Horse Stables - Horse Boarding - Trail Riding 

Birthday Parties - Summer Camp  - Horseplay of Gastonia 

Since 1997, Jim Browning has been helping boys & girls in Gaston County learn about horse behavior, horse care & building skills on how to ride a horse.   Numerous children have visited Horseplay over the years through birthday parties & riding lessons.  Many have enjoyed their experience so much that they  choose to purchase or lease a horse & begin to learn about  horses on a day by  day basis.  Some of the young girls & boys that you see at local rodeo shows have started out  or continue to ride at  Horseplay of Gastonia .  If you are interested in visiting for a trail ride  or need information about boarding your horse -  Laura (704) 689-0980  or Jim Browning @  704-713-1641.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced rider, there is a horse here for you to ride.   So that we can be prepared for you, Please call in advance for trail rides or lessons. (visit the trail ride page for more info)

Camp Thunderbird - Lake Wylie leased approximately 15 horses from Horseplay this summer (2010 & 2011) and gave almost 3,700 young riders an experience that they will never forget.  We hope that all the kids had a great time with these horses & were able to learn and grow thru their experience. 

"Dirt" visiting the watering hole - plenty of water is needed, especially during the hot summer months.
