Summer Wind Stables’ goal
is to foster a love of horsemanship and to teach the proper
techniques in caring for our equine friends. Our students will fully
appreciate the responsibilities and rewards of being an equestrian
and develop a life long respect for horses, while developing
self-discipline, patience, perseverance, and self-confidence.
Our riders
gain a strong foundation that will enable them
to succeed at any form of horsemanship they desire!
|
Our Summer
Riding Program offers any number of weeks ranging from one to
eight weeks, and may be taken non-consecutively.
