Main Stay's Saddle Up Program

Main Stay's Saddle Up Program is designed for active adults looking for a short- term riding option. The 4-week session provides a small group of participants time with one of Main Stay's experienced therapy horses learning horsemanship and riding skills. The 1.5 hourly sessions includes grooming (brushing) your horse, assisting with tacking up (putting on riding equipment), and riding in our enclosed indoor and beautiful outdoor riding arenas (weather permitting). Lessons are taught by a PATH Intl. certified instructor along with support from trained volunteers. Riding benefits the body, mind, and spirit by improving strength and balance while learning a new skill or refreshing a current one. Connecting with horses and others provides an opportunity for learning in a safe and beautiful natural setting. Main Stay registration paperwork must be completed prior to the first session by and will be emailed prior to the class. Students will need to be able to walk on uneven surfaces, stand for up to an hour, and be age 18+.
