Our Story
Dan Hobyn Stables was founded with a passion for horses and a commitment to excellence. Our family-owned facility has been providing exceptional care and instruction since 1968. The stables is located in Greenwood, IN and is owned & managed by Dannette & Larry Morgan. "DHS" provides opportunities for instruction and competition in English riding (Eventing and Dressage) and horse management for children and adults. There is an emphasis on a full rounded knowledge of both riding and caring for horses, with safety and good horsemanship being top of mind.
​
Lessons are focused on Eventing (dressage, cross country and show jumping), however flat/dressage only lessons are also available. The stable is home to the White River Valley Pony Club, established in 1978. The barn mirrors the United States Pony Club's core values in riding instruction, safety and horse management knowledge.
​
Who is "Dan Hobyn?" Dan is part of Dannette's first name, and Hobyn means "horse" in old Gaelic language. This is how Dannette came up with the name of Dan Hobyn Stables.
​
DHS is a 40 acre farm with ample galloping lanes, cross country jumps (intro level through training level - with over 100 jumps), stadium jumps, small and large dressage arenas as well as an indoor arena with sand footing. There are 23 stalls, with two large grass turn out pastures, and two smaller dry turn out lots. Horses are fed hay 4 times per day and grained 2 times per day. The facility also has a large secure tack room with an observation area. There are also lockers available for rent located in front of each stall.
