Bergman Riding Academy, Waukee

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Bergman Riding was developed to meet the growing need for learning through horses. Our enthusiastic, caring staff is eager to share their love of horses with the community. Each of our horses has a unique story on how they came to Bergman Riding and each of our patient, loving animals is family.

What is the experience customers can expect?
We start from the beginning. Starting from the ground up, each rider learns how to love and care for the horses they ride. Between the hay rack rides, apple trees, and beautiful outdoor riding facility-- everyone can have a chance to spend a day as an equestrian.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
People love horses. Horses love people. Our horses are our family and we were blessed with a group of truly kind, wonderful animals. Part of that blessing is being able to share that with others. Whether you spend one day or an entire lifetime as an equestrian, our goal was to provide that to all.

What do you love most about your job?
What I love the most is seeing the how the horses bring joy to so many people, kids and adults alike. It's true, that there is something peaceful about spending time in a horse barn. It's almost impossible to leave the barn unhappy; it's a blessing to share that joy with others.
