Stalls at Strides Horsemanship
Our stalls are finally ready for horses! It’s been such a journey seeing this property come together ❤️🐴
Lessons on our lesson horses continue year round in our covered arena 🐎
Beautiful Riders Growing At Strides
One thing not often talked about is that when you are learning the progression is not always a straight upwards trajectory. Sometimes we can feel like we’re plateauing and all of the sudden AHA it all comes together. The important thing is to keep showing up and keep your self talk and thoughts about your horse positive.
Happy Friday! 🌸☀️
May we all love our horses enough to become better riders
Our curriculum starts from the ground up, of course just after learning to get on comes learning to get off! Fabulous emergency dismount demonstrated by this Strides student mounted on Instructor Elizabeth’s wonderful horse Pepper
Learning through play!
Working on proper fundamentals lies at the core of our program, but children often learn to implement balance through play.
We loved Instructor Samantha’s pool noodle games yesterday.
Getting ready to jump with Instructor Samantha!
Did you know Instructor Samantha is also a poet? You can order her book “The River In My Mind” on Amazon
Instructor Samantha working with a student on more advanced maneuvers. We love seeing our student’s progress! This young lady has been putting in the work and it shows.
We often get asked if our lessons are suitable for all levels of riders, and the answer is yes! We have spectacular beginner and advanced instruction at Strides.
☀️🐴Watching our students grow is the most rewarding experience! 🐴☀️
Horsemanship & Horseback riding right here in Longview WA.
First time getting into a canter! Couldn’t be more proud of these students for working so diligently to make the first canter look this good. Is there any better feeling?😍
Comment below telling us about the first time you cantered on a horse!
Does it get any cuter than this!?
All ages, skill levels, and disciplines are welcome at Strides Horsemanship Riding School.
We offer both Western & English riding lessons and have both children & adults in our program.
Happy Tuesday!
Longview WA Riding School Foal Update
We’re looking forward to giving our students the experience of raising some baby horses this year. Enjoy this video of rescue horse “Irish” sunning herself. We didn’t know Irish was pregnant when she came to us, so we do not know her due date.
We will have 3 foals born this year and can’t wait to share all of the adorable foal photos and videos! We do plan to have some open houses late in the summer where the public can come meet the babies.
Thursday night campers, here’s your stall area
