SunFire Equestrian

We live for sweet moments at the barn like this 💛

So all help appreciated this weekend! I know it is late notice, but we really need to finish moving out of the house in Whaleyville and we just cannot do it alone!

We also received a plethora of new fans and would like to hang all the fans (new and old) up in the stalls properly!

Meet Otter! 🦦🐴

Our newest lesson horse is an 11 year old, 16-hand Appendix gelding. Otter is the definitely of “more whoa than go,” making him a great partner for riders who enjoy a steady, confidence-building ride. With a background in both English and Western riding, Otter brings plenty of experience to our lesson program.

He’s incredibly sweet, loves attention, and will never turn down a treat! We’re excited to have this handsome guy join the SunFire Equestrian family and can’t wait for our riders to get to know him.

Be sure to say hello to Otter next time you’re at the barn! 💛

🐴✨ Riding lessons offer so much more than learning to ride!

For young children, time with horses helps build confidence, balance, coordination, responsibility, and patience. Every lesson teaches valuable life skills while creating unforgettable memories and friendships.

At SunFire Equestrian, we love helping young riders grow both in and out of the saddle. 💛

What has horseback riding taught your child?
