Beverly M. – Horse Back Riding

The instructor from the hang gliding school my girls & husband had for this amazing experience!  He worked very well with my 9 yr old, 11 yr old and 36 yr old hubby.  I can’t say enough good stuff about him as an instructor.  He’s just one of those genuinely nice people that love what they do and want others to have a great experience trying it and/or taking it up as a hobby/sport.  We went to his Corvallis, OR location but I think he also has a location down at the Coast & possibly other sites.

He also does a horse riding tour/camp that my kids & husband got to try b/c they arrived so early for their hang gliding lesson.  This is not your ordinary horse lesson!  You actually go get the horse you want to ride from the praire, talk him into letting you ride him (w/treats & such), clean him and ride him to a blackberry patch to pick, down hills & threw a sheep field!  Just an amazing experience for my kids.

I highly recommend this experience (good for all ages)!!

Shah Kazempour – Hang Gliding

Flying is a challenge – a huge challenge – but if you get the best instructor beside you helping you to learn it; the glider becomes an extension of your body " just like a bird ". You will not only learn the basics but you will refine those skills. As a new student spending a two week intensive with the instructors, I would definitely recommend Kiwanda Kites and Oregon hang gliding school to any one who wants to learn this sport and get the sheer joy of life in freedom. They have the best program, not just for hang gliding but in life.

Also if you happen to like some thing other than hang gliding and more in sense of having a connection with a beauty of horse back riding; Kiwanda Kites can help you on that too. They have the best horse back riding instructors too.
