Passion for Riding, Passion for Children

Our Mission

Dream Acres Sport Horses offers equestrian riding programs tailored for all levels and homeschool families. We are a family focused facility, our main instructor Katie Bryant is a homeschooling mom of 6, and brings a love of horses and 20+ years of experience and combines it with her love of children and her love of teaching to create an environment where children and horses thrive.

In addition to riding lessons, we proudly run a Nature School named Wild Things, dedicated to fostering a love for the outdoors and education. We give kids a place to learn with hands on experience whether in the forest or in the saddle. Join us to grow your riding skills and appreciation for nature.

Meet the Team

Dream Acres Sport Horses is a true family operation powered by heart, hard work, and community.

Head Trainer

Katie Bryant

Katie Bryant has been immersed in horses her entire life, building a career rooted in three-day eventing and dressage. She has successfully competed through Intermediate Eventing and PSG dressage, earning multiple national-level results along the way.

Specializing in the training and development of young horses, Katie has guided both green prospects and experienced competitors to confident performances, including several appearances at national championships. Her program is known for producing capable, well-prepared horses with strong foundations for long-term success.

While competition results are important, Katie’s greatest passion lies in the “light bulb moments” when horse and rider truly connect. Her approach blends technical expertise with patience and understanding, creating successful competitors and lasting partnerships built on trust.

Experience the Joy of Nature at Wild Things

Our forest school blends outdoor play, practical life skills, and experiential education in a farm and woodland setting. Children spend their days exploring the forest, building shelters, gardening, observing wildlife, caring for animals, and engaging in creative and cooperative play. Learning happens organically through movement, problem-solving, storytelling, experimentation, and connection—with the land, with animals, and with one another.

Being located at Dream Acres Sport Horses allows children to witness real-world horsemanship, farming, and stewardship in action, fostering responsibility, observation skills, and a deep appreciation for animals and purposeful work.

Wild Things Forest School is designed to support homeschool families, alternative learners, and families seeking something slower, richer, and more connected than traditional classroom settings. Our goal is not to rush development, but to protect childhood—giving children the time, space, and trust they need to become capable, grounded, and joyful learners.

Wild Things Forest School is more than an outdoor program—it is a place where children belong, explore freely, and discover who they are meant to be, guided by nature every step of the way.
