My 9yo daughter has been part of the Saddle 2 Ride program for over a year now, and she couldnt be happier! Shes learned so much about caring for the horses, and riding, and she relishes feeling like shes part of a great community. Older students help the younger ones, and my daughter is now loving the feeling of being able to contribute by helping out around the barn. A very encouraging setting for those who want to learn to ride. Great summer camps, too! Cant say enough good things about it.
