We cater to your needs;

Here at True Heart Equine, the main goal is to teach and empower others. We provide educational lessons and clinics of all sorts; Whether you are a beginner just getting started, an intermediate rider looking to expand your knowledge, or someone who has been around horses in the past but had a scary experience. We are here for what ever you need!

Never been on a horse? NO Problem!

Our horses are very well trained and are used to beginner riders.
If you are seeking to get back into horses, or want to get started for the first time, we can accommodate you! Lessons are taught year round from the middle of the winter to the warm summers! We offer guided trail rides for those horse enthusiasts who wish to experience horseback riding through scenic central Iowa.
Our lesson program is for ages 3 on up. We fully believe in a hands-on approach through grooming, saddling, bridling, feeding, and riding of an assigned horse.

Sometimes you need a little help~

Its easy to get stuck in a rut. Sometimes that fear creeps up and you don't know how to overcome that deep discomfort. We are here to help you in a non-judgmental and safe environment tailored to boost your confidence and education.
We offer laid back, gentle sessions for those who are overcoming fears.

We offer a multitude of options~

Lessons can be individual or group lessons.

We teach year round from the middle of the winter to the warm summers! We will match you with one of our exceptional lesson horses that will increase your confidence and skills.

Speed event clinics and private sessions for intermediate to advanced riders include barrel racing, pole bending/weaving, Jumping figure 8, key race, and all the other sanctioned Fun Show and 4-H games.
