The Horsemanship Academy has been a wonderful experience for our whole family. Our 12-year-old…read moredaughter has received generous time and attention. She has grown as a rider and an individual. Kajsa treats her as a person, not a child, and allows her to learn and ride at her own pace. This makes our daughter feel special and empowered to grow. Through Kajsa's generosity, our daughter has been able to get involved in the workings of the barn as well as special activities. She has made friends and discovered a whole new world. She is always excited to ride, as much as she is excited to work in the stable or the tack rooms. This experience has enriched her life well beyond the ring. The facilities at Horsemanship Academy are excellent and easy for children to navigate. You can't beat the wonderful environment of Rancho Santa Fe, with trees, sky, water, and plenty of fresh air. It's hard to think of a better environment for a child. And, of course, the horses. We have all made friends with the numerous gentle, happy animals at this barn, all of whom have taken a special place in our hearts. They are well-cared-for, happy animals that are a treat to know and work with. Overall, Horsemanship Academy is truly a five-star experience. Thank you, Kajsa!

The owners Ann and Frank are the nicest hardworking people you will ever meet. They are both 100% hands on people, and for that reason you get a family environment when you walk in the barn.

She is being trained very well by all the trainers, especially Katie & Ann. They both take the time to teach fundamentals to make her a better rider. Our older daughter has a developmental delay, her trainer, Aurora is very patient but disciplined while keeping a calm presence.
