Nice to meet you! We are a small family-owned barn in Northern Utah. Plain City, UT to be exact. Talia Dodd has been involved with horses for 20+ years and has experience in a wide variety of disciplines, including showing on the local and national levels. We offer boarding, riding lessons, and on occassion horse training. In all aspects, we focus on building healthy relationships with our horses and amongst our peers in the horse industry, and just strive to have fun!
Youth Sessions - $35
We prefer to use the term “sessions” rather than “riding lessons” because we strive to educate our students on so much more than simply riding horses. We teach total horse handling and ownership. Students learn how to care for horses including: grooming, tacking up, riding, untacking, feeding, groundwork, and so much more. We believe that in order to ride these magnificent animals, we have to completely understand them and what goes into caring for them. This is also why sometimes our sessions are not under saddle, but actually involve groundwork such as working in the roundpen and in-hand activities. We find that this holistic approach to our sessions provides an abundant benefit to the students. Interacting with horses on this level teaches our youth so much more than riding. It equips them with skills that are applicable to all aspects of life, such as:
Leadership skills
Communication skills
Accountability
Self-awareness
Self confidence
Patience
Persistence
In addition to the physical benefits of: balance, coordination, better reflexes
The list goes on
Adult Sessions - $35
Our adult sessions operate the same as our youth sessions and our adult students experience the same benefits.

Good morning, detectives! Collecting donations for the Policeman's Ball? We don't have balls. I honestly have no response for that. Need I remind you, Mr. Spencer, what happens when you interfere with a police investigation? Uhhh... The case gets solved?
Remember, Dad, you treat a woman like a person, then a princess, then a goddess, then a person again.

No pepperoni? Really? Plus the blatant disregard and utter criminal lack of ham and pineapple. What kind of a good faith negotiation is this? I mean, this is a hostage negotiation! Well, I don't care if you're not happy with the ingredients. Put the pizzas down and walk away!
Told you so. Touché. You can't touché yourself. Sure I can. Your bad. It's not my bad. You can't "my bad" for someone else.
Whether you are just starting your journey with horses, or looking to get more into showing and competing, or just wanting to develop a better relationship with your horse, we would love to get to know you and work together! We offer boarding, lessons, camps, coaching, etc.!
A little bit about our philosophy, we focus heavily on relationships, and that's relationships between us and our horses, and our fellow equestrians. We consider a holistic approach to everything. When it comes to our horses and their wellbeing, we take everything into consideration from their physical to their mental wellbeing. When it comes to educating others, we take the same approach. Our lessons are more than simply riding, they are a well-rounded education. It is our goal for you to develop into an avid horseman and ultimately not need us. This is why we teach everything because being around and owning horses is so much more than just sitting in the saddle. Our horses are our partners and it's imperative that we develop a solid level of communication and respect with them, as well as with one another.
