Equestrian Center & Healing Spaces
Where horses teach us more than riding- they teach us about ourselves.
From first-time riders to experienced equestrians, from curious children to healing hearts-discover your path at our Ohio farm where empowerment meets horsemanship.
About Riding on Grace
Riding on Grace is an equestrian center built on the foundation of horsemanship and empowerment.
Horses hold a special bond with humans and can teach us more than just riding skills. At Riding on Grace, we take that mission seriously and want to open the eyes and hearts of everyone to the power these animals have to help us physically and emotionally.
The skills we develop here-balance, trust, communication, resilience-are skills we carry with us through life. Every rider who starts here can excel at any level they ever want to reach.

Let's talk about your goalsMeet Sarah Jean
"I believe horses have an incredible ability to help us heal, grow, and discover who we truly are."
I've been giving riding lessons for over 20 years, and I'm certified in both able-bodied and adaptive riding-though I focus more on the emotional side than physical disability. After a life-altering event, I began my own personal journey to connecting horses to human emotional processing.
I started Riding on Grace 5 years ago as a safe space for young adults to go so they could be themselves and learn more about themselves through riding horses. Now I offer other experiences that don't involve physical riding at all.
I'm also a women's empowerment coach, specializing in trauma recovery and reconnection with themselves. I have a communications degree from Ohio State and grew up just 15 miles away from where the barn is now. It has come full circle.
I have ridden horses my whole life and had adolescent trauma myself, so I worked backwards into my findings about how horses and humans connect in a healing way. After a long and trying divorce, I moved to this property now known as Riding on Grace.
I recently got married again to the person I waited my whole life to find, and we are committed to growing this farm for all to find peace.
"Any student that starts here can excel at any riding level they ever want to go to. We take families from 'I have this girl who wants to know everything about horses and I know nothing' to feeling supported in this journey."
