Sagehill Stables is a Winnipeg-based equestrian facility focused on introducing riders and families to horses through structured lessons and community programs. Located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sagehill Stables offers a range of experiences from no‑riding horsemanship lessons to full introductory riding courses designed for beginners and families. Programs include a four‑lesson no‑riding course that teaches grooming and groundwork, a Parent & Me riding series for children aged 4–8 and their guardians, and a 10‑week Introductory Riding Program for participants aged 8 and up.
Drop‑in lessons are available in private, semi‑private, or group formats, and participants can ride in an outdoor arena, try new trail options, or work in a cozy indoor setting depending on the session. Sagehill also hosts specialty offerings such as polocrosse practice sessions led by experienced players, a short therapeutic connection program titled “Healing Beyond Words,” and birthday experiences including lead‑line rides and visits with Zip, the miniature horse.
Instruction blends hands‑on practice with guided coaching and is tailored to the stated age ranges and skill levels.
