It Is Never Too Late to Learn
Why adults love it
A lesson that is just for you
An hour that clears your head

Real progress, your pace
Private and semi-private lessons mean we move as fast or as gently as you like, building genuine skill and confidence.
~200 calories
in a 45-minute ride — and a stronger core
Riding at a walk, trot and canter for 45 minutes can burn around 200 calories, and a Journal of Physical Therapy Science study found regular riding measurably improved adults' trunk strength and balance. It is mindfulness and a workout in one.

“Is there a weight limit?” For our horses' welfare we ride people up to 250 lb; reach out and we will happily talk specifics.
