More about this center
About the Program
Ace Ranch Services specializes in Western riding and also has experience with English riding, jumping, driving and groundwork. Lessons are low-key and encouraging, class sizes are small, and students help set their own goals and progress at their own pace. The horses range from miniatures to draft crosses.
Its equine-assisted learning sessions are described as a hands-on way of using horses to build life skills and problem-solving. Sessions start on the ground and can move on to riding. Lessons can be adapted for people with physical, mental and emotional challenges. Ace Ranch Services is a riding and learning program rather than a therapy center, so families looking for hippotherapy or other clinical services should ask what fits their needs.
Getting Started
New riders get a free 30-minute skills and comfort assessment. Riders with special needs need a doctor's approval, must be able to mount, sit upright unassisted and follow simple instructions. Everyone signs a liability waiver, and close-toed shoes are required around the horses.
Lessons run Sunday through Friday in the afternoons and evenings, by appointment. One hour-long lesson a week is $40, or $235 for six weeks, and two lessons a week are $75, or $450 for six weeks. Packages can be shared. Clinics and group rides are announced on the ranch's Facebook page.
Location
The barn is at 1350 South Wasson Lane, River Falls, WI 54022, in western Wisconsin.
