At dreamweaver, we focus on recreational riding with a focus on wellness. We do not show or compete but instead emphasize skills such as confidence, emotional regulation, body control, empathy, and more. And dreams never expire! We have quite the group of older students who are returning to riding (our re-dreamers) or have always wanted to cross of riding on their bucket list! We offer constructive instruction so you will become a competent rider but in a way that empowers you in and out of the arena!
