Horse Programs at Ironwood Springs
Our first priority as the equestrian staff at Ironwood Springs is to be a part of a team that allows others to know Christ better through their experience at Ironwood. It is very important that we teach those who participate in our horse programs about normal horse behavior. It is critical that those who are around our horses are taught how to communicate with our horses effectively and safely. By encouraging good horsemanship from our participants, we are increasing the quality of their horse experience at Ironwood while being advocates for the horses that the Lord has entrusted us to care for.
Ironwood offers a varity of Horse Programs to fit the needs of individuals, groups, and families!
