Update

Updated 04/28/2008

The Riding Academy offers all of our lesson horses a retirement program.  Complete with dental, health care and board.  We believe that our wonderful lesson horses, that have given lessons for 10 years or longer, should be guaranteed a safe place to live.  We are very fortunate, are lesson horses live an average of 35 years and our ponies live 45 years. The non academy average horse lives between 20 to 25 years and ponies live an average of 30 to 35 years.  Our lesson horses also seem to stay healthier longer, too.  We have some lesson horses that are in their mid 20's that are rated to only give upper level lessons.  They just have too much energy to give a lower level lesson.
