Welcome to Destiny’s Ride
At Destiny’s Ride, we believe in the transformational power of horses. Our inclusive, goal-focused programs support riders of all abilities — helping build confidence, strength, communication, emotional regulation, and meaningful connection.
A Personalized, Family-Like Experience
At Destiny’s Ride, we intentionally keep our classes small so every rider receives the individual attention, encouragement, and connection they deserve.
Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and family-like environment where riders and horses grow together — step by step.

$100 per lesson • $800 per 8-week session
(1 hour · Private, 1:1 instruction)
This individualized equine experience is designed for riders who benefit from dedicated one-on-one support or have specific therapeutic, emotional, or learning goals. Each private session is fully tailored to the rider’s unique needs, pace, and abilities.
Sessions may include groundwork, grooming, mounted activities, or a combination of all three, with instruction adapted in real time to support regulation, confidence, communication, body awareness, and skill development. Private sessions allow for increased focus, consistency, and flexibility, making them ideal for riders who require reduced distractions, additional physical support, or individualized goal progression.
This option is also well-suited for riders working toward greater independence, building trust with the horse, or addressing specific behavioral, sensory, or motor goals in a calm, supportive environment.
Private Therapeutic Riding
$70 per lesson • $560 per 8-week session
(30 minutes)
One-on-one therapeutic instruction designed and guided through an occupational therapy lens, tailored to each rider’s individual goals and functional needs. Sessions may include grooming and tacking for upper-body strength and bilateral coordination, mounted activities to support posture, balance, and core engagement, and intentional sensory-motor experiences to promote regulation, confidence, and self-awareness. Each session is thoughtfully structured to support emotional regulation, functional skill development, and meaningful personal growth through the powerful movement and connection of the horse.
Best for:
• Riders needing individualized therapeutic support
• Sensory regulation, emotional regulation, or motor planning goals
• Riders who benefit from reduced distractions and focused 1:1 instruction
Private Traditional Lessons
$70 private • $560 per 8-week session
(30 minutes)
Traditional English-style private riding instruction focused on developing correct position, balance, steering, transitions, and overall horsemanship. Lessons are thoughtfully tailored to the individual rider’s experience, comfort level, and goals. This option is ideal for beginner through intermediate riders, including therapeutic beginners or adults returning to riding who value a safe, supportive, and caring environment. One-on-one instruction allows riders to progress at their own pace while building confidence, trust, and enjoyment in the saddle.
Best for:
• Beginner to intermediate riders
• Adults returning to riding or building confidence
• Riders who prefer individualized instruction in a calm setting
Early Childhood Therapeutic Riding - Children Under 5
$30 per session • 20 minutes • $240.00 per 8-week session
Early childhood therapeutic sessions are designed to support developmental foundations through equine-assisted activity guided by occupational therapy principles. Sessions focus on early postural control, balance, sensory regulation, motor planning, and caregiver-supported participation through gentle horse interaction and age-appropriate mounted or ground-based activities.
Because developmental readiness and safety needs vary significantly at younger ages, an initial assessment is required for children ages 2–3 to determine eligibility, appropriate supports, and session structure. This ensures that each child’s experience is safe, developmentally appropriate, and goal-directed.
Session length is intentionally brief to align with attention span, regulation capacity, and early childhood best practice.
