1. Wants to learn more about horse training (relationship and positive reinforcement based training)
2. Believes in working for what you want

Weather isn't so great for being out at the barn right now, but it will get better! Don't wait to book a trial lesson for our new horse-first lesson program, our limited spaces will fill quickly as soon as the weather improves!

I promise we will give her a good grooming to help her feel better.

๐ŸŒท๐ŸดSpring 2026 Programs are Official! ๐Ÿฅณ

In order to re-center our focus on the horses' wellbeing, we are no longer offering traditional riding lessons. Instead we will be offering different, horse-centric educational opportunities for students of all ages. These *new* programs will begin mid-March with our Spring semester.

Mondays 3-4pm: Horse Science (max 6 students, recommended for ages 12-18)
Weekly lesson on a horse-related topic, taught through hands-on learning. Topics include: behavior, nutrition, colors & genetics, tack & equipment, training and more!
HK students can get off the bus here - students who arrive early (High School bus arrives closer to 2:30) will have opportunities to work on school work or help with farm chores.

Schedule anytime: Horsemanship Lessons - Private or Small Group (2-4 students)
Replaces our more traditional riding lessons with a horse-first approach.
Students will learn to read and understand horse behavior, use mindfulness and movement techniques to better show up for the horses, and learn grooming, tacking, training and riding through safe, force-free methods
Optional, levels based online programming is included for free - approximately 1 hour per level (students will complete levels at their own rate, no more than 1 per week).

Reach out with questions or go to our website to sign up! (make sure to select a plan if you want to enroll for more than one session)

The herd was grateful for their shed during today's storm! And I was grateful that Farmer Garrett moved it down so I didn't have to walk too far in the rain to visit them!
