"In my youth I witnessed and endured the demoralization of students to get a point across. Many of the riding Instructors in my past had a positive impact on me, but the few who sent me home crying have blessed me with the vision for my riding program. I wanted to create a place where students of all ages could gather and learn all that horses have to offer them without such restrictive boundaries and expectations. Being a mother of four beautiful daughters has only confirmed that this place,"The Barn", is the best place in the world to teach ourselves and our children compassion,responsibility, work ethic, loyalty and everything in between! I hope you enjoy our website and I hope you will come to the barn for a visit."... See More

EquiPrana is a holistic, comprehensive horsemanship and horseback riding program accepting students from 7 years old to 50+! Whether you're a first time rider, a horse enthusiast who is just returning to the sport, or someone who is looking to make the most of the human-equine bonding experience, we are able to accomodate most students short and long term goals. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to lessons, each lesson program is tailored specifically for each student. Returning riders, riders with confidence issues and novices will find our warm, welcoming and affirming approaches to riding and horsemanship quite different from many other programs. Combining aspects of Eastern philosophies, Tai Chi, Qui Gong, Yoga and other centering and meditative approaches to riding and horsemanship have helped many of our students begin to realize their potential and acheive their goals.

Emphasis is on the journey we take with horses as our companions, teachers and guides.... See More
