The Barn Rat Program
The Barn Rat program is open to all current students who want to learn more about horses. The program consists of everything that goes into keeping horses happy and healthy including cleaning the stables, unloading bedding, moving hay, fixing fence, and much much more!
Boot Camp
Boot Camp is a group exercise time devoted to improving our riding skills. This self-led personal journey sets aside time to explore developing strength in a supportive and fun atmosphere.
The Intensive Program
The Intensive Program started with the Windsor School system and has expanded to include groups of people that are interested in a short term, horse inclusive program. Contact us if you have a group that might be interested in this unique opportunity to learn about horses.
