Request Your SpotOur Start Up Saturday sessions are designed for riders ages 6 & up.
At this age, kids can safely interact with horses, learn riding techniques, and begin to absorb the deeper life lessons that come with caring for and working alongside these amazing animals.
If your child is younger, we can offer a condition-based analysis to assess whether or not they’re ready for riding lessons with us - in this case, we’d recommend scheduling a one-on-one introductory lesson instead of a Start-Up Saturday Session.
We provide everything you need to start riding - no horse ownership or gear required. Just bring your boots, excitement to learn, and we’ll handle the rest.
Unlike seasonal sports with short 3-month cycles, our riding lessons provide steady growth and consistency without the stress of game days, team schedules, or extra coordination.
Our experienced instructors are not just teachers — they're mentors who are passionate about helping you become the rider you've always dreamed of being.
Picture yourself riding through lush pastures and open trails, surrounded by nature and the gentle breeze.
Our horses are the heart of what we do. They're friendly, well-cared-for, and perfect for all riders, whether you're just starting or ready to compete.
Your safety comes first. We provide all the necessary guidance and gear to ensure you ride confidently and securely.
As soon as your child is able to focus and follow directions, they can start—typically around age 6.
These sessions are for kids aged 6 & up and might not be the best option for adults. However, WildHeart DOES offer lessons for adults! So if you’re an adult that wants to get or come back into horse riding, we invite you to book a one-on-one introductory lesson with us via this link.
Make sure your kid wears comfortable pants and a fitted shirt. Legs must be fully covered. Closed-toe shoes only. Boots are best & also the safest option. We provide helmets - you do not need to bring your own.
Not at all! Most of our riders are beginners. You just need a great attitude and love for horses—we’ll help with the rest.
Safety is always a priority. We pair riders with gentle horses and provide full supervision. But—it’s a sport. You should be mentally prepared that one day, you might fall. We teach you how to fall safer, too.
Your session will be a group session and include no more than 20 people. Our instructors will have an upfront plan for all stations to make each session a phenomenal experience. If you’re curious about future lessons, most of our lessons are private - the goal of Start-Up Saturday sessions is for you to experience WildHeart before you make any commitments.
If your kid can walk, move around, and listen to instruction - they can ride. Riding builds strength and balance as they go.
