Sacred Cross is proud to introduce The Polished Pony. A great place for children to learn. We are focused on our clients and their needs, many trainers only see the show ring when teaching students. We know there is so much more.

With our unique approach on training we have specialized programs to fit individual needs. We offer lessons for all levels of riders on their own horse or school horses. We also have a quality selection of horses for lease.

Lessons cover all aspects of horseback riding including: safety around horses, how to groom and tack up the horse before and after riding, and of course how to ride! Our main goal is to have fun while learning!

Lightfoot Horse Farm is located in Chico, CA (specifically Cohasset, CA) surrounded by Northern California’s most picturesque scenery! We are a small family farm, teaching private beginner lessons to children and adults alike. What sets us apart from other riding facilities is that we teach horsemanship, rather than just riding lessons. Whereas other facilities throw students up in the saddle at the first lesson, focusing on just one discipline of riding, we start from the ground up. Students become well-rounded, learning groundwork, handling, grooming, tacking, caring, feeding, and communicating with horses, as well as riding and basic vet care.

We do not focus on one discipline of riding, but incorporate both Western and English styles of riding in our lessons. We utilize all of our resources – from the round pen, to the arena, to the jump field, to the miles and miles of trail that surround our property. Lightfoot Horse Farm teaches natural horsemanship, a philosophy of working with horses based on the horse’s natural instincts and methods of communication, with the understanding that horses do not learn through fear or pain, with an emphasis on safety and education....
