Riding lessons and a quiet retirement for good horses.
Lessons for every age with our instructor Aubree, plus retirement boarding with room to just be a horse.
Lessons with Aubree
We teach riding lessons for every age and board a small number of retired horses. Lessons start at $25 for our Little Wrangler program (ages 7 and under), run $55 to $65 an hour for older kids and adults, and $65 to $75 for barrel racing; retirement boarding is $750 a month. To book, send a note through the form below with the rider's age and what you are after, and Aubree gets back to you with open times.
Aubree teaches here, and she is patient with beginners and sharp with riders who want to push. The littlest ones start in Little Wrangler, where the whole point is confidence, safety, and fun in the saddle. Older kids and adults work through real fundamentals: seat, balance, control, and horsemanship on the ground as much as in the saddle. If you have the itch for barrel racing, she runs that too. First time on a horse or knocking rust off old skills, there is a spot for you here.

Retirement boarding, the way a horse should end its days
A horse that has given you years of work and trust deserves a good retirement, and a lot of boarding barns are not set up for it. Ours is.
We do not use stalls. Your horse lives outside, on 24/7 turnout, in a herd, the way horses are built to live. That constant movement and grazing is better for aging joints, digestion, and the animal's mind than standing in a box. We feed twice a day, keep eyes on every horse morning and night for the small changes that matter as they age, and coordinate the farrier so their feet stay right. If your horse needs something special, we talk it through with you.
Retirement boarding is $750 a month. It is a small herd and we keep it that way, because 24/7 attention does not scale. Reach out to see if we have an opening.
Horse questions
Do I need my own horse or gear for lessons?
No. We have safe, well-trained lesson horses and the tack to go with them. Just bring closed-toe boots or shoes with a small heel and long pants. We will get you set up with a helmet.
How old does my child need to be for Little Wrangler?
Little Wrangler is built for ages 7 and under. Lessons run 30 to 45 minutes to match a young rider's attention and stamina, and the focus is confidence and safety. Riders 8 and up move into the standard hour-long lessons.
What is included in retirement boarding?
24/7 turnout with a herd, no stalls, twice-daily feeding, daily health checks morning and night, and farrier coordination. It is $750 a month. Vet visits and any special care are arranged and billed separately, and we always talk those through with you first.
Why no stalls for retired horses?
Older horses do better moving. Constant, gentle motion and grazing keep joints, guts, and minds healthier than standing in a box. Herd living lets them be horses. For most retirees it is the kindest setup there is.
How do I book my first lesson, step by step?
Three steps. First, send a note through the form below with the rider's age, any past experience, and whether you want private or group. Second, Aubree replies with a couple of open times and confirms the rate: $25 for Little Wrangler, $65 private or $55 group for standard, $75 or $65 for barrel racing. Third, you show up in closed-toe boots with a small heel and long pants, and we handle the horse, the tack, and the helmet. Packages are paid up front; single lessons you can settle at the barn.
What should my child wear and bring to a first lesson?
Long pants and closed-toe boots or shoes with a small heel so the foot sits right in the stirrup. No sandals or slick-soled sneakers. Bring water, and in summer a hat for the walk to and from the ring. We provide a properly fitted helmet, the horse, and all the tack, so there is nothing to buy before you start.
Do you offer lesson packages or discounts?
Yes. Little Wrangler runs $25 a lesson or a package of four for $95, which saves you a lesson's worth over time. Standard and barrel lessons are priced by the hour, and group rates ($55 standard, $65 barrel) come in under the private rate per rider. Ask Aubree about a standing weekly slot if you want to lock in a regular time.
How do I ask about a retirement boarding spot?
Send a note through the form below with your horse's age, health, and any special needs. We keep the retirement herd small, so openings come and go. Boarding is $750 a month and we will tell you honestly whether we have room and whether our 24/7 turnout setup is the right fit for your horse.
