Adult Programs

Balance and well-being are difficult to find in our everyday lives.  Finding our balance on a horse can can improve our over all well-being!

You may have ridden years ago, but go away from it when other priorities came your way, or maybe you've never ridden before but it's something you've always wanted to do!  Whatever the case, we've got a class for everyone.  We invite you to take a deep breath, leave your crazy life behind for a couple of hours and share some good times with horses and others that share the same passion as you!

Follow your heart....

 

 

 
Horsemanship 101

 This class is for you if you've always wanted to take some riding lessons but had life get in the way- or you let the kids take the lessons! You may have done a short riding program in the past year here or at another facility and you can't wait to build on those horsemanship skills. We'll make sure that you become comfortable on a horse, learn more than you thought possible, meet some other horse enthusiasts and have a GREAT time!

We'll be working on:

  • Language of the horse

  • Body position and ground work

  • Grooming and tacking up

  • Proper posture and positioning in the saddle so you feel "balanced"

  • Use of your legs and body language as aids to communicate with your horse

  • Psychology of the horse- What is he thinking and how can you be proactive instead of reactive

  • Feeling comfortable in different gaits

  • Feel like you're taking the horse for a ride, NOT the horse taking YOU!

Adult Level II

You're hooked on this thing called riding - and you're discovering that there's more to it than meets the eye!  The horse definitely doesn't do all the work, but it's a great feeling when you work as a team to accomplish a certain maneuver or technique.  Join us for some serious riding and good times!

Riders must be able to do a posting trot comfortably and may have done some lope work.

Teen and Adult Performance

We keep picking away at the art of horsemanship - what a great way to spend an evening.  Pushing yourself to grasp a new technique or maybe just get a little bit better communication going with a horse, Bonnie's nattering voice and group of gals (and maybe a guy or two!) who love the same things you do!  Join us this evening if you can handle the hard work and the FUN!

Adult Level III
You are probably at the point now that the more you ride, the more you realize you have to learn!  However, it's the journey that is so rewarding...every ride is not a diamond, some are stones, but you see confidence and progress in your abilities.  After a good review of basics in our snaffles, we will head towards working on whatever our hearts desire - the sky's the limit!
