Who is Ground to Saddle for?

Individuals new to horses who want to learn horsemanship skills in a supportive, fun, hands-on environment.

  • Adults or teens who “always wanted to learn” and want a confidence-building connection with horses.

  • Riders returning to horses after time away who want to rebuild foundational skills.

  • Anyone looking for a unique wellness experience that combines learning, healing, and personal growth in an inclusive community.

  • People considering horse ownership who are looking for an introduction to basic skills.

  • People who like to have fun, laugh, and learn new things.

The Ground to Saddle program at Bits & Pieces introduces participants to the foundational aspects of beginner horsemanship. Students learn hands-on skills such as grooming, feeding, and basic horse care, along with anatomy, safe handling, tacking/saddling, groundwork techniques, and other practices that build trust and communication between horse and handler.

By mastering these fundamentals, participants gain confidence, deepen their understanding of horses, and develop a strong partnership that enhances future riding experiences.
