Windy Acres Programs

Our programming falls into 3 streams.  As you scroll through our different programs you will see that our riding school and therapeutic riding programs are very similar.  This is because we strive to be inclusive, in which individuals in our therapeutic riding stream may ride with individuals from our riding school stream.  It is more important to match individuals so the situation provides the best learning opportunities.

Windy Acres Stable provides 3 streams of programming

Rookie riders is a great program to get started in horseback riding.  Participant work on the ground, barrel horse and horse to develop position, strength and balance.  

What's the difference and Why

  1. To provide the best programming our instructors need to understand the individual and their needs.

  2. Therapeutic programming requires a medical.  This is a requirement by insurance and ensures that the individual is safe to start riding lessons.

  3. We take more individuals in the therapeutic riding stream than in the riding school stream.
