OUR STORY
Blue Oak Stables is more than a boarding and training facility, it’s a place where family, passion, and community come together. Our mission is to help riders and their horses grow, thrive, and reconnect with the simple joys of equestrian life. From the moment you pass through our gates, you’ll feel a sense of welcome, peace, and tradition that makes Blue Oak Stables truly special.
Blue Oak Stables was born from a deep love of horses and the equestrian lifestyle. What began as a personal journey quickly evolved into a vision: to create a space where people of all ages and skill levels could build lasting connections with their horses, each other, and the land around them. In July 2025, that vision became a reality when the Cramer family took the reins and made Blue Oak Stables their home.
Rooted in family values, the stable is designed to be a place where future generations can learn, grow, and explore their passions, whether they revolve around riding, caring for animals, or simply being in nature. Every corner of the property reflects a commitment to balance, belonging, and the belief that there’s something here for everyone.
At Blue Oak Stables, you’ll find more than just top-notch care and training, you’ll discover a supportive environment built on trust, dedication, and the timeless bond between humans and horses.
We invite you to become part of the Blue Oak Stables story.

Erin is a fantastic instructor! She is kind, patient, knowledgeable and has the ability to meet me where I am in my lessons, every ride.
