Lesson Program For Riders Of All Ages

Our lesson program is designed for riders at all levels who may or may not own there own horse or pony. We give individual instruction with safety being the upmost importance. Our riders are taught the basics of both a correct riding seat and respect for the horse or pony, learning many ground skills that help a good rider. Our young adult and adult riders are in the program for a variety of reasons. Some want to gain additional riding or driving experience in the show horse discipline, some want to begin a love affair of riding not attained in their younger years, some have started after their children are older, and some are riding to gain personal and physical strength. There is something very rewarding after a stressful day at the office, coming to the barn and spending an hour or two communicating with your equine partner.
