Learn, Grow, and Aspire with Horses

Introduction to the SFS Equine Academy

At the SFS Equine Academy, we are committed to helping riders learn, grow, and achieve their equine goals. Our experienced instructors and comprehensive programs ensure a fun and educational experience for riders of all levels.

Our Unique "Level Up" Program and Levels

We utilize the "Level Up" academy-style program with progress-based lessons, allowing students and families to track measurable achievements in both mounted and unmounted horse skills. Our curriculum uses benchmarking systems to teach and test milestones, ensuring clear and confident progress.

Our Level Up program features a series of levels designed to challenge and develop our students:

  • Rainbow Buckaroo - 1st Level

  • Red Ranger - 2nd Level

  • Yellow Wrangler - 3rd Level

  • Green Gaiter - 4th Level

  • Blue Breezer - 5th Level

  • Orange Outrider - 6th Level

  • Purple Pacer - 7th Level

  • Teal Tracker - 8th Level

Important Note: Each level focuses on different skills and objectives, allowing riders to progress at their own pace.

Exclusive Benefits for Students

In the Fall of 2023, we began our exclusive SFS Level Up program to encourage our students to improve their riding skills by getting in a minimum number of lessons each month to practice their skills. As with any sport, regular practice is needed and we were finding that we had a significant number of students that weren’t growing steadily in their riding due to their lack of opportunity to practice. This program has helped so many of these students to grow into more accomplished riders that we are now requiring all new students at Sun Fire Stables to be a part of this program. Level Up Program members will enjoy the following perks of being a Level Up member:

  • 4 standard lessons per month

  • Priority lesson scheduling

  • Priority scheduling for Youth Day Camps

  • Access to our online Resource Center

  • Eligibility to lease SFS-owned horses

  • Participation in the SFS Show and Versatility Team

  • Tracking and progress materials

  • Level Up Step-Up Day participation.

  • Access to exclusive events and shows
