Hózhó Horsemanship
Ages 6+ • 2 Hour Lesson: For the more advanced rider • Members Only!
Hózhó Horsemanship is a Houston, Texas-based horsemanship and equine photography provider that centers instruction and experiences on the Navajo concept of Hózhó—balance, harmony, and respectful partnership with horses.
The business offers a range of nine hands-on experiences designed to meet different interests and skill levels: Pony Club Gold (structured weekly lessons focused on groundwork, riding, and equine care), Ranch Obstacle Experience (ranch-inspired obstacles blended with Hózhó principles), Photo Shoot – Mobile Experience (on-location equine portraits and edited images from ground-based sessions), Private Riding Lesson – Beginner (feeding, grooming, saddling, and foundational riding), Private Group Lesson (personalized sessions for families and friends), Horsemanship Lesson (groundwork, energy awareness, and partnership), Full Ranch Ride (practical ranch work combined with mindful riding), Pasture Game Ride (playful trust-building in open pastures), and Family Ride (multi-age outings paced for connection and comfort).
Programs include both structured class settings and individualized instruction. Emphasis across offerings is on horsemanship fundamentals—grooming, safe handling, clear communication, and progressive skill-building—while also providing creative options like mobile photoshoots that document the horse–human bond. Several programs explicitly welcome beginners and families, and Pony Club Gold is presented as a supportive weekly class for committed students. Hózhó Horsemanship’s combined focus on practical skills, horse care, and the Hózhó philosophy aims to deliver thoughtful learning experiences for riders and non-riders alike.
