What you will learn

​

Here at Ascend, we believe that riding skills are only a part of true horsemanship. For this reason, our students will learn horse safety on the ground, how to groom and saddle a horse properly, and how to ride a horse correctly with balance and communication. Ultimately, successful riding is acquired by having a good partnership between horse and rider, and this is what we strive to teach our students. With us, you'll learn how to ride Western.
