Horse Sense Education

Our students learn just as much out of the saddle as in the saddle. Our 'Horse Sense' curriculum focuses on the health, welfare, body language, and basic knowledge for the horse. Fun classroom setting where you can test your horse knowledge and even win prizes and awards at the end of the year!

  Horse Centered Education

To successfully ride a horse, a student must know how to read a horses body language on the ground. Within the 'Horse Centered" part of our curriculum; our students learn how to lunge a horse, get a horse into a trailer, have control of their horse 'at liberty', and so much more. Ground work is a vital part of being a successful horseman/horsewoman!

Riding Academy

Our riding academy, the 'horsemanship' side of the curriculum, is all about mounted learning. This is a strict leveling program. These levels were created to ensure that young riders never cut any corners in the equestrian sport. At Blue Horse Stables - it is incredibly important that the classical art of riding is instilled in every future athlete.

What this Curriculum will Do for the Youth Rider

• Develop an understanding of safe practices in the stable, fostering a mindset of safety-awareness and the ability to clearly explain the reasons behind established rules.
• Gain insights into fundamental equine psychology, enabling them to interact with horses with empathy and thoughtful consideration.
• Master ground handling and stable management skills with confidence.
• Cultivate sufficient barn knowledge to be an asset as a working student or "barn rat."
• Expand their equine knowledge, appreciating the diversity of disciplines and philosophies.
• Recognize that an equestrian's education is a lifelong journey, with a commitment to continuous learning and growth.
• The Learning Levels mounted curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to cater to English riding lessons. As students advance through the Levels, they are guided towards developing a secure and adaptable balanced seat, along with a comprehensive foundational education in flatwork, jumping or pole work, and riding in open environments.
• We hold the belief that a proficient rider can perform effectively in any saddle, as many core principles of horsemanship are universally applicable. Our aspiration is for students to pursue any riding discipline they desire, equipped with proper equitation, a keen attention to detail and safety, and a deep understanding of aids and equine psychology.
