Not just riding lessons

---

Our goal is to teach people about horses.  In turn, the horses teach all of us about life.  Some clients ride for fun or relaxation, but for others it becomes so much more.   It's the life lessons, the family we become, and the mental and physical health that riding offers us.

From a parent, Dec 2019:  "The day she started riding lessons, I thought it may be a fun hobby for her. Little did I know the amazing life lessons it would teach my daughter. She has learned how to be a team with a teammate that sometimes doesn’t want to work. She has learned compassion, for horses and the people who ride them. She has learned hard work, the kind that involves cleaning stalls, feeding, washing, trudging through snow and mud. She has learned that it isn’t always about the first place ribbons, but more about personal growth. She has learned to put another’s needs before her own, knowing that is the road to success. She has learned to be confident and how to lead. She has learned how to listen and take criticism.  

She has grown into an amazing woman throughout this journey. I am so grateful for that first lesson. It became so much more than a Christmas gift." 

We currently have two wonderful school horses that we consider the REAL instructors here.  They both ride english or western and have been shown by our students at the local county fair, won awards at the State 4H Expo and our local open shows, and have competed successfully on the local high school equestrian team. 

Why Creekview?  We offer a well thought out step-by-step plan based on safety, riding skills, and horse science and management knowledge that creates riders who are adaptable, positive, progressive, and goal oriented.  We've spent 30 years developing this program and are constantly revising and improving our system.  Our facility is safe, bright, warm, and our student group is friendly, positive, and supportive.  We're amazed every day how lucky we are to work with such a wonderful group of people.
