Storm Academy Session Registration Now Open Fall 2026
Fall 2026 Session Starts Sept 7th 2026 - Registration open & Ongoing
Please contact Becky to Book a Private or semi-private lesson, Group, drop-in, or Anytime Event
All lessons are either coached or instructed by one of our fully Certified & Humblehorse Qualified, Staff members.
Advanced classes & privates, up-and-coming Competitive Storm Teams & Events are coached by Becky , our master Coach, Owner and Program Developer of the Storm Academy.
Our Storm Academy classes are taught by one of our wonderful and fully certified instructors, who works directly with and under the guidance of Becky to teach the majority of classes. All of our instructors are constantly in training and working towards higher levels of coaching. as mentioned Becky is always overseeing all classes and in constant review of student, horse, and instructor improvement areas after each class.
Becky has over 35 years’ experience riding and over 25 years of teaching experience in Canada and across seas :)
She graduated Olds College in 2003 with my Equine Canada Western Coaching & started The Humblehorse Ranch right after, as well as travelled the world working with different horse operations and shows in between… yes, some would say she was a bit of a wild child!
Storm Academy and rider-level curriculum is taught September - June.
In general, we run our sessions 4 weeks at a time with the automatic option to carry on into the next session afterwards.
(We find 4-week sessions make payment instalments more manageable for most clients)
Clients can ride 1x / week or 2x / week in the Storm Academy :) It all depends on your goals, schedule.
While you are riding in the Storm Academy, you are always working on your Storm Rider levels 1-4, which are based on the AEF and Equine Canada Western Rider curriculum,( Please inquire with us further for more details)
Lesson season is where we cover a lot of technical, aids, performance ect ect then spring and summer and sometimes fall we do rider testing and then outdoor track and trail conditioning. We are blessed to have over 12 miles of outdoor tilled track!
So we’re always doing something different to build skills and experience.
We supply everything … horse, tack, helmets, even spare riding boots but of course you are more than welcome to bring your own helmet and boots if you have them.
Storm Academy runs Monday to Friday evenings. Seasonal classes, semi privates, privates and drop-in classes run weekday mornings and some Saturday mornings.
Our Storm Academy students also have the opportunity to eventually become part of our Volunteer staff program where you can earn credits towards extra rides and drop in classes.
This program can develop into eventual paid staff opportunities for the right candidates, as well as future instructor training. Options can be endless; we can discuss further as skill and relationship develop.
Riders who are new to the ranch or horses in general are strongly encouraged to participate in a Learn to Ride Clinic, or Storm Orientation. More details are on the website under Learn to Ride Clinics or Orientations. I can also send you the information.

The Humblehorse Ranch is a place where we hope to give riders a real sense of what it’s like to learn from the ground up! We take you into our lesson herd of horses ranging anywhere from 25-30 horses to learn their behavior, their movement, and their individual personalities. We teach you more than just how to ride; we want to teach you how to understand them so you can make safe decisions and in return, have the most enjoyable and fulfilling experiences you possibly can
And then on the riding side, we have so much to offer you already and so much more under development. Adventures, Show and competitive teams this year in the making; some of the best lesson horses and mixed breed program you might ever experience in a western program, unheard of really; a staff and client base so welcoming you feel like family the second you step foot in our bunkhouse, and an excitement that will light your soul on fire!
Let us invite you to the Humblehorse Ranch! Give it a try. Come Ride With Us.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
Registration is ongoing as space becomes available, but I, Becky, will personally always make my very best effort to accommodate you schedule and needs to the best of my ability and time :)
