We have several wonderful lessons horses and lesson equipment available.
Students are required to wear pants or leggings with a boot or a shoe that has a small heel. We also request that students bring their own helmet. If you do not have a riding helmet, a bike helmet will work in the beginning.
Lessons are offered all week and year round (weather permitting).
We do require at least a 24-hr notice of cancellation, otherwise you will still be responsible for payment if a lesson is missed.
We offer a few different lesson categories in order to help students meet their goals.
Lesson Tiers
Lessons are offered at different legels based on the students skills and goals.
Beginners:
Beginning lessons teach the student how to behave around and work with the horses from the ground in a safe way. The student will also learn basic care and feeding. The student will also develop the basic skills of grooming and tacking up their assigned horse as well as basic ridding skills.
These lessons are $40.00 each and last approximately 1 hour.

Intermediate lessons build on the skills acquired in the beginner lessons. The student will continue to learn more advanced ground work and stable management as well as build on their ridding skills, to include jumping or working barrel patterns.
These lessons are $55.00 each and last approximately 1 hour.
Advanced:
The Advanced students are required to have their horses out, groomed, tacked and ready at the start of their lesson time. They will continue to build their skill and knowledge with advanced ground work and care as well as ridding. We teach the students not only how to ride but how to train. Students must be ridding well at this level before they will be able to join the Show Team.

Students who ride proficiently at the Advanced level and have an interest in showing are invited to the Show Team. In order to be part of the Show Team the student also has to show that they are committed to the time and investment both physically and emotionally.
