About the Equine Education Series

The Equine Education Series (EES) is your trusted resource for free, engaging, and community-centered horse-related education in the Roaring Fork Valley. Founded with a passion for horses and a belief in the power of knowledge, EES connects equestrians through workshops, talks, and events designed to inform, inspire, and unite—without ever asking for donations or raising funds.

Whether you're an experienced horse owner or simply horse-curious, our mission is to make quality equine education accessible to all.

We Value

01

Accessibility for All

We believe that education should be free and available to everyone in the equine community—no fees, no fundraising, just learning.

02

Community Connection

Our events are designed to bring local horse lovers together in a collaborative, welcoming environment where knowledge and experiences are shared.

03

Education Over Promotion

EES is not a platform for sales or sponsorships. Our focus is solely on delivering high-quality, practical information that serves our audience.

04

Growth Through Learning

We support lifelong learning, encouraging curiosity and providing tools that help equestrians grow in confidence, care, and understanding.
