Finding Your Grit. Learning Courage. Living Confidence.
At Stone Hill Sport Horse, we believe the barn is a place where young riders truly come into their own. Our program focuses on finding your grit—helping children move past self-doubt to discover the inner resolve found through equine partnership. We believe that true confidence is not merely taught; it is experienced. Through the unique bond formed between horse and rider, children develop the courage to face challenges and the resilience to navigate them. By emphasizing clear communication, empathy, and determination, we ensure every rider leaves the barn empowered, grounded, and ready to take on the world.

Experience and Dedication
With over 20 years of experience as an upper-level combined training event rider, a dedicated Pony Club graduate, and a lifelong horsewoman, our lead instructor Acacia Perko brings both professional expertise and deep compassion to Stone Hill.

Whether in the arena, at school, or at home, the courage they find in the barn helps them show up in the world with confidence and poise.
