Our goals for riders and horses include safety, progression through education and, of course, fun. We provide customized training programs for horse and rider and welcome the opportunity to discuss your aspirations with you. Whether your goal is to compete at a certain level, or to improve your riding so that you enjoy your horse more, our staff has the experience to map out realistic benchmarks and help you design a program to meet your expectations. We closely monitor horses and riders so that they progress at their own pace. Moving up too quickly risks loss of confidence. Moving up too slowly invites boredom. We feel that longevity of your career and that of your horse is paramount. Lessons and training rides for your horse, part of Total Care Board, may be arranged so that you and your horse gain the maximum benefit from our talented staff. Country Acres offers many opportunities for showing, from on-site shows to local and regional “AA” shows. Our riders are extremely active and successful competitors at all levels. Please see our calendar for shows we attend as well as those held at the farm Country Acres Hours: Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 919-851-1171 countryacres@macnairscountryacres.com Hours may vary based on seasonal changes, weather conditions, and/or holiday schedules.
