We have some rare openings this fall for our Intergrated Riding & Horsemanship classes (Levels 1+).

Sande School of Horsemanship provides horseback riding and horsemanship lessons for children and adults. Students can participate in classes weekly or bi-weekly. Instruction time is equally split between riding and on-ground horsemanship in order to develop a solid foundation of riding, horse handling, horsemanship knowledge and care-taking abilities. We have classes for students from all experience levels and provide a low student to teacher ratio.

It was so fun joining the Kiwanis this month!

We started August out with Kassi Euwer, Excutive Director Sande School of Horsemanship sharing what Sande School of Horsemanship brings to our community. Kassi talked about the respect between horse and human, folks there is alot to this relationship! There are programs for youth adults, people with all kinds of abilities and challenges. The development of youth leadership starts with the very youngest! Thank you Kassi and staff for your commitment for this amazing relationship of horse and human.
