People cope in different ways. Some people take medication, some people go to therapy, and others come to Hoof It Forward to ride a horse.

Today is the last day. VOTE FOR Hoof It Forward!!! Tree 6! It would buy a pallet of much needed feed for our older program horses that depend on the extra needed protein and fat to help them over the winter.

We are excited to announce:

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN:

ROOTS AND RIDERS
Starting January 5th, 2026 for 8-9 weeks, from 5pm to 6pm
Ages 8-11
3 riders per session
Depending upon number of riders, we will open up other evenings.

This will be a series of lessons starting from the "ground up", growing skills from one session to the next helping riders reach goals in the barn, arena, and in the community.

Roots & Riders is an approximate 9 week horsemanship and relationship-building program designed for youth ages 8–11. Hoof It Forward uses horse-centered experiential learning to teach fundamental skills in communication, boundaries, safety, teamwork, and confidence—both with horses and with peers. (Instructors must ensure participants are mastering or have a competency level of safety before moving up to the next level of skills; therefore, some levels may need to be repeated. Data will be collected each week, and prior to start of each lesson, skills will be reviewed and accessed to see where each rider is at. This is a necessary safety protocol. Helmets are required. If safety stirrups are not used, cowboy boots are required. All Hoof It Forward documentations must be completed prior to start.)

Participants learn essential horsemanship and introductory riding skills while also developing social and emotional competencies that promote healthy friendships, problem-solving, and respectful interactions in the community.

By establishing strong “roots” in safety, self-awareness, and connection, students grow into capable “riders” who demonstrate resilience, cooperation, emotional regulation, and empathy—skills that extend far beyond the barn, all with the partnership and assistance of the horse.

Please contact Kristie at 701-425-2603 to get signed up., find out about required paperwork, safety protocols, set up a tour, and any other questions you may have. We look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

Limited spots available on Mondays. We can open other evenings up depending upon the number of riders who register.

The heat is in the barn; the lights will be in by the end of the year!!
