We would love to meet and set up an appointment time before attending any class to see what would be best suited for you and have you meet our horses!

All activities and sessions will begin in prayer, themed with specific Biblical principles that represent the yielding of the horses in the same manner our lives need to yield to God and learn of His great love for us!

We desire above all to honor God as best as we can showing His grace and truth in love by demonstrating how our relationship with horses relates to the relationship we have with Him.

Health and Safety If you have any illness, please cancel your sessions and use the hand sanitizer before using any equipment. We clean all equipment and waiting room area and appreciate your understanding as we all help to keep each other healthy. We do not require masks and ask that you respect the safety guidelines.
