Report
For the first time since 2015, we raised our tuition by $5 per class to reflect our increasing costs. This change began with the Winter 2020 term. Giant Steps incurs all of the typical increases in operational expenses that other businesses encounter. In addition, feed, veterinary, and farrier services for our horses over the past several years have increased and the cost of boarding each of our horses rises each year.

Our Facility
Report
Giant Steps is located at Sonoma Horse Park, in the heart of wine country. Our 16-stall barn includes large stalls with attached paddocks for our "therapists". We also have two arenas - including one that is covered for year-round use - a round pen and turn-out area. We are extremely fortunate to have much of our specialized equipment donated to us, but we always have a few gaps.
