Our story

Clever Horse Ranch began as a family passion—just a few horses, some open land, and a love for sharing the joy they bring. We're located in Cleveland, Tennessee, and while we’re still working on growing into a full-time business, our hearts are fully in it

We offer riding lessons, trail rides, and horse-themed birthday parties both here at the ranch and at your location. We’ve even started offering photoshoots with our trusted photographer, Diana Frick. Each step we take is focused on giving people a safe, fun, and memorable experience with horses. We may be a small operation, but we’re growing every day and we’re so excited to have you along for the ride.

Our history

Clever Horse Ranch didn’t start with horses at all—just cows and a quiet piece of land. For a long time, nothing much happened here. It wasn’t a business, just a farm that sat still. Then came an idea. After some time and a little convincing, the first horse joined the herd. That one horse changed everything. What was once just pasture and cattle started to grow into something more. Now, Clever Horse Ranch is slowly becoming a place where people can enjoy riding lessons, birthday parties, and time spent around animals. We’re still growing and learning, but we’re proud of how far we’ve come—and we’re just getting started.
