Making dreams come true…it’s what we do.

Dream Catchers has been very fun for me!  It’s something I can do when my friends are playing sports that I am not allowed to play.  Horseback riding is something that I love!  I’ve always loved horses since I was a little girl and Dream Catchers has been the greatest thing to happen to me.  I’ve learned a lot, and everyone is so nice.  They’ve got some great horses, too!

Our Program

Our program consists of small group and individual lessons.  A NARHA certified instructor will lead the lesson that is designed for the specific needs of the rider(s).  The lessons are on a weekly basis and last about one hour.  During that lesson, the rider will be instructed on horsemanship, grooming, tacking and mounted riding skills.  The skills addressed each week are determined by the rider’s capabilities and their assigned instructor.  Our primary goal at Dream Catchers is to move each rider towards greater independence, and to be there to support them in whatever way needed as they pursue their dreams.
