OUR SERVICES
MOUNTED ARCHERY
Mounted archery is the combination of excellent riding and archery. It's one of the first things humans did on horseback 3000 years ago. At Ridgeline we follow a structured curriculum to get students from never touching a bow or a horse, to galloping and shooting. Safety is our number one priority. We use only foam and blunt tip arrows while riding and shoot at gong targets. Send us a message to learn more about mounted archery!
Riding
We are happy to be creating a legacy of horsemanship. Our equestrian students learn horsemanship, behavior science, and riding and jumping. Our goal is to help our students reach their full potential and give them a thorough education. We offer lessons on our highly trained lesson horses for students ages 7 + To learn more about our program please send us a message!
Archery
Were you one of those kids that tried to make a bow out of a stick and a shoe string? Well you've found your people! Humans have been doing archery for so long, that for many of us it's instinctive. We offer beginner through advanced archery lessons in both modern and traditional styles. Our certified instructors will help guide you through your archery journey, whether your goal is to learn or to take a Championship! To learn more about archery, send usa message!

At graduation from this track students will be able to manage their own horse and barn, and train the ground work for a young horse.
Equine Assisted Activities
Equine Assisted Activites focuses on the relationship built with the horse. The goal is to promote healing and wellbeing through interaction with equines. Participants are led through interaction with their equine partner gently with a mindful focus on the partnership and observation of the interaction. Participants will build a healthy and supportive relationship with their horse and learn the basics of horsemanship through the lense of wellbeing.
