Current Programs
Hoofprints on the Heart has a new home at the historic Hagemann Ranch. We are very proud to be located at this historic Livermore landmark that dates to the early 1800's. The Regulatory Agreement which we recently signed with the City of Livermore assures that we will be at this location for many years.
Individualized therapeutic riding lessons are offered six days a week on a varied schedule. Weekly lessons are 30 minutes in length and cost $30.00 each. Our current teachers are Jenny Hindmarsh, who is NARHA Certified and Katy Kempton, who will be certified in August.
- Mounted Lessons- Students improve balance, achieve therapeutic goals and experience freedom of movement while gaining self-control and confidence.
- Ground Lessons- Students learn responsibility and improve daily life skills through classroom lessons about horse care and stable maintenance.
- Summer Day Camp- Hands-on equine-based activities in a camp setting.
