About us

Hey there! I’m Clever Horse Ranch, a small, family-run place in Cleveland, Tennessee. I was built on a love for horses and creating fun, peaceful experiences for people of all ages. I offer riding lessons for beginners and experienced riders, relaxing trail rides through the countryside, and fun horse-themed birthday parties—either here at the ranch or at your place (we love to travel!). You can also book a photoshoot with our photographer, Diana Frick, to capture special moments with or without horses.
