Sunny Brook Stables offers lessons primarily for beginner and novice children ages 5-15. We do offer limited lesson sports for older teens and adults as well. We believe in teaching with positive reinforcement to motivate learners to their highest potential. Learning is paced to match the student’s individual needs. If your child has never ridden a horse before, we look forward to introducing them to the equestrian sport, helping them to achieve their riding goals in a safe, professional, and fun environment.
In our SBS Academy, students will learn horsemanship, grooming, proper horse care, and care for their tack, for example, in their horsemanship lessons, all while working towards their badges in our assessment program. Riding skills and equine knowledge are built up from week to week ensuring a well rounded foundation in riding. We have well mannered, safe lesson horses and ponies for all abilities and personalities and all the necessary tack, helmets, and equipment to get them started!
In our riding clinics, riders experience a safety overview for handling and being around equine, instruction on grooming and tacking, some basic instruction on leading and handling equine and either participate in pony or horse rides, or a a lesson in our mini-clinic experience.
Our trainers enjoy teaching all aspects of riding, horsemanship, and basic horse care. Beginners through advanced students ride for fun, competition, and the love of the horse. Our motto is Happy Horses, Happy Humans! Our programs are also a great way to make friends and embrace teamwork! Horses are healing! We look forward to sharing these experiences with you, if it is a dream, life goal, or bucket list item, we can accommodate your goals.
