Centennial Acres

Centennial Acres Centennial Acres offers english and western riding lessons to riders ages 4 and up. All lessons include grooming and tacking up the horse

Our main goal is to teach riders about safety, care, and correct horsemanship. Students may choose what direction they want their lessons to go, from wanting to ride just for fun to competing in horse shows. We have a nice assortment of lesson horses that are quiet, well behaved, and enjoy their job. Students may choose to ride one of our horses or they may trailer in their own horse.

Centennial Acre’s
4th Annual Home Show
September 20th , 2025 @2 pm

The past two years we have had the opportunity to host a home horse show for our students. It went so well we are hosting it again this year. Once again, we will hire a local judge to come judge a set of classes for our students to get a feel for showing and to also receive feedback from a local judge in regards to their riding skills.
The format of our show will most likely involve 3 classes for each division of riders. We will have a performance class, an on the rail equitation/skill class, (i.e., 2-point, sitting trot, change diagonals, no stirrup work), and to finish out the division there will be a pattern class.
We would love for anyone interested to come and watch and help out at this show and any of students who are in regular lessons that can safely trot off the lunge line are eligible for this experience.
Look for the flyers at the barn if interested.
Please Rsvp by September 13th
