< Back Independent Rider Program Our rider program for our more advanced independent riders Our independent riding program has met with great success. Our first group of riders moved up from our Equine assisted learning classes. They completed a full year this fall not only attaining the necessary skills but also and most of all the confidence to ride. To see parents and grandparents taking pictures as they witness the growth and excitement that comes with that freedom and responsibility is priceless. Not to mention the biggest smiles on the riders faces as trepidation turns to triumph. Previous Next
