well-rounded riders by emphasizing safety in all of our instruction. At
Capricorn, there is no limit to how much you can learn. Our full-service

reach your horseback riding goals. For your convenience, we provide the
necessary riding equipment including saddles, blankets, bridles, riding
helmets, and grooming tools. Our year-round equine programs include day
and evening classes for children and adults, day camps, clinics,
parties, and more.
Facilities
Capricorn
Equestrian Center features a 36,000 sq. ft barn with a
20,000 sq. ft indoor arena for year-round riding. In addition, our
facility includes two lighted outdoor arenas and a round pen. We
are located on 80 acres in Sachse near the Garland/Sachse border. Our
convenient location allows us to serve the Dallas, Richardson, Plano,
Wylie, Sachse, Garland, Rockwall, and Rowlett areas as well as areas in
far north Collin County. We are easily accessed from the President
George Bush Turnpike (190) and Highway 78. (See map
for directions.)
Horses
Capricorn
has a horse for everyone―whether you're a beginner or a seasoned rider.
Our horses are carefully evaluated based on temperament before being
accepted into the school and are uniquely trained to provide students
with maximum learning benefits in a safe manner. School horses range in
age from 5 to 30 and are primarily quarter horses.
Staff
Capricorn's
staff consists of longtime students who transitioned to
instructors. This brings a unique element to their teaching because
they've been through the same process as their students. Our
instructors continue to expand on their knowledge and many now ride,
train, and show their own horses.
Equipment
Capricorn provides English and western
tack for students to use during lessons including saddles, saddle pads,
bridles, and grooming tools. Riding helmets are mandatory for students
under the age of 18 so helmets are furnished. (Adult students who choose
not to wear a helmet do so at their own risk.) It is requested that
students wear long pants and hard soled shoes or boots for riding. For
safety reasons, sandals or other open toed footwear is not be permitted
in the barn area.
