Children's Equestrian Center

When I (Sara) was growing up my Grandma Millie had a large Stable. It was a gathering place for kids of all ages. Hours were spent primping the horses with braids and ribbons. Pretending to be cowgirls or cowboys, roping and cutting cows or playing on our homemade bucking bull.

We spent a lot of time experimenting with different types of riding and participated in local shows. The environment presented a great opportunity to learn. This is where the idea of the Children’s Equestrian Center was born.

Children’s Equestrian Center is a barn dedicated to the future horseman. Structured learning is focused on safety, proper equitation and provides an understanding in the way horses think and behave. This, combined with the time and interaction with other kids who share the same interest in horses, makes for a competent horseman.

Horsemanship encourages self-confidence, responsibility, and friendships. To own a horse is a great responsibility for a child or a young adult, but it also creates a self-discipline that is rewarded greatly.

The Children’s Equestrian Center creates an atmosphere for fun.

Weekly functions are planned and trails are accessible from the barn. Lessons start in June and are included in the boarding fee for the child's horse (2 lessons per month, void if not used during the same month). Lesson horses are available and are encouraged if you are not sure if your child has the lasting interest for the investment. We have a collection of show clothes of various sizes and they are available for use. Donations of outgrown show clothes are always welcome.

Give your children an experience they'll remember the rest of their lives.
