Building Confidence in Life while Raising the Next Generation of Horse People.
Building Confidence in Life while Raising the Next Generation of Horse People.
Want to learn to ride? Return to the sport? Or continue along your riding journey? We can help!
We strive to for a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, which gives students the ability to progress at their own pace and work through learning new skills without judgment.
We believe that a welcoming, encouraging environment is paramount when it comes to fostering room for growth and learning, as a human and as a horse person. We celebrate victories, big or small, and work through challenges as they arise.
WSEC is an active lesson barn. We enjoy offering events and opportunities to make social connections, have more time with and around the horses and to support each other through growth and learning.
We teach both children and adults.
Our lesson program starts at age 4. For younger students we highly recommend our Ponies and Preschoolers program.
We love sharing our passion of horses! We offer a few different programs to meet the needs of our community.

So much fun getting back into riding! Ingrid is the best trainer/barn manager in the business!! Such a great positive atmosphere! Best barn family I’ve ever been a part of!

My daughter who is 6 has been attending for her first ever lessons and it has been wonderful! They are so supportive and it’s a great place to be. She looks forward to it every week. The staff is so patient and kind. Thank you Ingrid!

Ingrid is excellent. She is so nice and welcoming. I’m an adult beginning rider. She makes me feel so comfortable during my lessons. It was clear from my first intro lesson that she was born to teach. I have always wanted to learn to ride but since I became an adult I was always nervous about starting. Ingrid has never made me feel silly for trying something new. She is encouraging and just a genuinely kind person. The atmosphere at the bar is warm and welcoming as well. Double D is the the best horse ever!

My daughter takes lessons here and is learning so much…Ingrid is an amazing instructor and I love watching my daughter grow as a rider here! I’m so glad that we found this place and am thrilled to be part of the barn family!
Melinda
Parent of Student
My daughter has been wanting to take lessons for years. We happen to find Ingrid and her team so I reached out for lessons. She welcomed us into her horse family and it has been great. Ingrid is patient, knowledgeable and a great motivator. My daughter has gained so much confidence since she started riding! Cannot say enough about Wide Stride!
