Turning Point Stable

  • At Turning Point we emphasize skill-building exercises through work, play, riding and socialization. Great effort is made to provide an individualized experience that will be suitable for that day, including instruction in a broad spectrum of horsemanship skills, taught by experienced horsemen and horsewomen.

  • We offer one volunteer per person for ninety-minute visits in our Capable Kids program. An adult must accompany each child. Services are offered free of charge by caring volunteer staff to any youth who may find benefit from being here.

  • For a small fee Turning Point also offers group and family classes and courses designed to promote communication, confidence and healthy connections.

  • Turning Point is a RIDE of Rochester Rehabilitation Site and an Official Program Site!
