complete training for both horse and rider. Quality over Quantity
Our dedication to maintaining "quality over quantity" with our riders and our riding lesson programs sets us apart from practically all others in the business.

Our focus is on connection and cooperation with these majestical animals. While other facilities tend to focus on control through assertion and dominance, our philosophy is curated on individual relationships between the horse and rider. Our horsemanship program offers both a privilege and an opportunity to learn not only more about yourself but also the unique personalities of our wonderful equine companions.

Whether a beginner or an experienced rider, our instructors will help you develop your confidence and skills with horses and have an enjoyable time. We take your training goals seriously and work to accommodate every rider's learning style.

We pride ourselves in facilitating a safe, relaxed, and fun environment where everyone feels comfortable and welcome as a part of our ranch family.

Our programs tailor to all levels – from beginner to advanced – providing top-quality equestrian education. At Equestrians Excellence LLC, we believe horseback riding is more than just being a passenger. We strive to guide our students to become the effective and confident equestrians we know they can be.... See More
