Quick Details
Learn to ride with our excellent, safe, gorgeous school horses. We have an amazing therapeutic facility! Coaching is our passion! We love watching students get the most of their ride. It’s a super confidence builder.
We also offer lease-combo lesson packages. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop a more one-on-one connection with your lease horse/pony. This gives you a sense of what it is like to own your own horse without the high costs.
Lease/lesson students will have opportunity to enter local shows.
Learn to ride Classical Dressage with Carla. She is a competitive Equine Canada coach/trainer and has been riding and coaching students in the Dressage arena for many years. This is a favorite — it is like riding to music and teaching your horse to dance. Dressage riding is a very self-fulfilling discipline for both horse and rider.
This is perfect for riders who have established the basics and would like to challenge themselves and want to improve their jumping skills.
Do you miss horses? Did you ride when you were younger but due to life, be it work, marriage and/or children, it became just a memory? Get back into it with our great, safe horses and a mature, fun-loving atmosphere. Our instructors are patient, supportive and will help you progress at your own pace. Riding can become part of your life again!
This is a perfect opportunity to introduce horses into their lives. Horse therapy is a super self esteem and confidence builder. Students feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment after working with their equine partners. Whether they are coming for their first lesson or have had some lessons before, we guarantee an amazing experience. We also touch on the care and responsibilities of owning a horse. Working student opportunities available.
This is a great way to build self esteem as they learn safety, grooming and riding skills in the ring. A little bit of trail riding and obstacle course is introduced to gain some confidence.
