Our Lesson Program
Lessons are the backbone of any program. Safety and confidence are key concepts that are taught in our program. In every lesson we work to build every riders self esteem while teaching new skills. Competitive riding is highly encouraged as it creates goals for the riders, making progressive learning easy and fun! While we have a great team of lesson horses and ponies, we are also available for haul in lessons or boarding options for students that wish to join our program with their own horse. Reach out today to check for boarding availability.
With a tuition based program, riders are able to ride in as many classes as they are qualified for each week. This allows for riders to ride in one lesson a week or multiple without adding to their monthly bill. Our goals for riders is that they become well rounded by riding different types of horses and getting as many hours in the saddle as their schedule allows. We offer both jumping and flat classes along with a weekly horsemanship class option. We also can offer unmounted teaching opportunities to students who want to explore teaching others. Privates lessons are available on a limited schedule for an additional fee.
Not only do we offer lessons to students with prior experience, we also teach students above the age of 5 with little or no experience. Students with little to no experience are taught in private lessons until they are able to join in on the Beginner Group lessons. Beginner Privates also are required to attend the Beginner Horsemanship class until graduating to Group Classes.
Due to our show schedule, we will not schedule permanent lessons on Saturday as local shows, our Mock Shows, and clinics are often scheduled on Saturdays. November- March, the schedule will change slightly to allow for more daylight riding and less riding in the dark.
The month of August is an annual barn-wide break for all the horses, lesson and competition horses alike. This allows for not only the horses to have a well deserved break in the hottest month of the year but also gives students a needed break as they head back to school.
In times of extreme heat or cold (above 95 degrees or below 20 degrees) or in times of conflicted weather, horsemanship lessons may be offered instead of mounted lessons.
