HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS
We utilize natural horsemanship training and instruction to connect to the heart of these gentle giants. Our priority is safe, friendly connections and are well suited toward beginner riders. We use western tack and have a small arena, round pen, pasture and lovely river trail. We are presently limited to light to moderate riding and riders under 150lbs.
COME JOIN OUR HERD
We have a wonderful instructor who will be teaching natural horsemanship skills to connect horses and humans in safe and peaceful relating. We welcome riders of all ages!
Children's horseback riding benefits many skills including:
- emotional regulation,
- nervous system relaxation,
- healthy outdoor activity
- focused mind/body coordination and core strength
One of our biggest passions at Hart Farm is connecting children and nature, especially horses! Establishing loving relationships as children keeps a special place in people's hearts as they grow into adults with the hope that horses will continue to have caregivers in years to come.
Adult riders of all skill levels are welcome as well!
Horseback riding for adults is a great combination activity. It challenges people in the following ways:
- Building core strength (especially postpartum healing, pelvic floor rehabilitation and hernia prevention and treatment support)
- Mind/body connectedness. Working with horses (on the ground or in the saddle) challenges us in unique ways. Encountering our fears, confidence, rigidity, softness and more.
- Energy awareness - horses feel everything! They respond to our posture, our thought patterns and more... They speak to our hearts and offer so much.
- Liberation - as it has been said,
"there is no ailment that cantering on a horse cannot cure!"

KULA
Our beautiful saddlebred/arabian elder mare has been the leader of our herd for over 10 years. While she's blind in her right eye, she see's right through it all. She's retired from riding yet continues to offer her wisdom with incredible therapy connections.
CINNAMON
Super sweet 20 year old shetland pony mare. The fastest and sassiest horse in the herd! Steady and easy going beginner riding horse. Loves visits from our youngest riders especially!
HAPPY RANGER
We are so lucky to have Happy in our herd. Otherwise known as HR, this guy is famous in the 4H show arena. Steady, reliable 15h gelding. Great for beginner or any skill rider up to 150lbs.
RAINBOW PRINCE WILLIAM HARRY
Our newest member Harry is an amazing being to spend time with. His goofy, adorable and loves connection. We're still getting to know his rider ability so lessons with him at TBD. But he's already engaged with our therapy program!
