Manilla, Ontario
It's the side you lead from, saddle from and mount from — where good handling begins. At Nearside Equestrian we board horses with steady daily care, teach riders at every level, and train horses from their first saddle onward.
Whether your horse lives here, you come to ride, or you need a horse brought along under saddle, the same people and the same routine look after it.
A place for your horse to live and be looked after properly, every single day.
For first-time riders learning to groom, tack up and find their balance, and for experienced riders refining position, aids and feel.

Schooling for horses that need consistent work, and starting young horses — from first handling and tack to their first rides.
Ask about trainingPick the line that sounds most like you. We'll show what fits and what to tell us when you get in touch.
Your horse moves into our barn and joins the daily routine. You can combine boarding with lessons for yourself or training for your horse.
Tell us: your horse's age and breed, current feeding and turnout, and when you'd like to move in.
Enquire about boardingNew riders start with the groundwork — safe handling, grooming, tacking up — before time in the saddle. Experienced riders work on the details that matter to them.
Tell us: how much you've ridden, what you'd like to work on, and which days suit you.
Enquire about lessonsYoung horses are started patiently, step by step, so their first experiences with tack and a rider are calm ones. Older horses get consistent schooling toward the goals you set.
Tell us: your horse's age, what it has done so far, and what you'd like it to be doing next.
