The Lazy Horse Equine Center, Poulsbo

At The Lazy Horse Equine Center, steeds trot around the sandy footing of an indoor arena, a 60-foot round pen, and a sprawling outdoor space with plenty of grass for riding. During private and group lessons, instructors tailor the curriculum to individuals' experience levels, zeroing in on the basics of Western or English riding styles or expounding on advanced skills such as barrel racing or jumping. The center's staff also pioneers expeditions on nearby trails and boards horses in stalls spacious enough to accommodate their antique armoires filled with oats.
