Equine Learning
Join our Herd
We’re proud to operate out of SonFlower Ranch — a tranquil home to numerous animals (including horses, goats, birds, and much more) in Brighton, Colorado.
Customized Experiences
Before beginning, we’ll discuss your horse experience, interests, and goals to create an equine experience that’s fully custom to you.
Each lesson will build your confidence and equine skills including safe practices, body language, approaching, haltering, leading, grooming, tacking, and preparation for safely riding horses.
Please note: We only offer youth (aged 12+) and adult lessons at this time. Riders under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult for each lesson, not riding only as the responsible caregiver.
Pricing
$75 for a 1.5 hour minimum lesson of equine learning
$275 for 4 - 1.5 hour lessons of equine learning
We are dedicated to making equine activities accessible and offer sliding scale pricing and work exchange for underserved community members.

Mane Joy Connection @SonFlower Ranch
We can customize a program for your organization!
We developed the, Strengthening Leadership Through Horses program for our community partner, STAR Girlz Empowerment, Inc. The program taught equine safety fundamental skills that emphasized the transferrable skills in leadership that horses provide.

“I'm glad safety is a big part of Mane Joy's classes. Carla has been really patient and enjoyable while our lessons progress.
I love horses even more today because of the close interaction we are sharing. It’s so fun!”
