Richard Kirkman
Owner and Trainer / It has been my dream and pleasure to work with such amazing animals and wonderful students for the past ten years. With a soft hand and an open heart, I work with horses to help them reach their full potential. I have also had the opportunity to work with many individuals with special needs, such as, Autism, behavioral issues, PTSD, and developmental disorders. I am not a certified Equine Therapist, but I have seen miracles when humans and horses work together. I have watched children go from poor grades to good grades in a short period of time. I have seen personality issues go from bad to great. I have even seen a child, who could not walk without crutches, build muscle from riding… now she can walk without them.
I do believe that life truly is better with horses.

There are many wonderful places in the world, but one of my favorite places is on the back of my horse.
