How to have Happy Horses

Azteca Stables believes in letting horses be horses!  All horses run in small herds with other horses they get along with outside, rather than living in stalls. However, stalls are available for use during inclement weather. We specialize in Horse Boarding, Horse Training and Riding Lessons. Whether you compete, trail ride, arena ride, or just want to “play with your horse” in the round pen , you are always welcome here with your horse. Horses like a happy,  friendly environment and we find a happy horse is content and wants to please! 


Azteca Stables is owned and managed by Donna Murphy. Donna and her husband Michael live on the premises so the horses are watched and monitored closely. She has over 40 years of professional experience and horses are her passion, her love and her life. She started riding at age 5 and has never stopped.  Her love for the equine continues to grow. 


Azteca Stables is located in the central Texas Hill Country, in the Canyon Lake area, between Austin and San Antonio. The area  is beautiful with hill country vistas and Canyon Lake is nearby with awesome horse trails, and yes, you can swim with your horse!

Our Belief/Mission: Our Boarding Stable treats Horses like family!

We believe laughter and enjoyment are equally important for both horses and people to live a well-balanced and joyous life.  Horses and riders  can  take to the trails, work in the arena ,  play in the round pen,  swim in the lake, and sometimes even join in local area parades; all while sharing stories and laughter! Come join us!

About the Azteca breed

Did you know that Azteca is an actual breed of Horses?

 About the Azteca Horse 


Donna's  love for the Azteca horse is how she came to name her facility

Azteca  Stables.  The Azteca is a breed that came out of breeding the American

Quarter horse with the Spanish Andalusian. Donna  bred her first Azteca horse, Shanti in 1989, and has raised  a number of  foals and fillies. Donna trained Shanti to be very  versatile, she  did dressage, drill team, trail riding, endurance  riding, parades, and then Shanti became a broodmare.  One filly was  named by the International Andalusian Horse and Lusitano Association a  Grand Champion in halter.
