Horsemanship Programs

Pick Your Program

We are excited to announce that we are offering both a 4-lesson program and a more extensive 12-lesson program designed to cater to a variety of riders' needs. Lessons do not need to be scheduled consecutively, which provides flexibility in managing your time. However, it is important to note that the 4-lesson program must be completed on a month-to-month basis, while the 12-lesson term program should ideally be completed within a span of 3 months to ensure a consistent learning experience.

We have also introduced a Home School program with a short “Mini” course and a 20-week course, along with a new Working Student Program.

Our horsemanship programs are filled with fun and engaging activities from January 1st through July 1st. After this initial period of excitement, we take a short break to recharge and prepare for the next sessions. We will resume our programs during the second week of September and continue offering them until the middle of December. This schedule allows riders to fully enjoy their time with us while also ensuring they have ample opportunity to grow and develop their skills throughout the year.

Women’s Programs

Ages: 18-80+ (New to Experienced) 45-90 minute classes

For many, working with horses is a dream come true, rekindling a passion from their youth. Whether you're returning to riding after many years or fulfilling a lifelong dream, the joy and therapeutic benefits of connecting with these magnificent animals are unparalleled.

Not everyone aims for the show arena. For some, the goal is to feel secure and confident on the trail or to enjoy the health benefits that come with it.

Interacting with horses offers numerous benefits for both mind and body. It helps reduce stress, boosts self-esteem, assists with anxiety, and engages the mind. Horseback riding strengthens various muscle groups, provides a cardiovascular workout, and improves posture. While it might seem demanding, the reward is leaving your session with a big smile and a deep sense of well-being.

The Women's program includes the comprehensive topics of equine explorers with customization based on the learner's goals. As the rider progresses, lessons will lengthen to 2 hours, allowing time to practice skills in a relaxed atmosphere.
