American Riding Academy is a Colorado-based riding program dedicated to teaching correct, compassionate horsemanship from the ground up. Whether your rider is brand new, advancing through levels, or returning to the saddle as an adult, we meet them where they are.
Bringing the Wild West back
From the moment a child sees a horse for the first time, something special happens—a spark, a connection. And that spark never really fades. Yet for many, getting involved with horses can feel out of reach. Between the high costs and the challenges of learning to care for and ride a 1,000-pound animal, it can be overwhelming.
America was built on horseback, but as a nation, we’ve drifted away from this powerful part of our heritage. Our mission is to bring it back. We’re more than just a riding academy—we’re a movement. Whether you’re learning the basics of horse care and riding or dreaming of becoming an equine professional, we’re here to guide you.
Explore different riding disciplines, compete in events, and attend hands-on clinics. From ages 1 to 100, there’s a place for everyone in our community.
