Horsemanship for

Happiness, Health & Wellness

Simply by spending time with horses, we receive a wide variety of health and wellness benefits. Regardless of age, gender, or ability level, these magnificent animals enrich our lives in a multitude of ways.

Studies from around the world continue to show gains in physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing in individuals who practice any and all types of horsemanship. The physical benefits of horseback riding are undeniable, however riding is not necessary in order to reap the rewards associated with horses. Grooming them, petting them, even just standing with them lowers blood pressure, heart rate, tension, and stress levels, while increasing clarity, focus, and joy.

Horses accept us as we are, where we are, while we learn and explore, holding no grudges or judgements, despite the mistakes we may make along the way. The freedom of this allows us to increase our confidence and work on assertiveness skills with very little external pressure. This in turn helps to raise our self awareness, as well as awareness of our surroundings. In this upward spiral of wellness, we also gain a bond unlike any other!

Blue Star Equine Adventures offers customized lesson plans, tailored to suit the needs of each student. Our purpose is to help students meet their horse related goals in a fun, relaxed environment. We encourage personal growth along with the development of strong relationships between students and any horses they may have the opportunity to work with. People of all ages, financial situations, and ability levels are welcome to come out and step into the wonderful world of horses!

About Us

Blue Star Equine Adventures is a family run, soulful small business located in the Cariboo Chilcotin region of beautiful British Columbia. After a series of health challenges and misadventures, we experienced many of the gifts horses can provide and set out on a journey of learning and discovery. Along the way we became more and more fascinated with the physical, mental, and emotional benefits that horses have to offer us. It became a passion to share this information with others, promoting joy, health and wellbeing with the help of our eclectic rainbow herd. We began offering lessons in 2011 and in 2014 moved the business to our 55 acre off-grid piece of wilderness, where everyone is welcome- all ages, all ability levels.

We believe in a holistic approach to horsemanship, as well as to life. An integral part of this is connecting with animals, a community of like minded people, and the natural world. To that end, we ride in the great outdoors year round and also offer nature activities, where we have the opportunity to relax, refresh and reconnect.

We also believe that there is no one size fits all riding lesson or horse experience, and our goal is to help each student find their own path. The services we provide can help you discover more about horses, more about nature, and most importantly, more about yourself!

As we continue to expand and develop our property, we will be offering more services. Keep an eye out for updates!
