Come to Whitethorn Academy and see what “The Whitethorn Experience” is all about. This is a 2-hour event that teaches you amazing circus tricks and basic riding instructions before heading out for a relaxed horse ride. At Whitethorn Academy, we have lessons that help our riders build their horsemanship and riding skills. Our students go through various riding activities and equestrian disciplines that build their skills. We are proud to say that some of our students are good enough to ride a horse without constant supervision. Students who have reached the excursion level will groom the horse on their own, saddle up and take it for a horse ride. Excursions let them develop their skills outside of formal training.
