🌾🐴 Community Question from Ride Okeechobee
Hi everyone! My name is Donielle Harper, the owner and operator of Ride Okeechobee here in our Cowtown. I started this business not just to teach riding, but to help our community grow closer to horses, agriculture, and the kind of hands-on experiences that bring people together.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make lessons more accessible—especially for families and individuals who may not always have the opportunity to participate. One idea I’m exploring is group riding lessons at a lower cost, and before I move forward, I’d love to hear from you, my local community.
👉 Would you (or your kids) be interested in group lessons?
👉 Do you feel this could help make horsemanship more affordable and accessible for more people?
My goal has always been to give back, create opportunities, and make sure under-privileged members of our community feel welcomed and included. If group sessions could help more people get involved, I want to make that happen.
Please comment your thoughts below or send me a message — your feedback truly matters, and it helps shape the future of Ride Okeechobee. 💛🐎
Thank you for supporting small local businesses and for helping keep the spirit of agriculture alive in Okeechobee!
