Open to ages 4 and up, this is a perfect opportunity for kids, adults, or families to enjoy time in the saddle together. Lessons are just $50, with time slots available from 1:00 to 3:30 pm.

Just want on the ground horse time?

Sounds good!

Spend your time grooming - no riding required. For kids that might be nervous around horses or adults not ready to climb into the saddle, you can enjoy the entire session learning how to groom your horse. If you're up for leading instead of riding, you can enjoy a short leading lesson instead. We value comfort and confidence for all riders, whether that's on the ground or in the saddle. After booking, feel free to send us a message about your preference and we will match you with the best suited horse and instructor for your session.
