 Fun in the Saddle  YOUNG OR OLD (Kids or Adults) with Malinda Kregowski

YOU’RE NEVER TO OLD OR YOUNG TO Learn to ride Western or English! Master basic horsemanship with experienced and qualified instructors. Learn to groom, tack, work from the ground, lunge, and ride on a well-trained lesson horse or pony. Then, advance to lead changes, lateral work and show grooming. Horse and helmets provided. Boots required. Ages 6+

The team of excellent and beloved school horses ranges from reliable and bombproof to show-worthy performance mounts; all are well trained and well cared for.  A wide variety of tack and equipment is available, and students become proficient at all aspects of grooming and saddling.  Equine Unlimited also offers opportunities to extend knowledge into all areas of horse management - feeding, bathing, show grooming, blanketing, cleaning stalls, vet and farrier visits, shots and worming, doctoring minor injuries and assessing illness, trailering, equipment maintenance, etc.

Malinda also accompanies interested students to shows across the west coast.  Local schooling shows are a fun and valuable experience for beginners, and the excitement and competitive atmosphere of high caliber rated shows, including THE PEBBLE BEACH CLASSIC, INDIO of the HITS circuit & THERMAL, is incomparable. They also often attend clinics hosted by notable professionals, which are great learning opportunities.

More valuable even than the skills learned, however, is the personal development that so often accompanies horseback riding.  Being able to communicate with such impressive animals builds confidence, especially for the shy and timid.  The many challenges and successes within this discipline generate feelings of accomplishment, of pride in a job well done.  A horse's surprising fragility and demanding care inevitably teach responsibility- students are accountable for as much of the horse's well being as is reasonable given their age and experience.  As with any activity, improvement is a result of practice and dedication, which also teaches responsibility.  The cherished horse-rider partnership and the friendly, social atmosphere at the barn, are draws  that have captured the hearts and energies of many Equine Unlimited horse-lovers.  The young and old alike, whether starting a life-long involvement or fulfilling a long-held desire, benefit from this unique experience.
