New Canaan Mounted Troop (est. 1939) offers horseback riding lessons within a comprehensive Horsemanship Program focused on youth leadership development and horse care. The Super Troopers Therapeutic Program offers adaptive riding and unmounted equine care led by PATH Int’l certified instructors. We also host custom workshops and equine-assisted services for community groups, schools, healthcare, human services, and corporate teams.
All students and volunteers walk through our doors with a love for horses and leave with so much more!
HORSEMANSHIP PROGRAM
(Ages 7–17)
Designed for children and youth, the Full Horsemanship Program combines structured horseback riding lessons with hands-on equine care, barn management, and youth leadership development. Troopers build riding confidence, responsibility, and teamwork in a safe, welcoming environment.
THERAPEUTIC
PROGRAM
(Ages 4–85+)
Our Super Troopers program offers adaptive riding lessons and equine-assisted learning for children and adults with special needs. Through both mounted riding and unmounted horse care activities, participants work to achieve physical, developmental, cognitive and emotional goals.
WORKSHOPS
We offer custom-designed equine-assisted learning workshops for community groups, schools, healthcare, human services, and corporate teams. These unmounted, immersive, hands-on sessions allow participants to discover the transformative power of working with horses to strengthen communication, build trust, enhance leadership and sharpen emotional intelligence and social awareness.
