Welcome to Oregon Horsemanship
“Happiness is going to Oregon Horsemanship! Lots of loved horses! Letitia is so great with teaching the kids to ride.” Lucinda J.
“This is a fabulous program if you are looking for a safe, knowledgeable and fun experience for your kiddo.” Jenny F.
“This experience has been life changing and we really appreciate what you all do for the horses, kids, and community.” Rachel G.
Founded on the belief that every horse deserves a forever home where they are loved and appreciated, Oregon Horsemanship has grown into a full horsemanship program and sanctuary to help support the horses in our care. When people ask where we get our horses, we like to say, “They find us.”
Our horses come from a variety of backgrounds—sometimes carrying both physical and emotional scars—but here, they find understanding, compassion, and a community that embraces them. At our barn, patience, love, and kindness are offered in abundance to both horses and people.
From the very beginning, we discovered something special: when we foster the bond between horses and people—especially children and their families—others begin to share in our passion. Our program blends riding lessons with groundwork, relationship-building, confidence development, life skills, partnership, community, horse care, and so much more.
Not every horse we welcome can take on a “job,” but each one receives the highest level of care for the rest of their lives. Our facility is a soft place to land, filled with the smell of hay, the crunch of carrots, warm hugs, and the love of many.
We are located in Oregon City, Oregon just 10 minutes from I-205, 4 miles from Clackamas Community College just off Highway 213. Easily accessible to the Portland metro area, including Happy Valley, Portland, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, Canby, Molalla, Oregon City, Milwaukie, and Clackamas.
