Lesson Rates

Therapeutic Riding lessons, EAL (Equine Assisted Learning), and Critter Connections are currently available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at Honey Bridge Ranch in St. Charles. Please note that we are located on private property and visits are by appointment only.  Honey Bridge Ranch is located at 6N917 Rt. 25, St. Charles, IL 60174.

Students ages three and up are welcomed.

We are excited to announce that after years of dreaming and fundraising, in August of 2022 our hydraulic lift and ramp were installed in our indoor arena. This allows individuals with limited mobility a safe and trusted way to be lifted on and off their horses. Please phone us to discuss your individual needs and we will plan a personal horse experience for you.

It is highly encouraged to schedule enough time for groom and tack (more than 30 min).   When participants are independent enough to groom and tack with volunteer supervision, we do not charge for this experience.
