Horseback Riding in Columbus, Nebraska (Platte County)

So… you or your child has caught the “BUG”! It’s not life threatening, but, it’s NOT a curable one either. This ailment can last a WHOLE lifetime! It’s called: HORSE FEVER! Symptoms include: your child prancing around your house pretending to be a horse, attempting to ride the back of your sofa or (Oh, MY!) your favorite pet and uncontrollable whining, “Mommy, Daddy….can I PLEEASE get a HORSE!!!”

The BEST treatment for Horse Fever is to get involved with horses! This won’t cure the ailment, but it will make life around your house much more pleasant (and your dog can stop hiding in his kennel as well!). Taking horse back riding lessons is the best place to start this new adventure – one you can enjoy your entire life!
