About Us
The Mini Rider Academy is a place for kids, ages 3-16, to experience the world of horses outside of your traditional show barn setting. We've created programs rooted in safety, kindness, and fun; with a wide range of equestrian topics taught by experienced
equine professionals.
Kind, Positive and Fun Environment
Kindnes is key; for both our horses and students! Our instructors specifically trained to work with young kids and our riders learn to respect horses from the ground up.
Rescued & Retired Horses
Our 501c3 Non-Profit rescue and retires horses into our program.
