We established Griffinsburg Equine for the purpose of providing high quality riding instruction with the a family atomosphere. Over the years we have managed to maintain prices which are affordable to everyone. Our other goal was to provide a facility for equine rescue. We have saved a number of horses and provided or found loving homes for them. Some of them are still used as lesson mounts. As well as beautiful trails & guided trail rides, hauling, and a wide variety of wonderful horses at all price ranges for everyone.

Beginner lessons focus on the fundamentals: developing balance, good hand control, leg and seat aids, grooming, and walking and trotting. Lessons initially take place in our riding ring. As the student progresses, lessons are occasionally given on trails to help the student gain mastery of obstacles, crossing streams, opening and closing gates, etc.

Intermediate lessons help the rider to advance their level of horesemanship skills, focusing on a balanced seat, & becoming comfortable in specific disciplines: hunt seat, jumping , western pleasure, pleasure and trail riding.

There are always those horses that change your life in one way or another. I have met hundreds & have seen thousands. Some slaughterhouse-bound starvation cases, that nobody would think twice about killing, only because they looked like death. Racetrack rejects that just did not have the heart to run or the ones that did and could not stop, causing themselves irreversible damage. The horse that is afraid to be touched because time and time again they were punished for just being a horse. These are just some of the horror stories that the horses have lived in the past. Here at Griffinsburg Equine Center, they are my most cherished and the opportunity to overcome their fears. Most importantly, to live out the rest of their lives, with a ton of love; full of hope and new professions.
