PSA: Changes coming in July ✨
Kaity here 🙋♀️ July is going to be a “makeup” month, so if you prepaid for a session that hasn’t been used, now is your chance! I will be gone for the first two weeks of July, and then I will only have availability early Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
PM me to schedule or to ask any questions. All other sessions outside of makeup sessions will be paused until August.
Thanks for understanding, and stay cool out there!

Here’s an interesting topic that’s been brought up recently: what type of horse makes a great therapy horse (specifically for non mounted type work)?
I personally value a sensitive or emotionally intelligent horse over any physical quality they may have.
Scroll through the slides to read more about examples of what I mean by this...

Everyone starts somewhere with horses. Maybe you:
✅ Bought your first horse at age 40+
✅ Started riding at age 5
✅ Worked your way into the horse world because you weren’t ‘born into it’
Wherever your story starts, I want to hear it! Here’s your chance to share in the comments where you started, and where you’re at now ⬇️

Our first horse camp is THIS Saturday from 8-11am! 🙌 We still have a couple of spots open. Comment “horse camp” if you want to secure a spot ⬇️
Here’s why we don’t compete….Alma Vida Horse Ranch focuses on relationship building & connection with horses through equine assisted learning and horse therapy ♥️ We emphasize going slow & taking our time to learn each horse’s personality and quirks. One thing that sets us apart from most other equine programs is that we DONT put pressure on anyone to perform, compete, or “do” anything that they’re not ready for. We DO encourage our students to advocate for themselves and go at a pace that they feel comfortable with 🙌We have morning availability from 7am-11am starting soon. DM us today to book your spot. We are an ESA approved vendor!

TRAINING BOARD: Training board includes 5 rides/week, plus daily ground work. Training board is recommended for those who need their young horse started under saddle, or for horses who need their training re-started. Kaity works closely with each horse, ensuring that they have a solid foundation of trust, communication, and confidence. Kaity enjoys helping horses become a safe and enjoyable ride for their owner!

Equine Assisted Learning: a.k.a. EAL, It’s an excellent way to develop a relationship and interact with horses without being in the saddle. EAL sessions are carefully constructed in a way to help people feel safe enough to process their emotions, gather their attention for extended periods of time, and relax.
