The support Equestrian Chaos has shown this program for over a decade is unfathomable. They have raised thousands of dollars for us over the years. Now that our program is going through unexpected but wonderful changes we have needed their help more than ever. Since the pandemic our programs perseverance was tested. It was very scary and we were unsure if we were going to be able to reopen. Like all riding centers, we were unable to turn the lights off and wait until the world opened back up because the horses had to keep eating. Equestrian Chaos came to our rescue as soon as they could and brought national awareness to the magic that happens behind our fences. We are grateful for the selfless actions these individuals have put forth keeping our vision alive.
Our plan is to reopen early 2024 at our new location. We have established pastures, made trails, and are now preparing to build our arena so we can begin hosting participants again. We still need a few horse shelters, hay barn, wash rack, and tack room but Rome wasn't built in a day and we understand the challenges that lay ahead. We look forward to sharing the details with you as this new journey unfolds. After all, the journey is just as important if not more memorable than the destination.

Happy Monday!
We know many people are trying to get in touch with us and we apologize for the difficulty. We have been searching for a forever home for our program and we are happy to announce that we found one. We had less than 3 months to move a house, barn and a business so we have been hustling like never before. 💪
We are 24 miles away from Sollie Road so we consider ourselves blessed to stay in the area we have grown to love so much. We will be temporarily closed until late fall because we have to get the grounds prepared to reopen our lesson program but we plan to reopen for services as soon as possible. We can't wait to have an open house to show off our new slice of heaven on earth. Until then, please enjoy the photo of our horses in their clover field feasting away in their new pastures.
Equestrian Chaos is going back on the road this summer to raise funds for our program so please follow their journey and support their cause because they support us! Last year they raised 10k for our program. Safe travels EC and we look forward to seeing our village in the fall.
Happy trails!!!

We want to take a moment to thank Equestrian Chaos for traveling across the United States to raise awareness of our organization and the benefits of therapeutic riding. It's tradition that performers pass a tip hat and are given a small gratuity from their fans to show support. Equestrian Chaos donated their tip hat from every festival they performed at in 2022 to our organization, raising around $10,000.00 for us this past summer!! Today we want to say thank you to the patrons of the 2022 West Virginia Renaissance Festival for donating $1,453.00 to our cause.

Hay Horse Force!!
CSEA is happy to announce an archery camp happening here during the Christmas break!
Taught by our skilled instructors and riders of Equestrian Chaos, this camp will challenge participants with learning the skill of Asiatic style archery. This is not a mounted camp and does not involve horses!! So no horse experience required! But if you would like to try a mounted archery camp in the future, this is a great first step🏹
Please text 251-289-1244 or email [email protected] if interested.
