Whole Horse = Healthy Child

Our purpose is to provide safe and fun riding instruction while helping learn about lessons in horsemanship, sportsmanship & life through interaction with horses.

CHS specializes in teaching children, giving them a firm foundation in riding as well as other equine skills.
We believe that learning about the whole horse helps form a healthy child.


CHS has several different programs to suit different needs:

  • Weekly group lessons for those riders who are just learning or those riders who want to learn but not compete.
  • Horse Show opportunities for those riders who want to compete on their own using a CHS horse or their horse. 
  • One on one (private lessons) on your horse or a CHS horse.
  • Leasing program for those who want some extra practice.
