About
Horseback riding is an astounding and useful sport if you learn how to do it properly. Horsemanship is a term that simply means: the art and practice of riding horses. We believe that horsemanship is a broader term, extending beyond simply riding. Horsemanship is a skill set which encompasses the competent handling, management and riding of horses. Learning how to ride a horse takes practice, and instruction from one of our riding instructors can help. Horseback riding lessons are an excellent way to learn the basics of riding and caring for a horse. As with any new thing you learn, it’s best to start with the basics and move at your own pace. Whether you are six or sixty, we can help.
We enjoy the feeling of peace and fulfilment that our horses bring to people.
