Horseback Riding in Shawano, Wisconsin (Shawano County)

Benson's Whispering Pines Farm is located just minutes west of Wisconsin Rapids, WI. We believe that learning to ride and working with horses should be a fun experience for people of all ages. With over 20 years of experience, we offer private lessons as well as working with 4-H, Girl Scouts and YMCA. Riders not only learn the fundamentals of horsemanship, but also about horses and caring for them. We also offer horse training, specializing in problem horses, tune ups and colt starting.

Harry: 15 year old white Shetland Pony gelding-Harry can be spunky and challenging or slow and sleepy, depending on who is riding him. He takes care of the littles and gives the more experienced rider a challenge. Harry can be ridden western or English. Harry is also a great jumper!

Twizler: 15 year old pony gelding-one of the student's favorites, this is not your typical sassy pony. He is a super steady obedient guy with lots of love and sweetness! Twizler can carry riders at walk, trot, and canter and can jump or be ridden western as well.
