First of all thank you for being loyal customers and putting your valuable trust in to all of us here at Jan's Rails to Trails Rescue Sanctuary for all of these years. Although we have tried our best to keep the expenses low, our operating cost have increased significantly.. After carefully reviewing our finances we have made the tough decision to increase our prices.

Group lessons $60 per class =
$120 for 2x a month
$240 for 4x a month

Private lessons $80 per rider

New incoming sponsorship $450

We are always here for you so if this causes a problem or you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to us.

We thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Horses need horsemen. It’s that simple. I get asked the same questions over and over again and nobody gets it. What level rider is this horse suitable for? I’ll tell you, the best one she can get, the best horseman that’s willing to buy her. The horse will only ever be as good as the rider. It doesn’t matter if it’s trained to jump hoops of fire, you’re gonna bring it down to your level in no time. Your kid doesn’t need a $15,000 horse if they haven’t already had $15,000 worth of lessons. You can’t buy a violin that will gift you the skill of playing. It’s the same for horses. There is no magic horse, only a love for the animal, and a commitment to learning.

Most of you are so unfair and demanding of the horse you miss the forest for the trees. “I want a horse that rides out alone!!” well guess what, you better be ready to spend a year developing that relationship, that bond, that trust, she’s not a bike, you can’t buy trust.

“I want a horse that can sit and be the same after time off” well friend, this is a commitment to a relationship, not a classic car you take out of the garage twice a year. You can’t buy what your looking for.

“I want a horse my kids can ride” you better be ready to teach your kids how to be horseman, because if the horse has to do it, you’ll likely see the inside of an ambulance, or a morgue.

You can’t buy trust, you cannot buy what comes with building a relationship with an animal over years of dedication.
