We offer Horse Powered Reading ® as classes, workshops and field trips both on the farm or we can come to you! Horse Powered Reading is for students Ages 3-16. Programs can be tailored to fit your goals for your youth. Connect with us to collaborate on a schedule that works best for you!

Absolutely not! All of our programs (whether riding or on our life skills development programs on the ground) are designed for people of all experience levels. Safety is our highest priority and each participant will receive a safety orientation.

No worries! If you aren't being pushed out of your comfort zone, you aren't learning. This is an opportunity to overcome fears or preconceived notions. Some of the people who have attended our programs have started out intimidated. By the end of the program, they have learned more about themselves, they have overcome their fears and walked out with life-altering results!

There is no special clothing requirement to take part in any of our programs. The only thing that we ask is that you wear closed toed shoes for safety while you are working with the horses. That could be running shoes, cowboy boots, or any other footwear that will keep your toes safe. Dress for the weather and leave your favourite clothes at home. The arena has beautiful sand for our horses to enjoy, and while they love it, you may get a little dusty!! You must bring your own helmet & riding boots.

Knowing is half the battle! Just be sure to take an antihistamine before you come. If you don’t know if you are allergic to horses, we have allergy medicine onsite.
