Horse Care

Under correct supervision, students are asked to be responsible for tacking up and grooming their own lesson horses, and shown the correct way to handle themselves around the animals. They finish the lesson by attending to the horse's aftercare and cleaning up after theselves and their tack, according to their abilities.

Correct routine horse care is taught and emphasized.

Arenas

Two rings, an outdoor ring finished in blue stone and an enclosed, weathertight indoor arena footed in shredded recycled leather provide a safe, secure learning and work environment all year round.

Judy Morrow, Heather's mother, enjoys sitting in our comfortable, shaded viewing area at our ouside ring to watch her daughter's lessons. There is an accessible and comfortable viewing area above the indoor arena, as well.
