We are not a facility focused on showing (although we do have actively competitive students).As diagnosed folks ourselves, we understand the unique challenges faced by neurodiverse folks and troubled horses. Our farm is a busy hub for all ages, emphasizing safe, emotional regulation-focused lessons for everyone from age three to eighty. Here, we believe in fostering a supportive atmosphere that encourages a love for riding, personal growth, and building lasting bonds between riders and horses, all while emphasizing their needs and understanding them as the beings they are. We do our best to keep our lesson program ethical and sustainable. with routine vet care, constant farrier care from an educated husband and wife team, and bodywork of all types. We make our focus the 3 Fs, freedom, forage, friends for the equine friends.

Coaching for one on one, solo sessions at 45 minutes with one of our instructors. We have pair lessons as well with a peer or friend. Focus on what you need in a quieter setting. Private lessons are for all, from Tiny Tots on the lead line to Grand Prix riders getting their confidence back.

Pricing

We offer competitive pricing for all lessons, ensuring accessibility without compromising quality. We offer purchasing by the individual lesson, by the monthly membership, or by an 8 session package based on our operating calendar. All lesson cost are due up front before scheduling. Pricing is as listed. Select "Pricing Plans" or click here to see our discount packages. Most charges are recurring so check before confirming at checkout.

Membership/Monthly

Your monthly tuition is a recurring charge, when you pick a plan that says tuition or membership ,it will auto-renew monthly. This promises a lesson for the weeks we are open, at your preferred timeslot.

Individual Session

Students are always welcome to not commit and purchase as they can schedule, however it is required you pay at the time of booking then. We do not hold unpaid reservations. This is for those who need ease of scheduling, for those who prefer bigger savings and a set time, a commitment of Term or Monthly Pass will make the most sense.

Term/8 Lessons

Here, you pay slightly more upfront than memberships, but way less per hour for 8 sessions to booked within their designated term. Our terms are like semesters, and run between 7.5-12 weeks. Lessons do not roll over. Make sure you have time to use your 8 before purchase. You must book your 8 lessons.
