Connect, Learn, and Grow Through Horses

Silver Saddle’s equine programs honor the unique partnership between humans and horses, fostering confidence, self-awareness, and personal growth. We offer educational, wellbeing, and equine-assisted therapy experiences designed to meet participants where they are and support their individual goals.

All programming aligns with the standards of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.), reflecting best practices in safety, animal welfare, and responsible horsemanship.

Horse Basics: From the Ground Up

Silver Saddle offers a safe, supportive introduction to horsemanship and beginning riding for youth and adults new to working with horses. Through hands-on learning, participants build confidence and practical skills—from horse handling and groundwork to grooming, tacking up, and mounted basics—with an emphasis on safe and humane horsemanship.

Equine-Centered Learning for Schools & Youth Groups

Silver Saddle partners with public, charter, and independent schools, as well as youth-serving organizations, to offer small-group equine learning experiences grounded in purposeful interaction with horses. These programs support academic, developmental, and leadership goals through working with horses to emphasize self-awareness, collaboration, and responsibility.

Community & Intergenerational Experiences

Our gardens and grounds offer accessible, non-riding, animal-centered experiences for older adults and community groups. Programs promote gentle engagement, social connection, and wellbeing through structured time spent with animals.
