Discover the Power of Horses to Heal and Teach

Where Every Ride Inspires Growth, Healing, and Joy

Southern Utah.

Our Approach

A Calming, Respectful Experience with Every Ride

Our sessions are held in a peaceful setting surrounded by Southern Utah’s red cliffs and open skies—a perfect environment to learn, reflect, and grow alongside these incredible animals.

Whether you’re coming for therapy-based sessions or horsemanship lessons, you’ll find a calm space where both people and horses are treated with respect and care.

Our Services

Meaningful Experiences for Every Rider and Learner

At Rising Sun Horse Service, we offer a range of programs designed to build confidence, foster connection, and create joy—no matter your age or experience level.

Equine-Assisted Learning

Guided personal growth through the power of horses.

Our equine-assisted learning sessions provide hands-on, reflective experiences that help individuals improve communication, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. Working in collaboration with a licensed therapist, we create a safe, supportive space where the horse becomes a partner in healing and personal development.

Horsemanship Lessons

Learn to ride—and to understand the horse.

With our structured curriculum, riders gain both technical skills and emotional awareness. Lessons cover groundwork, grooming, tack handling, and riding fundamentals, all taught with patience and encouragement. Each session helps students build trust, responsibility, and confidence with every ride.

Pony Parties

Unforgettable fun for birthdays and special events.

Make your child’s celebration truly unique with our gentle ponies and friendly staff. Kids can enjoy supervised pony rides, learn basic grooming, and pose for adorable photos. It’s a safe, memorable experience that connects children with animals in a fun, relaxed way.

Partnered Therapy Sessions

Collaborating with trusted mental-health professionals.

We proudly work alongside local therapists and counselors to create equine-assisted learning opportunities that complement traditional therapy. Clients can be referred directly through their therapist or contact us independently to begin the process. Together, we build experiences that nurture emotional healing and personal growth.
