Legacy HorseExperiences
Creating lasting connections between people and horses. Structured programs for youth and adults, plus unforgettable riding experiences for all ages.
Safety First
Safety awareness is woven into every lesson—from how to approach a horse to how to handle the unexpected. You'll leave knowing how to stay safe, every time.
Structured Progression
A 12-lesson curriculum drawing from 4-H equine program principles and the best practices of multiple professional horse trainers—combined into one practical, confidence-building program.
Real Horsemanship
Riders learn grooming, tack, horse care, and ownership—not just how to sit in a saddle. Real skills for real horse people.
Maximum 2 Riders
Program lessons are limited to 2 riders per session. Every student gets real attention, real feedback, and the focused instruction needed to build genuine confidence.
This program grew out of a genuine love for horses and a commitment to sharing that since I started with my first horse. With 24 years of horse ownership and hands-on experience as a 4-H group leader and youth horsemanship leader, the teaching approach here is practical, patient, and built around how people actually learn to ride with confidence.
The curriculum draws from 4-H equine program principles alongside techniques gathered from multiple professional horse trainers over the years—taking what works best from each and building it into a program that's clear, safe, and effective for complete beginners.
- Horse owner — 24 years
- 4-H youth horsemanship group leader — 8 years

Every lesson is built around knowing how to stay safe around horses—and what to do when things don't go as planned. That foundation comes from years of hands-on experience with horses and a professional background in healthcare that reinforces the importance of preparation, awareness, and calm decision-making.
Helmets are required for all riders under 18 and strongly recommended for adults. Waivers, medical releases, and emergency contact forms are required before the first lesson. Every horse is carefully matched to the rider's age, size, and experience level. First aid is on-site at every session.
Program lessons are limited to a maximum of 2 riders per session so every student stays visible, supervised, and progressing safely. The emergency stop is the very first skill taught the moment a rider gets in the saddle. The instructor reserves the right to adjust or stop any lesson at any time if safety is at risk.
Don't just take our word for it — here's what riders have shared after working with Brian and the horses at Legacy Horse Experiences.
Brian is so knowledgeable regarding horses, how to take care of them, and how to interact with them. He does such a great job introducing you to the horses and letting you interact with them personally. Brian has a very hands-on experience with his teaching and does it in a way that gives you so much confidence. No matter the level of experience you may have, Brian will help you grow so much in your interactions and experiences with horses. His horses are great to work with too, even if you have little experience around horses.
Brian is Amazing!! Although I'd been around horses before, he really helped build my confidence in riding and made me feel comfortable working with his horses. He's patient, encouraging, and great to learn from. His horses are amazing too!
"Going horseback riding with Brian was educational for me due to the knowledge he has of horses and horseback riding in general. As I was riding he re-taught me how to go faster on the horse, how to turn the horse around, and how to stop the horse. These are simple things but learning these simple things can help someone who has never ridden a horse feel confident in their ability to ride. He also has good knowledge of how to take care of horses so they are able to have someone ride them."
