The overview

The Leander business offers weekly horseback riding lessons, horsemanship classes focused on communicating with and leading horses, and trail rides for individuals or groups of up to three people.

About the owner


Owner Jenna Couchman started Little Forest Equestrian after working as a ranch hand in the Leander area for about eight years. Couchman told Community Impact she wanted to start her own business to make horseback riding more accessible to people of any age and stage of life.

She said she hopes to eventually acquire a larger property in the Liberty Hill or Bertram area to board horses and provide more equine training.
