Welcome to Saturn Stables of St. Catharines - where "just Horsin' around in Pelham" is our pass-time and we hope to make it yours as well!
Located on the Niagara Escarpment, just minutes from St. Catharines, Welland, Fonthill and Vineland, and just 20 minutes from Niagara Falls. The Bruce Trail divides our property, and when riding in our huge sand ring, you get a beautiful, nature-filled view. It's common to be sharing the riding area with the local deer population - and there are a lot of them. Don't worry - the horses are accustomed to the deer!
We offer boarding, riding lessons, public trail rides, horse camps (March Break, Summer & Christmas), birthday parties, clinics and more!
