A Kinder Way to Ride
Most lesson barns can feel intense — fast-paced, high-pressure, and built for competition. At Saddle & Grow, we do things differently. Our goal is to make horseback riding accessible, fun, and personal for every young rider.
Low Pressure
Learn at your own pace in a judgment-free space
One-on-One Lessons
Each student gets full attention, every lesson
Kind, Beginner-Friendly Horses
Gentle rides brings big confidence

Our Riding Programs
At Saddle & Grow, lessons are taught one-on-one in a quiet, outdoor setting on the family farm. We focus on Western-style riding, using beginner-friendly horses. Each rider can work there way through three progressive programs at their own pace. There is no pressure, no timeline, just steady growth.
