Today we hosted our Introduction to Horses Kids Camp — and what a great time it was! Some of the kids had never been around horses before, and seeing their faces light up as they gained confidence in their riding was absolutely priceless.

Keep an eye out for more kids camps coming up! We keep the groups small to ensure plenty of riding time and focused attention on each activity.

A huge thank you to the parents who brought their children out, and to our fantastic instructors for making the day such a success!

We had a great time last night with our two mini clinics! It was a fantastic group of people, and we accomplished a lot together. Thank you to everyone who came out and participated. The feedback on the layout was really positive, so we’re planning to host more of these sessions soon. Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming clinics — we’d love to have you join us!

Does your horse respect you on the ground?

Before you can expect respect, control, and connection under saddle — it all starts on the ground. A solid groundwork foundation is the key to a confident, well-mannered horse.

Is your horse:
• Pushy or crowding your space?
• Spooky or jumpy while being led?
• Hard to catch?
• Not standing still when asked?
• Dragging or rushing on the lead rope?
• Disrespectful of your cues to move over, back up, or yield their hindquarters?

All of these are signs that your horse is lacking confidence in YOU as their leader — and that’s where groundwork makes the difference.

By learning how to control their feet — moving them left, right, forward, and backward — you begin to build trust, respect, and leadership. Whether your horse is young or older, groundwork is the keystone to building a partnership that carries into everything you do together.

✨ We offer private, one-on-one groundwork lessons tailored to you and your horse.
Let us help you build a stronger, safer, more respectful connection — both on the ground and in the saddle.
