Rolling Hills Riding Center offers one-hour indoor or outdoor arena rentals at its Dubois (Rolling Hills) location — a straightforward, rider-focused hour of solid saddle time in rural southern Indiana. Located at 5814 N 735E, Dubois, IN, this affordable $10 session invites riders of nearly any experience to bring their own horse and work on basics, practice patterns, or simply enjoy time in the ring. The arena option makes this a reliable choice when weather is variable: the indoor space shelters lessons and practice from rain or wind, while the outdoor arena exposes riders to wide prairie light and the sound of hawks circling overhead.
What feels simple is actually what makes the offering stand out. Rolling Hills is not a commercial riding school pushing packaged lessons; it’s a community resource where local equestrians keep their skills sharp and visitors can plug into authentic farm-ranch rhythm. The property sits in the patchwork of fields and oak-hickory edges that define southern Indiana’s agricultural landscape, and the rings are set on level footing suitable for flatwork, basic jumping drills, or a relaxed lope for confident riders. Shellie serves as a point of contact for bookings and questions at 930-333-7651, and staff make time-zone expectations clear: bookings operate on Eastern Time.
Practical advantages matter here. Groups are limited—maximum two groups and 12 riders on the trail at once—so arena time feels uncrowded and safe. There’s no mystery about what to bring: your horse, your saddle, and appropriate tack. Riders should be at least 12 years old. Cancellations within 24 hours forfeit refunds but can be rescheduled, so plan weather-sensitive rides with a buffer. The rental model is wallet-friendly, ideal for people looking to practice specific skills, warm up before a lesson elsewhere, or introduce a horse to arena work without committing to a longer program.
For visitors staying in nearby Jasper or Ferdinand, a session here is an efficient way to keep riding in your routine while traveling. Photographers will appreciate the clean lines of the arena against low Indiana skies; charity shows and local clinics sometimes use these rings, making them a small hub for regional equestrian life. Whether you’re polishing a pattern, rehabbing a horse, or chasing the simple joy of an hour under saddle, Indoor/Outdoor Arena Rentals at Rolling Hills offers honest, practical, and affordable arena time in a genuine rural setting.
