Schmidt Ranch 3743 S Mulberry Drive, St. George, UT 84790

"This facility is spectacular. A must-see. If you need temporary or long-term horse stable board in St. George, this is your most affordable place. They know their stuff, aren't overbearing, and have a ton of room with automated keyed entry. Lovely. Highly recommend."

"I started taking lessons from the owner, Shauna, about a month ago and I have loved every minute of it! Shauna is a fantastic trainer and takes very good care of her own horses and the horses boarded there. Shauna is great to work with my individual needs as a rider and its obvious that she wants each student to excel. I have felt nothing but welcome every time I go to ride, I absolutely recommend Haskell Riding Academy!"

"I took riding lessons, then dressage lessons from Shauna, also participated in an endurance event under her care. Shauna is knowledgeable on a wide range of equine events, sports, and methodologies. She’s well rounded and very personable! She can take you anywhere you want to go with lessons and training. Excellent instructor for children and adults. Very kind and patient. She cares about her horses and takes phenomenal care of them. I appreciate from Shauna her unbiased approach to all types of horses and all areas of equine events/sports."

"Like so many little girls, I was infatuated with horses. I found myself consumed with them through books, figurines, and tv shows. I begged my mom for lessons growing up, but she couldn’t afford them. However, she signed me up for a couple of trail rides and they’re a core memory. Two decades later and my affinity for horses hasn’t wavered, mostly because I moved to Saint George—a town where I’m surrounded by these gentle giants in every direction I go. Naturally, my 5-year-old daughter loves horses too and wanted to take lessons. I took her to a different facility that showed a bunch of red flags, so we didn’t go back there. Then, I found Shauna at Haskell Riding Academy and instantly clicked with her when we met. What started as an inquiry for my daughter ended up with me taking lessons instead. I started riding with Shauna a month ago and it has quickly become my favorite form of therapy. My stress instantly turns to stillness at the stable gates. Anyone can benefit from being in the presence of these sensitive souls—they’re very healing beings. I highly recommend getting lessons with Shauna. Learning a new skill as an adult can be intimidating, but she’s very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate how particular she is about doing things. She’ll always explain why she does it a certain way, and it always makes perfect sense. There’s a reason her horses age gracefully, like Tag who I’ve been riding. He’s in such great shape, I would have never guessed he’s 28! Also, some of her horses have blue eyes/pink skin and they wear protective masks to reduce their risk of cancer. These are just a couple testaments to how much she loves and cares for her horses. Here’s a photo of me and my daughter, Shauna let her join me at the end of my lesson. It was such a nice surprise, my daughter loved it. I’m looking forward to growing as a rider and can’t wait for my daughter to start riding when she’s a bit older. I know she’ll be in good hands with Shauna!"

"We went to Shana today with our 6yo girl and had such amazing afternoon with her and Emma which was the instantly beloved horse from my daughter. She had a training lesson by Shana how to ride the right way and all the way down to Last Vegas today my daughter was talking just about it. Thank you so much Shana for giving us the opportunity to met you and your husband and to had such a great training and on top, such a great child care :) She is missing Emma like hell :( Stay such lovely as you are - hope we see us again - maybe in Berlin ;)"
