Dragonfly Dreams Horse Farm, LLC
Our Mission
We offer a peaceful, serene setting where we utilize horses for equine-assisted activities in order to achieve goals that enhance physical, emotional, social, cognitive, behavioral and educational skills. We focus on developing basic horse skills and knowledge, as well as establishing and developing the relationship between horse and rider, with a focus on the health and well-being of our horses.
We are a fun, safe, accepting, judgment free place to enjoy and learn about horses, horse care, and horseback riding, including grooming, handling, riding, trails, and care, based on natural horsemanship principals. We utilize our love of horses and interactions with them to learn about them and ourselves.
What We Do
About Us
Have you ever wanted to be in a place where you could escape, even for a bit, forget about the troubles of the day, and find your peace? Come for a visit. We will work with you, or your child, one-on-one to enjoy some horse time, learn to ride, learn basic horsemanship, build confidence, grow knowledge, and/or spend time with nature.
Our Goal
At Dragonfly Dreams Horse Farm, we are passionate about horses and our interactions with them. Our goal is to provide the highest quality services to our participants, while sharing our love of horses through teaching riding and horsemanship. While we are not licensed therapists, and do not conduct therapy with participants, however, you will find spending time here therapeutic in many ways, for your body, mind and soul.
Lessons
We teach riding and horsemanship through learning the basics of Natural Horsemanship, English, Western, and Dressage principals. We offer personalized training programs, whether you are looking to improve your riding skills, your horse connection, or just want some time to enjoy these magnificent partners.
Boarding
We offer limited boarding on a case by case basis. We have beautiful pastures, a 6 stall barn, a two horse run-in, restroom in the barn, tack and feed room, a large outdoor arena, and riding trails.
