Silver Saddles

Silver Saddles was created for individuals over 55 with age-related disabilities to give both new and experienced riders a chance to ride in a relaxed atmosphere.

The program is designed to improve overall strength, endurance, balance and coordination. Lessons focus on partnership with the horse through the use of classical dressage principles – which help increase individuals’ range of motion, endurance, and core strength.

Riders in this program spend time grooming and tacking their horses, and learning horsemanship. Riders may also have an opportunity to socialize with other horse-loving seniors by participating in a group session. Lessons are offered as 30-minute private, 45-minute semi-private, or 60-minute groups.
