Being a horse owner is tough! There's so much more to it than hopping on and riding. You have to know basic health care, first aid, nutrition, behavior AND training. All before you can even ride!
If you're like most of my students before they joined the Academy, you're probably feeling frustrated, confused and worried you're not doing the best for your horse.

If you're like most of my students before they joined the Academy, you're probably feeling frustrated, confused and worried you're not doing the best for your horse.

  • You don't know what you don't know.

  • You don't know what to do next.

  • You don't know how to communicate with your horse without frustrating moments.

  • You may even be struggling with behavioral issues with your horse and don't know where else to turn.

  • OR Everything's dreamy, you just want to make sure you're doing the best you can for your horse.

Which of these sound like you?

So you go on YouTube, ask in horsey FB groups, search google, but the trust is there is no one right answer for you and your horse and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be done.

But It's Not Your Fault!

Most trainers teach what to do, but not how, or why, or what else to do if it doesn't work the first time.
If you don't become your own horse expert, you run the risk of your horse becoming a glorified lawn ornament, developing dangerous vice and habit, or worse, injuring you in the process.

How do I know? Because I've been there!

How do I know? Because I've been there!
I was a teenager when I got my first two horses. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I loved horses and needed them in my life.
Not only did both become glorified lawn ornaments and developed bad vices, I ended up the ER. Twice! We ended up having to rehome them and I want to help you avoid the guilt and shame I went through.

So what's the solution?

Continuing education.

It sounds simple, but think about it. Show me one professional who doesn't do continuing education? Who has "arrived" as the best in their industry and stops studying or training.
Show me one expert who doesn't have a team of coaches behind him.
Your horse wants you to become an expert. He can't tell you what's wrong. He can't tell you what he wants. It's your responsibility to learn as much as you can about him and his needs.

What horse lovers just like you are saying about the Academy...

... the comprehensive tool that you need as a new horse owner

Lindsey Rains (Encinitas, CA)

"When you own a horse of your own, it's hard to "know what you don't know". I remember just feeling like every week as a new horse owner, there was always something new that I had to troubleshoot that I often wondered what I was missing and how I could care for my horse better...Cornerstone Equine Academy is the comprehensive tool that you need as a new horse owner. You'll not only learn so much about how to give your horse the absolute BEST care possible, but you will also be able to troubleshoot training and riding issues, how to understand your horse's psychology, and the WHY behind all of the best practices of horse ownership. I could not recommend this membership more!"

"Everything I Could Ever Want in a Horsey Membership!"

Brianna Nash (Seminary, MS)

The lessons are beautifully taught, easily understandable, and I learn something new in every single one. I can go to the specific lesson if I'm working on a specific problem, or go through the modules in order for a full-on mini-course. Love it!

"Awesome program and I’m glad we tried it!"

Danielle Bock

I used this program for homeschool as a add on for career exploration. My son loved that it was simple to follow, easy to navigate, and lots of useful information. He knows a lot but he said there was a lot he didn’t know!

New horse owner saves her horse's life!

Kristin Amber

Unfortunately this [dehydration] test that I learned from your training came in handy recently! Thankfully my daughter and I had learned his from you as new horse owners and were able to fix the issue quickly!! Thank you!!

"An affordable program that helps individuals that want to learn more like me!"

Loretta Maskell

Great education materials and easy to understand. An affordable program that helps individuals like me that want to learn more... It is an awesome program and I would encourage everyone that has a horse and works with horses or just in general loves horses to check it out. I have learned a lot! Lauren is absolutely amazing if you have any questions, she gets right back with you and answers them!

I know, I know...okay...but how much does it cost?

In person riding lessons cost anywhere from $180-$400 per month.

I know, I know...okay...but how much does it cost?

  • In person riding lessons cost anywhere from $180-$400 per month.

  • A virtual riding lesson is anywhere from $75-$135.

  • Sending your horse away for training for 30 days costs between $1000-$2000.

  • Vet bills from preventable injuries can be anywhere from $275-$1000.

  • The bachelors in Equine Studies I received (and that I share with you!) cost roughly $250,000 for four years.

Why those don't always work...

However I know riding lessons alone only look at a piece of the picture.
Sending your horse away for training means you get back a horse broke to ride for someone else.
And most people don't have the time and money to go to college to learn about horses.
But over the past few years, I've seen more and more horse lovers struggle to understand their four-legged partner.
They get stuck, frustrated and lose their confidence. Which means their horses loses confidence in them too.

Pricing Options

In person riding lessons cost anywhere from $45-$100/hr.
