Equine programs

Whether in participating in our School Year Private Riding Lessons and Horse Connection classes, or getting an immersive horsey-adventure in our Summer and Holiday Day Camps, Sienna Ranch students gain students a solid foundation in equine knowledge.

Build self-esteem & confidence

• Grooming and learning about horse care can establish a lifelong passion for horses and other creatures, laying the foundation for character development, increased confidence, and higher self esteem.
• Horses primarily communicate through their body language. Understanding and replicating their nonverbal cues can assist kids with their own self-awareness and impact on others.

Teamwork with compassion

• Horses rely on clear communication and genuine connection, skills that are essential for personal growth and effective teamwork.
• The strong bonds created between horses and their caretakers establishes a foundation of teambuilding and collaboration.

Reduce stress

• Kids who interact with horses experience less stress, according to scientific studies
• Our core Horse Zone Rules center on quiet and calm bodies when interacting with or near our horses. This helps build awareness and creates opportunities to center our bodies and nervous systems.
• Horse Zone provides all classes with a space to pause and practice mindfulness.
