouth was transforming into a suburb and the saddle club was forced to relocate to the northwest corner of Plymouth, it's current location on County Rd 47. This land was owned by Silver Buckle's founding father, Harlan Peterson (1922-2015). Harlan and the membership built the beautiful outdoor arena that has hosted horse shows for the last 44 years. When I stopped out at the property it does look like the saddle club is again facing the problem of urban sprawl. ​ Silver Buckle hosts WSCA shows, UBRA/ PEWC barrel races, annual trail rides, and other special events for their members. The saddle club also partners with Hennepin Hoofbeats 4H club to provide a safe arena for the club to host horse shows and mounted meetings. Stop in and see one of the horse shows (schedule usually on their website) during the show season, you'll enjoy seeing the horses and riders.

They have gone to horse camp in past years, but had not ridden a trail. Staff were awesome. We had Wyatt as our guide. He was great with the girls and with explaining things. He kept them confident and informed and gave us the play-by-play during the ride. This was for my 9 year old daughter's birthday present, and they remembered to congratulate her. I appreciate that communication from office to the guide and we had no complaints at all. Would highly recommend and we plan on future rides.

You get to know about the horse you're riding, and they give you a horse that's compatible with your riding experience. The only downside of our entire experience here was that it was a bit difficult to book. When we called, we were constantly redirected to call back again. But we got it figured out and everything went fine.
