Sierra Riding Academy

The mission of the Sierra Riding Academy is to provide students with an opportunity to take their horseback riding to the next level. We believe that working hard on the ground is just as important as riding, and all our riders are expected to pitch in through volunteer work and cleaning their own stalls when asked. Sierra Riding Academy allows children to have experiences with horses without the full time commitment of horse ownership. We hope to provide a bridge to horse ownership with our programs.

Community Service through Mentorship

We believe that the reason our SRA program is so unique is the ability to learn more about horsemanship by listening to instructors and helping other kids learn to ride. Additionally, while kids are helping out at the barn, they get to work with ponies and project horses, older kids go on the back of trail rides and they get many of the perks of being in summer camp by paying a fraction of the price.
All SRA riders will be required to do community service during the summer.
