Our Philosophy

At Kolt Equestrian, we believe that great riding goes beyond technique - it’s about building a partnership between horse and rider based on trust, respect, and understanding. Every student and every horse is unique, which is why we tailor our approach to fit individual personalities, goals, and learning styles. We value the importance of being well-rounded, not only in riding disciplines but also in horsemanship and personal growth.

Our goal is to create a supportive, welcoming environment where riders can challenge themselves, celebrate progress, and enjoy the journey. We balance dedication and discipline with a sense of humor and joy, because we believe riding should be as fun as it is rewarding.

Core Values

Compassion & Respect
We treat every horse and every person with patience, empathy, and care. Respect is the foundation of our community.

Safety First
We put safety above all else. From helmets and vests to clear barn practices, we create an environment where riders and horses can grow with confidence.

Growth Through Learning
We believe every ride is a chance to learn. Whether you’re starting out or refining advanced skills, we encourage curiosity and steady progress.

Authenticity
We value honesty and being true to yourself. At Kolt Equestrian, riders are encouraged to show up as they are and build genuine connections.

Responsibility & Awareness
Horses feel our emotions and reflect our energy. Instead of blaming the horse, we teach riders to take responsibility, build self-awareness, and approach every ride with patience and understanding.

Approach to training

Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point. If you sell something, use this space to describe it in detail and tell us why we should make a purchase. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.

Long Term Vision

Kolt Equestrian is more than a barn - it’s a growing dream. Our vision is to expand our farm into a space that offers more horses, more lessons, and more opportunities for our community.

We’re working toward:

  • Greater capacity - adding room for more horses and riders to join our family.

  • Expanded programs - offering a wider range of riding lessons, training opportunities, and horsemanship experiences.

  • Community events - from horse shows and clinics to gatherings that bring riders, families, and neighbors together.

  • A premier facility - thoughtfully designed arenas, barns, and amenities that create a welcoming, professional environment for all.

Our long-term goal is to build a place that reflects the care we put into our horses and riders every day - a home for equestrians to learn, grow, and connect for years to come.

We like to keep things simple at Kolt Equestrian: respect the horses, respect each other, respect yourself and respect the space. When we all do that, the barn feels like home.

Here’s how we keep our community strong:

  • Respect is non-negotiable - kindness goes both ways, whether it’s toward your horse, your instructor, or a fellow rider.

  • Safety is part of the culture - helmets are always worn, and vests are standard here.

  • We show up ready - arriving 15 minutes early gives us time to groom, tack up, and settle in.

  • We take care of our space - everything gets put back where it belongs, and we leave things cleaner than we found them.

  • Check your energy at the gate - horses feel our energy. We bring a positive attitude, patience, and a willingness to learn to every ride.

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about creating a barn where everyone feels welcome, supported, and proud to be part of the herd.
