Wichita Riding Academy, Derby

Helmed by Cheryl Manahan, an alumna of William Woods University’s equestrian-science program, Wichita Riding Academy and its instructors help students learn the mighty hooved ways of the academy's champion-quality horses. Riders of all experience levels can pick their lesson style, such as Western, saddle seat, or hunt seat, and take their horse for a test trot as they learn how to guide, ride, and pick up FM radio signals with its ears.
