Alexis has over 20 years of experience competing at the local, regional, national and international level, and now uses her incredible talent and expertise to teach riders of all ages and skill levels!
AKS focuses on teaching the rider how to truly communicate with the horse, and use their skills to become a great horseman, no matter what discipline they ride!
We pride ourselves on teaching our students responsibility, confidence and the value of hard work! We combine the spirit of competition with strong family values, thus offering an experience totally unique to each client.
Our facility includes a fully heated indoor arena, 30 spacious heated stalls, four beautiful pastures for daily turnout, a heated wash-rack, grooming areas, two tack rooms, a gorgeous climate controlled viewing area, outdoor patio, and impeccable equine care. Preparations for a large outdoor arena are well under way!
Students and parents are welcome to spend as much time at the barn as possible, helping with chores, grooming and exercising horses, and making friends that last a lifetime! We have weekly cookouts, holiday parties and encourage camaraderie.
We hold in-barn schooling shows that give our students the opportunity to show off what they learn to family and friends, as well as attend outside shows, which range from fun-show level to national-level competition.
We offer lesson packages and competitive pricing to suit every individual, and offer gift certificates that make great unique gifts for the horse crazy person in your life!
Our heated facility allows us to give lessons year-round, and our lesson horses are the best in the Midwest at teaching students how to really ride! Safety is our priority, and in addition to in-depth instruction on how to interact with and work around horses, our lesson horses are highly experienced and incredibly reliable!
Our summer camps are always a hit! Campers learn the basics of horsemanship as well as how to care for the horse and learn horse knowledge through fun crafts!
