Pony School Programs

 

There are two parts to this course , Weekly classroom sessions in our pony school in a group setting and Private Riding Lessons . There are many things a true rider must learn that is not in the saddle . This course covers a huge assortment of topics and is also a great way to interact with kids their age that share similar interests in a safe setting. Riding Lessons can be booked separately as we only teach in saddle lessons one on one as we believe beginners benefit more from being able to accelerate at their own pace. Riding lessons are only available for those who are enrolled in our pony school. This class is an hour and a half long. Plus 4- 30 minute Private in tack lessons ( to be booked separately) Price is Monthly include both Classroom and Arena lessons.

Healing With Horses

This program offers a private, ground-based session featuring one of our wonderful equine companions. These non-riding sessions involve one-on-one interaction with an instructor. The objectives of your session are entirely up to you, and can help reduce anxiety, boost self-confidence, foster trust, and encourage reflection. While this program is influenced by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), known for its effectiveness in social and interpersonal anxiety, it is not a substitute for traditional DBT therapy and is not conducted by a psychologist. Each session lasts 50 minutes.
