At Big Star Ranch, our focus is not just riding, but the whole horse experience. Our students learn how to halter and lead their horse, groom, saddle and ride. But there is so much more to horses!

They also learn how to "read" their horse. Learning how horses communicate helps with so many other aspects of everyday life. Our students learn how to be a better friend, increase their coordination, learn creative problem solving, better their communication skills, and see how they impact their world.

Some of our students are here for the physical benefits. Riding and working with horses can build core strength, muscles, flexibility and coordination.
