It all started with a mission
When the Lexington YMCA—originally a beautiful gift to the community—became a tragic casualty of profit-hungry development, the dedicated equestrian program needed a new home to nurture their love of horses and riding…
Tranquility Equestrian sits on 13 peaceful acres designed to be relaxed and family-friendly. We are a welcoming horse farm where riders learn, grow, and feel at home. Our foci are safety, education, and enjoyment—for all living creatures.
We offer a schooling program and horses for a wide range of riders, from those just starting out to those ready for more advanced work. We also have horses available for half-lease, for those ready to dabble in horse ownership. What sets Tranquility Equestrian apart is our emphasis on full horsemanship education. Students are taught all aspects of horse care from feeding and grooming to tacking, handling, and understanding health & behavior responsibilities. Our goal is to develop fully educated and capable individuals who truly understand horses, not just ride them.
Our horses live in small, thoughtfully managed groups, with two large pastures for small herds and three smaller pastures for chosen pairs. We have a walking path open to parents, a round pen, and a large 150x300 grass arena. Tranquility Equestrian is also home to dogs, cats, and pigs, all part of the daily life of a working horse farm.
