“ Age doesn’t matter. You can go as far as you want; you are always learning. Taking these classes is something I’ve always wanted to do.”
Seniors take these recreational classes to learn how to ride or to return to riding. They find that riding our wonderful horses instills confidence, empowers and encourages, as well as provides opportunities for exercise, learning new skills, and keeping mentally agile. Many participants return session after session to advance their skills even further.
