It is our mission to keep riders as safe as possible. Horseback riding is considered an extreme sport and unfortunately falls do happen. Horseback riding requires the rider to use a combination of skills, balance, strength, endurance, responsibility, and stamina.

At the same time, the horse is an animal and has its own emotions and fears. It is our mission to create a safe environment where the horse and rider can become a team and work together.

It's important to understand this from the beginning.

Communication is important on both sides. If we ask a rider to do something outside of their comfort zone, we want to know if you feel uncertain and we need you to voice that. At the same time, part of learning is being pushed just enough to where you aren't comfortable but also aren't scared so that you can grow and learn.

Horses are big and saddles are heavy. We tell you this not to scare you away, but so that you are aware. Some people/kids don't realize just how much work there is before you actually get in the saddle.

The benefits, however, is that you get stronger both physically and mentally. You do things you'd never thought you'd do before and grow as a person. There's a reason horses are a great way to teach responsibility and the value of hard work. All students are expected to put in the work and learn horsemanship.

We've seen little miracles happen in kids who put in the work. They get physically stronger, tougher and improve their fine motor skills.
