Time is running out to join us! Bring your own horse to one of our “Fun With Ground Poles” clinic sessions this Fall at Danada Equestrian Center. If we have good weather, it will be at Danada Equestrian Center, if the weather is poor, it will be held at SJF Indoor Arena.

Clinician Kelley Shetter-Ruiz will instruct riders over ground and cavaletti poles in a series of fun and challenging exercises to strengthen the communication between horse and rider. Riders will learn how to identify training issues and use pole exercises to help resolve them. Each 90-minute lesson will be tailored to your experience level and accommodate three or four horse-and-rider pairs. Western or English riders welcome!

When registering for your session, note if your horse is short- or long-strided to maximize your learning and training benefits. Ages 12 and up; under 18 with an adult. $25 nonrefundable registration fee. $115 per horse-and-rider pair. $20 for a day stall (not required), $10 audit fee.
For more information and to register, call 630-668-6012 or message us on Facebook. *current Coggins is required

Come out and celebrate the Year of the Horse and see some amazing demos. Danada's Fall Festival takes place this weekend from 11-5pm both days. There is no fee to attend. Don't forget to choose a pumpkin to take home! 🎃

Did you know that Danada volunteers grow pumpkins that you can pick up at Fall Festival? That's right! For a small donation, you can pick your pumpkin and take it home. Then you can rest easy, knowing that your donations are helping feed our herd. (Not pumpkins though!)

We also have pony rides, hobby horses, wagon rides, exhibitors with fun kid crafts, entertainment, food trucks and of course the plethora of amazing horse demonstrations. Be sure to swing by paddock one during our DEC Meet and Greets and say hi to your new favorite horse while learning about volunteering!

Come out to Danada Equestrian Center next weekend from 11am-5pm. Can't wait to see you!
