HEART HORSE ACADEMY

Horse riding lessons and experiences in Vancouver, B.C.

 

Our approach

We are mothers. And horse lovers. We dreamed of having a horse focused program that values and celebrates the deep connection between kids and horses. Learning to be safe and kind horseback riders, we want your child to be able to experience and enjoy the remarkable bond that can exist between horse and human. The stable is a unique place where your child can be free to explore the natural world and be a valued member of a caring community.

Founders Amelia and Johanna have 20 years of professional coaching, handling, and stable experience. Johanna is a certified Equine Assisted Learning facilitator, Amelia has run a professional riding school in the Southlands area of Vancouver since 2007, in addition she is a an EC Beginner Instructor and an EC Competition Coach.

LITTLE HORSE LOVER

Starting June 2022

The term 'heart horse' was coined by horse lovers. It describes the love a child can feel for their four-legged friend. Ultimately, the work they do together and the mutual understanding they come to will make your child proud of their accomplishments.
