❄️ **Unmounted January Bingo is Here!** ❄️

January may be cold, but learning never stops at HM Riding Academy! Our Unmounted January Bingo keeps students engaged with fun, educational activities both at the barn and at home. It’s all about building knowledge, staying motivated, and making the most of the winter months—even when riding time is limited.

We love seeing our riders grow in and out of the saddle. Stay warm, keep learning, and let’s make January count! 🐴💙

When your lesson gets invaded by peacocks, you make the best out of it.

After working around them most of the night, we decided to try herding them. The girls managed to get all 5 peacocks out of the arena by the end!

🌟 Ba****ck December is HERE! 🌟
Time to kick off one of our favorite winter traditions — riding ba****ck all month long!

Riding without a saddle helps develop better balance, a deeper seat, stronger legs, and a more connected feel with your horse. Whether you’re working on the lunge line, practicing transitions, or just enjoying a calm walk around the arena, every ride counts!

Throughout December, we’ll be encouraging all students to hop on ba****ck (as appropriate for their level and horse) and enjoy this cozy, confidence-building way to ride. ❄️🐴

Let’s drop those saddles and make this month a fun and rewarding way to wrap up 2025! 🤎✨
