Equine Assisted Learning

Riders develop a sense of well-being, improve self-confidence and self-initiative, as well as a sense of independence and acceptance.  Conscious horsemanship contributes positively to balance, reflexes, cognitive skills, focus, and communication skills of individuals through learning lifelong skills.

We offer various riding sessions all year - call us to ask about customized sessions.

Group Lessons: $250 per student for 6-week, one hour per week lesson.

Group lessons are 50-60 minutes long and include minimum of 3 riders depending on the skill level of the participants. These lessons are offered year-round.  

Private Lessons:  $65/lesson

Private lessons are 50-60 minutes long and are offered year-round.  Reach 4A Star does not offer the sliding scale for private lessons.

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is mostly conducted on the ground but sometimes mounted on a horse, if appropriate. Participants explore previously unrecognized qualities while developing positive communication skills through shared experiences with horses, certified riding instructors, and when necessary, other credentialed practitioners.  Equine assisted learning is an educational approach focusing on personal growth, teamwork, and development of life skills through equine interactions and partnerships.
