"Children and horses just go together!"

About Our Services

Rooted in Unity offers affordable horseback riding lessons and horsemanship experiences designed for individuals of all skill levels and abilities to enrich lives. Our program develops hard skills such as grooming, tacking, and horse care, as well as soft skills like leadership, communication, compassion, and courage. By connecting with horses and engaging in the responsibilities of riding, participants gain a unique opportunity to grow both personally and practically in a safe, welcoming environment.  Whether you're new to riding or seeking a positive outlet, we invite you to join us in discovering the transformative bond between humans and horses. Examples of our offerings: Farm visits, riding lessons and horsemanship, and special events.
