Something Wild Riding School

Are you stuck on a last minute Valentine's gift idea for your significant other or kiddo? What about horseback riding lessons? It's a great new adventure to start with spring incoming.

I can email gift certificates today at 4 if ordered by 3 pm and it's an hour turnaround any time after that. 4 week plus packages offered. We work with all ages 3+ including adults and we're located at Something Wild Riding School in McEwen, TN.

Feel free to pm me to remain anonymous 😉 or comment here if you have any questions!

I was waiting to go too crazy posting this until we had a clearer idea of the weather but it looks like it won't be too bad! Maybe a little wet but we have roofs over the barn and arena so we'll be a-ok!

Have a good date night on Valentine's and let the kiddos do something fun too! Or do a fun activity on their day off Monday! Or both 😉

We are offering something special this time that we have never offered before in honor of spring coming- any current students (had to have come for a lesson in Jan or Feb) can get into these camps at a little discount especially if you do both & any new or returning (haven't ridden since 2024) riders will get a coupon for 20 off their first lesson package with enrollment to the camp(s)!

Let me know if you'd like more info. Ages 6+ with some exceptions made if we know the 5 year old.

We have two camps coming up, finally!

The first one is on Valentine's Day! Kids can come as early as 4 pm, however the core activities (riding, pizza etc) won't start until 5 pm. That way if people can't get here right at 4 thats ok! Also pickup can start as early as 8 pm or as late as 9 pm. We will just need to know ahead of time who is coming and going when. :)

The other one is on president's day! Give the kids something to do while they are off of school! We can also offer a late pick-up for that one for an extra amount on a case by case basis.

Let me know if you have any questions, we are excited for these!

I added a post announcing a couple of future plans in our private FB group and I have more in the works.

Search it up if you'd like to join. It is for any current or very very interested students of the farm.

Children spend 90 minutes at the farm doing various activities such as horse care, sensory activities, crafts, riding, and more.

It is a 4 week commitment, run with guidelines regarding weather.

We are excited to get the next round of classes started. These are some of my favorite things to do in the barn as we do more than ride- they do crafts, sensory activities, play games & more.

Those of you who have been at the farm have probably heard about the trainers challenge coming up... It is conducted with rescue horses with various pasts. This year, Oscar and Melinda have both entered & this morning we got to pick our horses

We both went for the challenge with "pro only" horses and boy are they gonna be a challenge 🥹 but I think they will be worth it!

If you'd like to follow along on Melindas progress with Murphy, you can find the most up to date info by searching and there's even a page to follow

Trooper, and Oscar will have a page too and will be operating under the hashtag

I updated the website to hopefully make it easier to find the info for these programs!

We're excited to get our pony preschool and kinder pony classes going again for the new year!

We have some weather guidelines outlined on the form as for when we will run class or not and have an enclosed room to run a heater in on the chillier days for the unmounted activities.

We are planning to start the week of Jan 27th!

01/07/2025

I created a group for students and parents of the riding school to connect and see the most up to date info. Things such as camp dates and exclusive opportunities will be posted there first. If you're interested in being a part of it, please let me know♥️
