Mill Swamp Riders do not learn how to win ribbons in the show ring. They do not
learn how to sit up straight and demonstrate "classical riding skills." Instead they learn how horses think
and how to develop real relationships with horses. They learn to train the horses and themselves for endless hours of
riding on the trails. They learn how to safely and humanely control horses. They learn to control their emotions.
They learn to demonstrate maturity.
Mill
Swamp Riders range in age from five to over fifty. They participate in educational seminars and have a first rate library
of natural horsemanship at their finger tips. They work to save rare and endangered horses, like the Corolla Spanish mustangs.
They understand that they are not just taking "riding lessons", but instead are part of a movement to promote natural
horsemanship and natural horse care.
And they do all of this quite afforably.
Our current monthly rate is $160.00 with discounts for additional children in the family. Parents of riders ride at
no charge. Our fee structure is not hourly because there is no additional fee for extra hours in the saddle.
In the summer, several of my riders spend between ten and twenty hours a week at the horse lot with no extra charge.
