We teach safe handling, grooming, tacking, groundwork, and mindful riding, paired with dependable lesson horses and a convenient in-town location, so every rider can learn, grow, and have fun safely.
With the right instruction, riders gain confidence, understand their horses, and build skills that last a lifetime. In our safety-first program, students become capable, thoughtful horsemen and horsewomen, not just passengers in the saddle. They learn to communicate clearly, ride with purpose, and truly enjoy every moment with their horse. This is where riders grow, progress, and discover just how rewarding horsemanship can be.
Located in the heart of the Gallatin Valley and close to town in Bozeman, Montana, we invite you to come ride with us and enjoy one of the best horsemanship experiences the Valley has to offer.
From western speed events to English flat work, we offer a variety of lesson programs to suit all age groups and abilities.

Amy Prechter has a lifelong history of horses and has made horses a part of her everyday life, education and career. In her youth, Amy grew up showing and competing on Morgan Horses.
In 2005, Amy developed her very own equestrian operation that she named Cedar Ridge Equine, as she wanted to include a variety of horses in her program, particularly Quarter horses.
In 2018, Amy met her husband, Justin Hanson, and together they have continued to share and expand, bringing the business to a new level. Both are passionate about horses and love being able to work side by side training horses and riders.
