ABOUT US:

Our farm started as a local barn offering lessons for beginning riders. Today, we have grown to an operation that has retained our "family friendly" and boutique appeal while offering the finest quality lessons for all ages and levels, as well as a top-rated A circuit show team that competes up and down the West Coast. We are proud to be a barn where our young riders learn life skills, such as teamwork and work ethic, and where riders make friendships and bonds with animals that they will remember for a lifetime.

The NWNHC conducts lessons for students age eight and older who wish to learn how to build a respectful partnership with their horse and learn to ride with balance and lightness. In addition to a basic curriculum for children, we specialize in addressing the unique needs of the adult student who may be getting back into horses or fulfilling a life-long dream.

Using natural horsemanship and Centered Riding® techniques students build a positive relationship with the horse through leadership, not force and intimidation. Our instruction is a comprehensive program that starts on the ground and works its way into the saddle. It seeks to build a well-rounded horse person who not only understands the techniques, but the mind and spirit of the horse.

In addition to lessons, students enjoy play days, clinics, workshops, a kids club, summer camps, getaway events, and competitions.
