In Spring of 2005 we began our lesson program. Private Natural Horsemanship based Western, English and trail lessons are
$30.00 per hour. Please refer to rate and bio for Nanse Brown below if your desire is for more comprehensive instruction in
Classical English and jumping.
Lessons are offered from March thru November. The months of December thru February is vacation time for our "loyal steeds",
the horses!
Your lesson includes safety, grooming, tacking up, arena and trail riding and games on horseback. Our adult program is an
awesome opportunity to relieve stress and live out childhood dreams. For those of you that may have 2 children we will gladly
split the hour and still ensure that the children get adequate time on horseback.
Come and enjoy your time with the our horses and not just ride in circles!!!!
We are also proud to be affiliated with the "The Savvy Riders" 4-H club in Warren County. The club meets here at the farm
the 2nd (business meeting) and the 4th (riding meeting "bring your horse") mondays of the month. We have a large group and
participate in local county shows and of course the Warren County Fair.
As of 2008 we will be developing a official registered Pony Club membership and facility. Please call or instructor that will be
heading this program at 513-520-1224 for more info.

“I enjoy teaching, especially working with children and adults that have had traumatic experiences and need to gain confidence. I
try to incorporate classic equitation principles with helping the student understand his horse from a natural horsemanship
perspective. I like to figure out how to best communicate with each student individually to reach an optimum, happy relationship
between horse and rider. I’ve had a pretty interesting life, but the greatest thing that ever happened to me was accepting Jesus
Christ as my Savior. I fail Him all the time, but He never fails me!” Nanse Brown
