Justin on Smokey in 22 degree weather last February. Having ridden in colder temperatures in SD did not make this ride any warmer!

Students that stick with it thru the Winter months find it exhilerating, and in a lot of ways, more productive. Students find the experiences beneficial both as a rider and as a human. And Justin can tell you from first hand experience and thousands of miles in cold weather that the time spent makes you tougher and, more importantly, closer to your horse.

Who ever said reaching a "dream" (goal) was going to be easy? But you can if......
