Eligibility
Our riding sessions are designed for individuals of all abilities who can benefit from horse-assisted experiences. While our program has historically served children, we now welcome a limited number of teen and adult riders as space and horse suitability allow.
Riders must be physically able to ride independently or with support from sidewalkers, based on safety and horse size. We are happy to discuss whether our program is the right fit for your family.
​
How to Get Started
To begin, please contact us to talk through your rider’s needs and schedule an introductory visit to the farm. During this visit, we’ll help your rider get acquainted with the horses and determine whether our program is a good match. If so, we’ll guide you through the next steps of enrollment and scheduling.
​
Volunteer Opportunities
Not looking to ride, but still want to get involved? Adults and teens 13+ are invited to volunteer! From assisting during classes to helping with barn chores or special events, there's a place for you here. No horse experience? No problem — we provide all the training you'll need. Visit our Volunteer Page to learn more and sign up.

What to Expect
Our sessions are tailored to each rider’s needs, with a focus on building skills, confidence, and connection. Riders spend time bonding with their horse through grooming and groundwork before and after their ride, with 30–45 minutes typically spent in the saddle.
We strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment where every rider feels seen and valued.
