Meet Our Horses
It takes a very special horse to be selected to participate in our lessons. Each of our horses has gone through specialized training to prepare them for lessons, yet they also each have their own personality and style that makes them unique and special to our students.
Meet our Grass Valley lesson horses:

Sponsor a Horse
Over the course of a year, the cost of feed, shavings, shoes, standard veterinary care, and other expenses for our program horses add up. Therefore, we invite you to partner with UCP Saddle Pals in the care of our amazing herd, and sponsor a UCP Saddle Pals horse!
Your support will enable UCP Saddle Pals to continue providing high quality care for our horses, while keeping the cost of lessons as low as possible for our riders.
Sponsorships are available to individuals, companies, clubs, or any other organization.
