Welcome to Blue Wave Stables website.  I want to thank everyone for all your support.  Our growth is due to the positive energy each member and boarder brings to the barn.  

Building a website is an interesting task and new to me.   Please contact me if you have ideas, articles, topics  or pictures you want to display.  My daughter Shea handles the facebook page. Shea always wants pictures as well. Please email them to us if you visit and take pictures.  We would love to post them to our facebook site.   Our contact information, policies, forms and general paperwork type stuff is located under the  under the “About Us” Tab.   Under the contacts tab you will find a suggestion area.  In addition you can email or text us at   bluewavestable@gmail.com  or  704-847-3424. 

The Calendar will give you the  planned events.  Days that are highlighted have planned events if you pass your cursor over the dates it will tell you what is planned and the time.  If you want to confirm or cancel an appointment please call me or text me directly. I also am trying a new software and service.  You can book your own appointment under the appointment tab.  I will contact you after you book the appointment.  If you have not heard from me within 24 hours of booking please assume I did not get the appointment request.   It is a new software package so I am working through all the kinks.  If you’re concerned just text me and I will confirm your appointment.  Text is the best way to reach me. 

To our shock when we did the Charlotte Observer Daily Deal  for trailrides we had over 390 people purchase certificates.  We are very excited to know that the community loves trail-riding as much as us.  To that end we will be expanding our trail-riding program.  We thank the community for supporting us.  We look forward to meeting you all!

What is the  Barn Membership Program?  It is like owning your own stable of horses that you can come and ride at any time.   We will be expanding that as well.   For a monthly fee you can join and ride  any of the available participating horses.  Boarding and Barn Membership information are under the same tab. 

WHO ARE WE AND HOW DID WE GET OUR NAME?

Blue Wave Stable got it’s name from my daughter Shea’s horse Cool Blue Wave.  Cool is an incredibly sweet, beautiful, smart minded, Blue Roan Paint. While I have owned horses on and off for the past 40 years, we started our own boarding stable in February of 2009.  However it was December 2010 when we were blessed with the opportunity to acquire the lease on the adjoining property that tripled our acreage and stall capacity. .  that made my dream of having a family run stable go from a childhood dream to an achievable opportunity.

In my minds eye I can see a stable where horse lovers and their friends can come and feel at home.  A place that is low stress, relaxed, clean,and safe for our children.  A place that gives the children the freedom of space and being outside yet adult supervision is intact.  A place that is  fun and  filled with positive calm yet assertive energy all rolled into one.  A Stable where all the horses, boarded or not, are cared and loved as if they were our own.  A place that is unique in that the golden social policy is to never speak unkindly about the horses or people while on the property.  A very true and honest heartfelt attempt to achieve a drama free barn.  I truly believe it is obtainable! 

Blue Wave Stable boards horses, provides English and Western horseback riding lessons, guides trail-rides and has a work to ride program.  We are non-competitive stable. Our focus is through education and practice we can pass the gift of  gaining the respect and control of horses first on the ground then the saddle  by using natural horsemanship techniques.  We very much focus on riding for fun and in doing so we provided additional services including but not limited to0 birthday parties, cookouts, trail-rides, clinics, camps, weekend trail-riding/camping…you name it…if the fun involves horses we are interested.  Give us a call and let us see if we can accommodate your horse desired request. 

 Blue Wave Stable is a proud supporter of  Healing Horses.  We have adopted several horses.  Please stop by and meet Mandela the Belgium Draft that Healing Horses Rescued.  See our H3R Tab for more information. There are so many horses that need our help.  Any donation is much appreciated. If you are considering purchasing a horse, please consider adopting.  You can find plenty of available horses on the Healing Horses Facebook website.

We are new so we would very much enjoy meeting you. Feel free to stop by and see if you do not agree that we have a very friendly relaxed approach to enjoying the whole experience of riding and caring for horses.  I believe our herd is in on it too. Visitor’s often comment on the calm demeanor of our horses.     Come out and see if you don’t agree. 

If you take lessons or are unable to afford to ride, we have a work to ride program as well.  See the Work To Ride Tab. 

Something for everyone…

In-case you have not heard, April 16th 2011 Utah our  Registered Belgium Warm-blood, bred to the famous Belgium Warm-blood Stud Gatsby gave birth to healthy full term twins. This is an extremely exciting and rare event.  Only 1 in 10,000 horses give birth to twins and less than 1% of those births do all three, the mare and both twin foals survive.   Click on the NEWS tab for pictures and updates as to what is going on at Blue Wave Stables!

The Blog roll the right has URL buttons to different website locations that maybe helpful for you.  Below is a weather link to help you plan your outing.  We only ride when weather conditions are conducive to safe riding for the horse and rider.  We will reschedule all planned events if it is raining or if the ground is excessively saturated.  Please call or text if you are unsure.
