Western Horse Riding Program
Youth & Adults
Fort Collins, CO
Looking for western riding lessons near Fort Collins or Wellington? I run a large youth program, including a Youth Horse Club. I am also an excellent fit for adult riders building confidence or getting to know a new horse partner. My program offers an informal and fun learning environment focused on gymkhana, trail, and ranch riding. There is a strong emphasis on horsemanship, including all aspects of owning & caring for horses. We ride March thru December and are closed for January & February.
We also offer equine birthday parties at the ranch!

2024 SPRING & SUMMER HORSE CLUB INFO
Instead of week-long camps this year, we are offering a new program called HORSE CLUB! Horse club is open to all students ages 10+ who are interested in the "big picture" of being a horseman. Come spend a day at the ranch to learn the ins and outs of daily chores, horse healthcare and management, play horse games & trivia, ride the bucking barrel, and of course, have the opportunity to spend extra time in the saddle, beyond a typical, focused, 1hr lesson.
Horse Club will meet on Saturdays from 10-1 through the Spring, with additional days offered over Spring Break. Horse Club will also meet every Monday during summer vacation from 9-1. This is going to be a small group, so sign up quickly to reserve your spot! Cost $75 for spring club meetings, and $100 for summer club meetings.
What to bring:
Boots with a heel
Water
Some snacks or lunch (kids will be working hard)
Sunscreen & a hat in the summer

Birthday Parties at the Ranch
Want to make your kiddos cowboy or pony princess dreams come true? We can make that happen! Birthday parties are available to book Saturday afternoons (weather permitting). We have minis, a birthday donkey, and full-sized horses, along with unicorn horns, horse paints, and lots of fun games for pony rides. Bring food, cake, & decorations and come enjoy a birthday to remember! Parties are 2hrs for $250 for up to 12 pony riders. Parties will be fully refunded if for poor weather conditions, otherwise they may be canceled for 50% refund if within 2 weeks of the booking.
Looking for lessons for a child under 5? I offer 30 minute tiny tots lessons on our miniature ponies!
My students not only learn how to ride, but also to care for their horse.
Our awesome lesson horses help my students get an intro to many different disciplines!
Learn in a beautiful ranch setting, surrounded by horses with the rockies as the backdrop.
