Do you want riding lessons for FREE??? Yes, you heard that right, free! We are currently in search on VOLUNTEERS to help out with barn chores in exchange for free or discounted lessons! Chores are typically from 7am to 11am, and they involve feeding the horses, turning them out, cleaning stalls, sweeping barns, and watering. It is hard work but it is very rewarding, good exercise, and you get to hang out with these beautiful animals all morning long! We are flexible to work with your schedule, as we are currently looking for volunteers multiple days of the week. We will discuss the exchange rate for lessons with each individual based on their availability- typically one day of chores will equate to one free lesson! Send us a message today for more information if you are interested in joining our team!

This week for our jumping lessons we worked on grids! Grids consist of a series of jumps in a row to help riders work on their form and position by jumping multiple times in a row down a line. We have multiple levels of riders jumping the grid, from beginner cross poles all the way up to advanced riders.

Interested in joining our program? Message us to join our volunteer program and trade working hours for riding time! We are open to offering leases, lessons, or practice rides for the right workers. Message us today for more information!

🚨Naming contest alert! Pick the best name and win a free lesson!🚨

This is our new and yet unnamed mare. She is 14.2 hands high, very nervous to be in a new home but very sweet, and seems to be warming up to us very well. Before she came to us she was living in a horse rescue, she is also pregnant and will be due this spring! This contest is open to NEW STUDENTS ONLY, and whoever picks the perfect name for this beautiful girl will get one free lesson with one of our trainers here at Over the Top Equine! Submit your best name ideas for this beautiful girl in the comments below, and come in and meet our other lovely horses and take a tour any day!

Today’s feature is on our lesson horse Blue! He is 10 years old and his prior “career” before coming to us was as a trail horse. He has jumped 3’6” so far, and has the potential to go higher! He loves jumping, but dislikes working hard- he loves getting treats and hanging out with his girlfriend and pasture mate Stella the most. His favorite treat is anything you give him, but he particularly loves eating Twizzlers. His unique coloring is considered a Blanketed Appaloosa Blue Roan, which is also the reasoning for his name! Schedule a lesson today to have a chance to ride him! Check the comments to see a video of this handsome man in action!
