What kind of horses do students train with?

So, no actual unicorns grazing on the Knox campus (yet!), but they do have a seriously stellar lineup of horses—think of them as the rock stars of the stable! This isn’t just a random assortment of neigh-sayers; each horse has their own quirky personality and special talents. Some are gentle souls, perfect for those first wobbly moments in the saddle, while others are more spirited, ready to challenge advanced riders to push their limits (in a fun way, of course!).

The wise folks at Knox play matchmaker, pairing students with a horse that’s just the right fit for their current riding level and future equestrian dreams. And it’s not just about the riding itself; as you spend time training and, yes, even mucking out stalls (it’s all part of the bonding!), you’ll develop a connection with these incredible animals that goes way beyond just “rider” and “horse.” It’s a true partnership built on trust, mutual respect, and maybe even a few secret horsey whispers. This special bond is what makes the Knox equestrian experience so much more than just a sport—it’s about building amazing relationships with these four-legged legends who just happen to be pretty darn good at jumping and looking majestic.
