The Quiet Magic of Horses, a special kind of magic — one that calms the anxious heart, builds quiet confidence, and invites the rider into a deeper sense of self. At Bridlewood Crossings, we see how a gentle horse and a caring mentor can inspire something lasting in a rider's heart.
Private horseback lessons are more than just riding. They're a journey into victory, perseverance, and tranquility — guided by wise and gentle horses. For beginners or returning riders, our instructors help build strength, calm, and connection, one step at a time.
Private instruction allows one-on-one training to assess needs and establish goals. These lessons are customized to fit the needs of each participant.
$100 for a 1-hour private lesson
$185 for Four-1 hour private lessons
Additional Facility Fee: There is a $10 facility usage fee per lesson, which helps us maintain a safe, clean, and well-equipped space for both riders and horses.
We believe that community, fun, and the beauty of the horse belong together — and we love creating those moments here at Bridlewood. Our horses and donkeys love to celebrate. For 2 hours we will celebrate together by offering a mini lesson for the one with the special day, 5-10 minute ride for all the children invited - up to 15 students, a craft provided, and grooming or painting the horses.
Please contact us to plan this celebration for your young ones or young at heart.
Plan a unique learning experience catered to your organization. Whether it be a workshop to earn a Boy or Girl Scouts badge, 4-H Club training and guidance, or a Summer Camp for your animal loving group.

At Bridlewood Crossings, we place the horse at the heart of family life — helping people experience the joy, purpose, and lasting value horses bring to a well-lived life.
A Lifelong Dream Turned Purpose
Stephanie Wilson has dreamed of horses for as long as she can remember.
What began as a childhood hope has grown into a lifelong passion — and now, a calling to inspire the next generation of equestrians.
Bridlewood Crossings was born from that hope — a sacred space where riders of all ages can discover the courage, clarity, and freedom that only horses can awaken.
Here, the dream lives on — not just in the saddle, but in the hearts of those who are transformed by the journey.
MORE THAN A LESSON – A Lifelong Journey
At Bridlewood Crossings, we believe that shared values are the foundation of meaningful relationships — and we are guided by thankfulness, transformation, perseverance, victory, wisdom, community, excellence, and tranquility in all we do.
Stephanie Wilson is a lifelong equestrian and passionate educator with decades of experience in both the horse industry and higher education. She grew up managing her family’s performance horse operation, helping youth riders achieve state and national honors.

She is also Assistant Lecturer and Online Program Coordinator Emerita from Ball State University's Center for Information and Communication Sciences, bringing over 20 years of experience in coaching, teaching, and leadership development.
