About CBC:
CBC Therapeutic Horseback Riding Academy, is a family ran and operated program. CBC meets riders and horses right where they are at, and focuses on the goals of each individual student to help ensure that they reach them. Some goals may be interpersonal with riders themselves, or goals towards their knowledge in the equine world, no worries, we are here to help. CBC will help enhance all riding and horsemanship skills by providing both group and private lessons, as well as horsemanship clases, both in person and online.
​
No experience is required to join the academy. If you have never touched a horse a day in your life, no problem, we will start at step one. If you have several or plenty years of riding experience, no problem, lets pick up where you left off. Everyone is welcome.
​
CBC Staff are also equipped to work with anyone who may have a learning disability, or a mental health issue. As said before, we meet everyone where they are at.
