"In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different"
- John Steinbeck
June is such a vibe - we're lighter as we're trade in raincoats and boots for lighter clothes, and our energy is up after spending so much time outdoors and getting that vitamin D.
Hello, Summer!

Our program provides exceptional instruction that prepares our students to become comfortable as riders, and comfortable with horses under a wide range of conditions. Students will learn the basics of a horse's nature and temperament, as well as how to effectively and safely, partner with a horse on the ground and in the saddle. We work with our students to improve their practical knowledge of horses and horse handling, while they learn new riding skills with an emphasis toward learning "feel" for the horse.
We tailor our lessons to the skill level and ability of our riders, therefore whether students are recreational riders or studying to be professionals they will develop a deeper knowledge of horsemanship and riding skills with every lesson.
Lessons will include:
Basic horse care
Haltering your horse
Horsemanship/ horse-care - such as:
Hoof care
Grooming
Ground work with lead rope and working with a horse at liberty
