Horseback Riding in Gilroy, California (Santa Clara County)

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!

For those riders looking for something more we also have the opportunity to become a member of the show team.

Foundation before specialization. Relationship based Horsemanship

Instructing horse enthusiasts to become conscientious thoughtful horse owners.
Teaching from the beginning. Safety, how horses think and what are they feeling is SUPER important to me. I want to help my students create a calm responsive partner in their horse in what ever discipline they choose.
Keeping the horses mind and body relaxed is a high priority for me… not to say I won’t add pressure… I will… I just want to present it in a way not to overwhelm and blow up either the horse or student.
Keeping all that in mind this is what I go over in the beginner lessons:
Approaching horses, haltering , leading, grooming, minor vet care, health, nutrition, saddling, bridling, rein handling,
Leg cues, balance and equitation. I have access to arena and trails.
Students are started with a series of undetermined lessons on the ground first and foremost. As a student progresses in their understanding and response time they are moved into mounted education.

I also offer problem solving, trailer loading and obstacle clinics.
I have horses, if you don’t have your own. 150 lbs max weight of person to ride.
Beginners to advanced
6 years old and up
