Clean Sweep Farm

First lesson jitters are real. Here's what happens when you show up at Clean Sweep Farm.

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. That's the whole point of a beginner lesson. You just need to show up.

We'll introduce you to your horse before you ever get in the saddle. Getting comfortable on the ground first makes a big difference.

𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘴. Posture, how to hold the reins, how to communicate with your horse. Nobody's cantering on day one and that's completely fine.

We go at your pace. Some people are nervous. Some people are overconfident. (We love both.)

Our instructors have seen it all and know how to meet you where you are.
You will probably be sore the next day. Fair warning. It uses muscles you forgot you had.

And yes, you will want to come back.

Private beginner lessons are 45 minutes and $50. Ages 7 and up. We also have Tiny Tot lead line lessons for the 5-7 crowd.

Riding horses isn't just a hobby. It quietly changes you in ways you don't expect.

𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚:

𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵. You can't fake it on a horse. Your body figures it out quickly.

𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘳. Horses respond to where your mind is. You learn to be present in a way that's hard to explain until you've felt it.

𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦. There's something about asking a 1,200-pound animal to trust you and having it work that sticks with you off the horse too.

𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩. The barn has a way of making everything else feel smaller.

Kids and adults both feel it. We see it in our Tiny Tots on their first lead line lesson and in our Advanced Academy riders heading into the show ring.

If you've been thinking about trying it, this is your sign. 🐎

ALTERNATIVE GATE OPTION

Alliant is opening the Olin Gate for us, which is a great alternative to using the Main Gate and the Rusk Gate. Especially for the semi's and truck/trailers better than fighting the crowds at the other gates. Those staying at the Holiday Inn Express it's a one turn option. There are stop/go lights at Rusk/John Nolan and John Nolan/E Olin Ave. Both left turns.

It's that time again!

Big congratulations to Clean Sweep Farm’s own Lora Walsh and “Ripper” for bringing home the Open English Pleasure Championship at Mid America’s Spring Fling!

We’re so proud of this incredible horse and his well-deserved win—way to represent!

Let’s hear it for Lora, Ripper, and trainer Ryan!
