OUR PHILOSOPHY
We offer top level education programs on and with horses. We have individualized lesson programs catering to the needs of the individual student.
SFE has a maximum of 4 riders per lesson, but most are private or semi-private lessons to allow for the best and safest learning environment.
Our horses are our family. They are incredibly patient and kind, as well as well trained. All of the horses in our program are show quality horses that are healthy and love their jobs.
Our program is small to ensure the greatest quality for horses and riders alike.

Little Stirrup
Kids aged 2-8
Lesson Length: 45 minutes
This program is designed for kids to learn about ponies! What they eat, how they communicate, how we take care of them.
Students will learn how to groom, lead, tack up and untack their pony as well as basic riding skills one on one with their instructor. The 30 minute lesson includes both the in-barn and mounted time. This program was developed with the Pony Club & Equestrian Canada rider levels in mind.

This program is for students that are ready to ride independently from their instructor. Students will learn to get their horse ready independently, about horses, as well as about the equipment we use. This program sees students step up to the next level in their riding career and offers more mounted time on the horse as well as in barn learning. Students will learn basic horsemanship and a basic balanced position that will take them through any discipline.
