Stay Tuned For Upcoming 2026 Dates!
Our one-day Redefining Equestrian Intro camps provide a low-barrier point of entry for students of color who are curious about horses. Camps are 4 hours and include a broad introduction to horses. We focus on self-observation and learn about horse behavior as a foundation for safe handling. We learn safe handling and grooming techniques, some basic parts of the horse, and the basics about our equipment and how to use it. We watch horses in motion and discuss use of the body language as the horse’s language. Ultimately those students who are interested ride with ground support.

Our program is unique in the equestrian community, as we focus on evidence-based research to direct our methodology. From the lifestyle, our horses live to our hoof care, dentistry, and nutrition, all of our practices are informed by cutting-edge research from industry leaders. We teach a dressage foundation as a base for all equestrian sports, emphasize the importance of cross-training for wellbeing and have the background to support riders with hunter/jumper and eventing aspirations as well.
