I rode here for only about a year, but in that year I learned so much! I have been riding since I was 11 but I had been stuck in one area for quite some time. Riding at Cantera improved my confidence and riding skills so much. They take very good care of their horses and staff are so kind and helpful. The other students have all been nice as well. Absolutely love it there and appreciate the teaching methods. Cantera is an amazing place for you to make steps towards your riding goals. My whole life I wanted to jump but felt I wasn’t even good on the flat after so many years. At Cantera I began jumping and learned so much more about suppleness, flat work, and jump skills.

We brought our granddaughter here. It is a wonderful atmosphere. The people are so knowledgeable. They have taught her how to saddle her horse and get ready for her lesson. The teacher is so good, makes sure she understands and is very positive, patient and has given her confidence. I would highly recommend this place

Julie and Cindy are great. There are other riding coaches as well, but I haven't met everyone yet. My niece has been training for about 4 years now and has learned so much. Not only about riding, but also about horses and how to care for them. There are kids as young as 3 learning the basics and teens that look like champions.

We hosted my daughter's 7th birthday here and it was exceptional! They provided three horses for all different riding (and confidence) levels. All the girls loved the tour and getting the horses ready for riding. I would recommend Cantera to anyone.
