Dahl provides Basic Horsemanship classes including all levels of Riding Lessons and Workshops. Foal Handling, Trail Safety Preparation, Bomb Proofing and many other activities are also on the roster of future events.  Seventeen horses from stud stallions, breeding mares, foals and horses that can be used for riding lessons can be found on the 10 acre ranch. 
Dahl also breeds horses that can bee seen at the ranch.  For information on horse breeding http://www.solidsunset.com
