WELCOME!
Welcome to Timepiece Arabians. We have been in the business of providing quality riding lessons since 1976. Our equestrian facility is located in the Boston Harbor area of Olympia and includes a 60' x 180' covered arena, an outdoor arena, a round pen; a cross-country course and an obstacle course; a large barn with stalls and a tack room; several large pastures and multiple paddocks; and 14 lesson horses.
We give dressage, eventing and western riding lessons, with an emphasis on Natural Horsemanship. We introduce new riders to the basics and help experienced riders gain more skills. Students range in age from 8 to adult and are put into small (6 students max) group classes according to age and experience. Our horses provide pleasure and offer challenges to riders of every level.
We make horseback riding fun, informative and safe. Our students can jump a fence, ride a dressage test, throw a rope and track a cow. Here at TPA students learn how to ride, care for and safely work around horses. Many of our students have gone on to careers in the horse industry.
We sponsor clinics and encourage our instructors and students to participate in or audit clinics here at the farm, or held elsewhere in the region. We host two summer camps per year, which are for anyone wanting to improve their riding skills. Additionally, for 28 years we have had a relationship with the Pacific Rim Study groups at Saint Martin's University, giving our students an opportunity to show their horsemanship skills to the young Japanese women, and participate in a cross-cultural exchange program. Many of our students have become student-aides in the university's Pacific Rim Studies program. It is a wonderful way for them to learn another language and different teaching techniques, and to develop lifelong friendships.
If you are interested in lessons and becoming a better partner for the horse(s) in your life, please call to make arrangements to visit the farm and observe a lesson.
