Our Teaching Philosophy

We place a large emphasis on horsemanship in our lessons for both children and adults. We believe that the foundation to becoming an excellent rider is having a strong foundation in horsemanship and horse care. Understanding horses and their instincts is one of the keys to becoming a great rider.

​

We require that our students groom and tack their horses for all lessons (with supervision and assistance). We strongly believe that something as simple as grooming your horse is an important step in becoming a more knowledgeable horse person. We also encourage our regular clients to do some lessons focused on groundwork and communication with your horse.

Our Instructors

Our instructors are Equine Canada certified coaches, First Aid/CPR/AED certified

What To Expect

We provide lovely school horses that receive the best holistic care possible. We have a strong belief in teaching safe horse handling skills and a foundational knowledge of equine care. Each lesson consists of time spent grooming the horse, going over basic anatomy when needed, answering any questions that come up along the way, tacking up, safe handling, and of course time in the saddle! We offer both Western and English lessons. We have an indoor and outdoor arena to allow us to work in all weather conditions.

 

Our coaches are all Registered Equestrian Canada Coaches. To inquire about our lesson program or to book in, fill out the form provided, and we will be in contact with you!

Our Facility

Our beautiful facility sits on 80 acres above the Salmon River Valley. The home environment allows the equines to be exposed to various livestock, equipment, and stimuli you would see in many situations. The trail access allows us to expose them to standing and flowing water, bridges, roadways, bush, logging roads, vehicles, open fields, narrow trails, wildlife, and so much more!

 

We have a variety of environments for lessons including an indoor arena, outdoor arena, round pen, and access to trails. We have props and obstacles available to be able to work on a variety of skills in our lessons.

What Our Clients Say About Our Lessons

"Our experience with Spa Alps Equines has been nothing short of exceptional! My 12-year-old daughter has been taking lessons here for over a year, and the growth she has experienced under the guidance of Stephanie and her incredible team has been truly remarkable.

​

Not only has she developed strong riding skills, but she has also gained a deep understanding of horse care and equestrian responsibility. Stephanie’s expertise, patience, and ability to connect with young riders create the perfect environment for learning and growth.

​

The staff’s dedication, combined with their love for horses, makes every lesson enjoyable and enriching. My daughter looks forward to her time at the barn, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about each student’s progress and passion for riding.

​

If you’re looking for a top-notch equestrian program that emphasizes skill-building, responsibility, and fun, Spa Alps Equines is the place to be. Highly recommended!"
