S.A.F.E.R. Horsemanship can hold the reins to your happiness with horses.

Everyone is welcome!

You can be 7 years old or 70 years old and our style of natural horsemanship & classical methods work because S.A.F.E.R. Horsemanship is not based on intimidation, 'manhandling', or Olympic level agility. It’s based on an understanding, horse psychology, and better communication.

Safe starts with simple!

Our Certified professionals break down all of the concepts, exercises, and information into well thought out steps. From SAFE horse handling skills, to achievable goals, fun learning, effective horsemanship and respect have kept our students happily in love with their horses.

We have hundreds of testimonials from students who have been in our programs, people just like you, that are having unimaginable success with their horse. Our proven S.A.F.E.R. Horsemanship skills set is endorsed by Olympic and World Champion riders and trainers. Our graduates go on to be respected, knowledgeable and capable horse people, who frequently return to the farm as special guest instructors, trainers and riders. Our graduates have been successful in combining their love of horses and their professional lives.
