We cater to most styles of riding, including Dressage, Hunter- under saddle, Hunter-Jumper- baby green to 3 feet, Western, Western Reining, Barrel Racing, Trail Riding, Pilates on Horseback, and ALL styles are started with centered riding techniques and basic horsemanship skills.

In the state of Colorado, horseback riding is considered to be an inherently dangerous activity. Horses, being a prey animal, have a natural instinct to flee when threatened. Having said this, we ALWAYS take every precaution to be as safe as possible. We match the rider to the most appropriate horse, and take every safety precaution. If this is a serious concern, references are always available.

Wearing helmets for any riding at the stable is MANDATORY- no exceptions. We do have a supply of helmets that are SEI/FEI certified. As supply permits we are happy to loan you a helmet for your lessons. At some point in your riding pursuits you may wish to purchase one of your own.

We do not ask that you make big purchases before your first lessons, but we do suggest these common sense choices: Boots or a sturdy shoe - Crocs are NOT permitted on grounds. Jeans or a riding pant. Sunglasses, and sunscreen- even in the winter months!

All students MUST be at least 7 years old, or older. There is no limit for how old a rider can be.

Campers are required to bring three large bottles of water, three snacks and a sack lunch to camp each and every day. We do not provide these items. Parents are urged to dress students in sturdy jeans or riding pants, a hat, and lots of sunscreen. Riding boots are preferred, but a sturdy shoe is fine. Crocs, and flip flops are not acceptable on the stable grounds.

Horse Camp is suitable for all riders, and we cater to all age groups, and do make the specific needs or inherent abilities for each student part of our daily curriculum. Riders of all abilities can enjoy and develop fabulous skills at Horse Camp. Leadership Camp is the first week of our summer camp season, and is specifically created to teach and counsel our more experienced riders how to assist us with the other camps. Campers that successfully complete this training camp are eligible to volunteer their skills at the other camps we have during the season, and to assist us at the numerous shows we attend. Non- students with prior skills are welcome to attend. Show Camp is designed to help riders improve specific skills so that they may participate in the numerous shows we attend throughout the season, and be well prepared for each venue. This is a boot camp type of environment intended for the serious rider. Showing after this camp is not mandatory, and is intended to develop a greater understanding of specific disciplines. Baby-Green Jumping Camp is for the new jumper wanting to develop their skills in this discipline. We focus on form, safety in jumping and technique to develop a confident jumping rider with a great foundation.

We are excited to offer a low cost opportunity for riders who are interested in showing, however ours is a non-competitive culture, and we wish all riders to know that the opportunity to pursue showing is always available but never a mainstream part of our culture. We make the information available, we have no expectation for anyone who is not interested to participate. In our desire to foster a non- competitive culture, we have decided to not sponsor shows at our facility in the interest of maintaining a very community -oriented environment.

It depends. A student is required to provide their own riding outfit, pay for their entry fees, pay for the show fees and costs of that specific event. We have an excellent "gently used" network for show clothes and try to keep all costs as low as possible.
