Boots by the door, brushes in the bucket.
We're a riding center in Weatherford, Texas. Most riders start on the ground — catching, brushing, picking out feet, working out which strap goes where — and get in the saddle when they're ready for it. From there: horsemanship courses, the lease program and the show team.
And every summer, the camp pages fill in.
Entries 01 & 02 · Lessons and horsemanship
Every lesson starts with the horse, not the saddle. Catching, brushing, picking out feet, learning which strap goes where. Then you get on, with an instructor beside you the whole way.
Most riders come once a week to begin with. Tell us which days suit you and we'll put you with a horse and an instructor.
Walk first, on a lunge line, until balance stops being something you think about. No experience needed, no rush to go faster than you're ready for, and horses chosen for their patience with new riders.
For riders who want the whole horse and not just the ride: groundwork, reading a horse's mood, feed and turn-out routines, and how to handle a horse safely from the ground.
Entry 03 · Summer riding camp
Sunburn, creek water, saddle soap, and somebody's boots that still don't fit.
Summer riding camp is day after day at the barn: riding, grooming, learning the feed-room routine, and spending the hours between in the creek and the shade. Kids who have never been on a horse and kids who have been coming for years end up in the same aisle — which is the whole point of it.
Entries 04 & 05 · Boarding and the lease program
Come and walk the barn first. Bring your questions.
Boarding here means your horse lives at the barn with us: a place to stay, a feed routine that stays the same, and people who know your horse by name and by mood — the one who won't drink from the far trough, the one who needs a blanket before a blue norther.
Stalls and pasture turn-out, a routine that doesn't shift from week to week, and a barn that goes quiet at the same time every night. Bring your horse, or come and look around first.
A lease pairs a rider with one horse for set days each week — the middle ground between a weekly lesson and owning. More saddle time, a horse you really get to know.
Entry 06 · Show-team coaching
Show-team coaching is for riders who want to take their riding somewhere — a first show, a weekend away, or a whole season of them. We work on the riding first, the preparation second, and the nerves throughout, and we go with you when the day comes.
Regular coaching on the flat and over fences, built around what your horse does well.
Course plans, timing, warm-up routines and a plan for the days that don't go the way you drew them.
Braiding, cleaning, packing the trailer. The unglamorous half of showing, done properly.
