✨ New at Greenbriar! ✨

We’re excited to introduce our Horse Training Classes to our Greenbriar community and to the public — a chance to get hands-on experience in the barn and learn what it really takes to develop a horse’s mind and body. 🐴

Whether you drop in for a single class or join us every week, you’ll gain valuable insight, grow your confidence, and be part of each horse’s journey. Don’t just ride — unlock your potential and discover what’s possible when you step into the role of trainer!

We can’t wait to see you there! Save your spot here: https://greenbriarridingacademy.com/horse-training-classes-page

We would like to wish Savannah a happy retirement! We thank her for the last few years of teaching our students good horsemanship. Savannah was known for her good attitude and a rather bouncy trot. She has returned to her owner, Shawnna, and will relax on a nice grass pasture in beautiful NE Iowa. Thanks for helping so many people, young and old, learn about horses! We love you Savannah

🩷 Let Them Have a Horse...

Let them have a horse, let them ride,
Let them learn with dirt stained pride.
Give them reins and room to grow,
Show them truths only horses know.

Let them feel the morning chill,
Boots in stirrups, heart be still.
Let them fight for what they earn,
Through every fall, let them return.

Let them brush and braid and mend,
Make the barn their second home.
Let them whisper, laugh, and cry,
Beneath the endless, open sky.

Let them know the work is tough,
That love alone is only one part.
That feed needs hauling, stalls need cleaned...
That dreams are earned by hands that work.

Let them feel the wind in their hair,
And the freedom only horses share.
For horses teach what words cannot...
Strength, respect, and all they’ve got.

So when they ask, don’t think twice,
The price is high, but so’s the gain.
Because without a horse, they’ll never know, the kind of love that helps them grow.

When it's too cold outside we do horsemanship lessons in the warm viewing room. Had a great week of learning.

Some of our riding students and their families joined us Saturday to make Valentine's for our horses' stalls. Great fun was had by all!
