Heels Down Riding Academy

In life if you’re not failing, you’re not learning or growing.
In paddle boarding, yoga, and horse riding if you aren’t FALLING, you aren’t learning and growing.
A couple of months ago one of our lessons kids fell off riding ba****ck. She was luckily wearing her helmet and got up fairly unscathed, but still very shaken. She’s ridden since but not the same horse and not ba****ck again. As we work towards her individual riding goals, riding ba****ck is imperative for her to do, and today she got back on the horse she fell off of, ride ba****ck, trotted, and ended her lesson so proud of herself. I’m beyond proud of her bravery today. It takes courage to face a fear like that and she nailed it!

Our 3rd Annual Fall Fest is coming!
We have opened registration for vendors to sign up!

The last two years we have have doubled our attendance each time and there is usually about 100-150 ppl in attendance throughout the day. This is a great event for smaller businesses to be seen by families.

It’s okay to just enjoy your horse, at the level you are at today. You don’t have to always push for more every time you step foot in the saddle. Horses are supposed to be fun. You ride because you love it. Never forget that.
