Riding Lessons — A Unique Approach to Equine Education

Our Mounted Program offers riding lessons that blend horseback riding with life-skill awareness and development. Students gain experience in all aspects of equine care, including well-being, responsibility, and commitment. These lessons help cultivate skills such as communication, leadership, teamwork, and responsibility, all while fostering a deep appreciation for horsemanship.

Through our Building Blocks Program, we draw parallels between horsemanship and real-life experiences, encouraging individuals to understand the cause and effect of their actions on themselves and others. Tours are available by appointment—contact us to visit our facilities and see our program in action!
