About Us

---

                       Rose Lane Stables Welcomes you!

We are a family of horse people and would love to share our 68-acre Ranch with you. 

History

Our family is heavily involved in education and supporting the 4h and FFA programs since the 1940s. 

My Father Dan Coutolenc was in 4H for many years and was the Chico High FFA president from 1953 to 1955. 

Today Dan's Grandkids continue the tradition of being part of the Butte County 4H Equine Group and the FFA. 

We will donate a spot for kids that live in town and want to do an animal project but don't have the land to do so. 

Freedom Riders of Chico

To continue giving back to our community we have started  the Freedom Riders Program a therapeutic riding program in Chico Ca located at Rose Lane Stables.  

We have found a huge need and have been asked by many to start a program that meets the therapeutic riding needs / horsemanship of Butte County and surrounding areas. 

This program provides horses as a healing therapy to help individuals with different physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. 

We believe that horses have the power to change lives for the better.
