📍 Chatsworth, CA
Comprehensive horsemanship program teaching classical dressage alongside horse care and responsibility skills. Popular summer camps and family-friendly atmosphere with lessons for all ages.
My daughter has been riding at TEE for nearly 2 years and I can’t say enough positive things about this place! The instructors are knowledgeable, engaging and super friendly. My daughter feels right at home when she’s at the ranch; she has learned so much and has developed a passion for riding. They were quick to figure out during COVID how to run a safe, awesome summer camp that they’ve done for years and we will be attending again. During camp, the TEE instructors were able to help my daughter really advance in her skills; she not only has become a good rider, but her riding lessons have been part of key character-building for her. The kids at the ranch learn the meaning of hard work, responsibility, focus, and the importance of caring for horses. I’ve definitely seen those traits translate into other parts of her life where she’s organized and dedicated to school and has even improved at doing her chores :). We’ve loved going to TEE so much that I’ve started taking lessons again as an adult, and it’s been great to be outside and connect with the horses while also gaining new skills in a sport I haven’t done in years. If you’re looking for a place that will advance your child’s skills as a rider, but also have a warm, safe, challenging, and very fun environment to learn in, TEE is an amazing choice!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Ideal for families seeking comprehensive horsemanship education that goes beyond just riding lessons. Best suited for children who can commit to regular attendance, as the program emphasizes responsibility and horse care skills that build over time. The summer camp is particularly popular and books up quickly.
