Horsemanship Classes and Lessons
It doesn't matter what your age or experience level is, it is never too late or early to get in the saddle. If you are interested in learning what being a horseperson is all about, need someone to help fine-tune your skills, or just need a refresher, we are here for you. We specialize in horse connection, young kiddos who are just getting into horses, and adults either just starting or looking to be around horses again after some time off. All of our students learn and practice horsemanship techniques designed to build trust and connection between humans and horses.
Our unique setup also provides us with private trails for students to be able to ride outside during their lessons. Trail riding lessons are available and provide a nice option to allow students to experience what it is like to ride in an outdoor environment. Please fill out our lesson registration form below and we will get back to you with options available at that time.

This is for those equestrians that are ages 4 and up. Students start in level 1 and then can proceed to level 2 when deemed appropriate. Both levels ride inside our arena and outside on the trails depending on the day and what the instructor may have planned. Students learn to tack, lead, and bursh their horses, so time is spent both on the ground and in the saddle during class.
