LionHeart Riding Academy students learn all aspects of horse care and contribute to the care of their lesson horse -- before and after their lesson.  
 
We teach and model problem-solving skills.  Riders must think their ways through many different situations -- they must learn to anticipate and respond to changing conditions on an ongoing basis.
 
LHRA students learn about responsibility. . . and the reward of a job well done.
 
 
 
Independence
“Riding at LionHeart has been her touchstone for courage and independence -- both of which have helped her navigate the difficult choices young teens are faced with today.”
 - LHRA mom
“Horse, thou art truly a creature without equal, for thou fliest without wings and conquerest without sword.”  
-The Koran
“The horse:  Here is nobility without conceit, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity, a willing servant, yet no slave.”
