Group Riding Registration is Now Open!

Our Saddle Club has been a valued and much loved program here at Horseback Adventures for quite some time. This program has provided children of many ages and stages opportunities to learn and grow not just by gaining horsemanship skills but also by developing their confidence and ability to work cooperatively and communicate with others.

We have seen an increase in the number of students looking for riding lessons as well as a need for a supportive and positive atmosphere for not just children, but adults as well, to connect with friends and family new and old as well as to thrive as an individual.

In order to effectively respond to this need we have expanded our team of coaches in order to accommodate three possible sessions of our Children’s Saddle Club has expanded to three possible time slot options and our fantastic new coaches mean exciting new opportunities for our Adult Rodeo Club. Our HomeSchoolers Club has been an exciting addition on Wednesdays and will be up for it’s second round this winter.

If you’ve always wanted to take riding lessons and are looking for a way to get involved with a program but have struggled with finding available time slots or people to come with you, then it’s time to gear up and get out to the barn….Our Group Riding Program is Ready for you!!

Leaders in Training Camp

Introducing a new camp experience for kids ages 11 and up!

Our leaders in training program focuses on establishing 6 key skills to assist youth in developing their own sense of self awareness and providing them with the tools needed to build a solid foundation for personal growth.

Our program provides a supportive environment which focuses on establishing skills in the following areas, creating the building blocks of a confident leader.

  1. Assertiveness – Learning to be assertive in a healthy way using initiative and direction, rather than resorting to bullying tactics.
  2. Emotional Awareness – Exploring their own emotional responses as well as those of their peers, reflecting on resulting behaviours and non-verbal cues.
  3. Stress Tolerance – Embracing exposure to horses, being larger animals who can often lead to feelings of anxiety or intimidation, we work to overcome and cope with uncomfortable situations and vulnerability.
  4. Self Empowerment – Many youth struggle with self esteem and sense of value, causing insecurities to thrive. Overcoming obstacles and tackling new skills builds confidence and empowers them to master other aspects of their own growth.
  5. Problem-Solving Skills – Working through various tasks arranged within the program allows opportunities for youth to examine the best attitude  with which to approach problems at hand. This requires creativity, thinking, and leadership.
  6. Interpersonal Relationships – Our small groups and small counsellor to youth ratio provides a nonjudgmental safe place for youth to build trust and explore effective interpersonal skills while fostering strong relationships with others.
