Before You Ride - Basic Requirements All riders must fill out both the Medical Information Form and Release & Waiver of Liability (see below) forms and have them signed (if rider not over 18, then a parent or legal guardian should sign) before riding at CV Stables. Updates to the two forms including contact information and health insurance should be provided annually to ensure proper communication in case of an emergency. To provide the maximum safety for riders, we require ASTM/SEI certified helmets with a harness and shoes with a distinguishable heel. Stable regulations forbid non-professional riders from jumping without the supervision of an instructor. It is also recommended that all riders, owners and parent read the posted Code of Conduct procedures for CV Stables.

Outside Riding Facilities CV Stables offers a variety of outdoor riding rings. Rings are dragged with a tractor and harrow on a daily basis to provide optimum footing for the horses.   The Magna Graduate ring (230 x 240 x 170) is equipped with state-of-the art all-weather footing and automatic sprinkler systems. The River Road ring (200 x 90) serves as both an outdoor riding and flexible turnout ring. In addition, a five-acre unfenced grass historic Polo Field is available to horses. Located across Epping Road from the enclosed riding rings, it is open for grazing and leisurely riding. Please respect posted signs if Polo Field is closed due to slippery / unsafe riding conditions.

Inside Riding Facilities We offer a 200 x 80 indoor partially-heated riding ring. The ring is unattached from the barn and offers the perfect place for exercising your horse during the winter months or on a rainy day. The ring is dragged and also watered on a regular basis to keep dust to a minimum. During the winter, scheduled riding lessons have indoor ring priority. Give lessons ‘right of way’ consideration if exercising your horse. Based on veterinary advice, we recommend winter riding only in temperatures above 20 degrees.  If the temperatures drops below 20 degrees, hand-walking horses in the barn is a suggested alternative.

Trail Riding The unique setting of CV Stables offers miles of picturesque riding trails for horses. Trails include a short neighborhood path perfect for “cool down” after a rigorous exercise or longer paths through wooded areas and along the Chagrin River.

Annual CV Stables Fall Horse Show CV Stables hosts an annual horse show held in the Magna Graduate ring in early September. Celebrating its 100th year in 2009, the show offers a United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) "C" rating and is recognized by the Ohio Professional Horseman's Association (OPHA).
