If you want to learn to ride, make great friends, interact with other farm animals and develop skills that you will use all your life then Meadowlarke is the place to be.
While learning to ride participants of all ages develop confidence, team spirit, sportsmanship, common sense, courtesy and safety practices - attributes and skills that are necessary in any classroom, office, boardroom and of course all other sports.

The instructors are pleasant because they genuinely care for their students, enjoy sharing their passion for the horses and developing partnerships and excellence in horsemanship which is SOOOO much more than just riding. We are privileged to be able to interact with large, intelligent animals so close to home when many farms and stables are disappearing under urban sprawl - some of the kids arrive for their first lessons without ever having been close to a live animal larger than a cat, dog or goldfish.

Meadowlarke may not be for everyone BUT everyone is welcomed and can learn something there.
