Brighter Pastures uses proven experience-based horse-human interactions to foster behavioral, social, emotional, spiritual, physical, cognitive and psychological growth. Through riding lessons based on centered and balanced riding with emphasis on resistance free learning with the horse, students will ride in western saddles, English saddles, and bareback. Our students learn proper form, rein aids, leg aids, seat aids, and vocal cues.
