Haven Horse Youth Program

 

Love horses and dream of having your own?  New to horses and desire hands-on experience and camaraderie?

 

Hands-on groundwork and riding sessions ending with a fun show. Youth can be in preschool all the way up to one year past high school. This is our 11th year offering this program, mentoring 130+ kids in that time. This program is run and supported by volunteers, with a goal of providing low-cost horse educational opportunities. This is not primarily riding lessons, though there are riding components. Beginner and Intermediate sessions run simultaneously so that families can participate together.
