We offer safe, fun, and educational riding lessons for everyone (Ages 5+) from the person who has never been around horses, to those who are experienced and looking to advance towards their riding goals! Our lessons are completely customizable and focused on what you want to learn applied to our curriculum made specifically for you. We offer an encouraging environment that allows students to grow and develop both as a horse person and as an individual. We place a strong emphasis on horsemanship in our lessons and believe that the key to becoming a strong rider is being a strong horse person.

Our Specialities
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.
