Group and Private Lessons

We are an English facility with a focus on safety. We have a variety of students from beginner all the way through to competitive jumping and dressage. 

Our lessons are based on a one hour supervised time period. They include the care, grooming and tacking up of the horse. All students begin with private lessons, to be evaluated and also to know where things are and what is expected.

Once the students know our system and we feel they are safe handling the horses, we expect that they will come and get their horse ready (with continued supervision as needed). Then the lesson will be approximately an hour, followed by students caring for their horse, (grooming, putting tack away, cleaning tack, cleaning the horse’s pen, or such.) This usually means the students are eventually here for about two hours.

You may opt for a single EVALUATION lesson or we have an INTRODUCTORY PACKAGE for 3 private lessons. All are welcome to continue in private lessons or join an appropriate group.

The GROUP lessons are for an hour, in a group of no more than 5 riders of similar age and experience. Those committed to a year round program ride in the group lessons for a discounted rate which provides 4 lessons per month on an appointed day.

For the younger kids (approx. 6/7 but some are older) we have the SHORT BOOTS program. This is a once a month lesson which is has proved very popular with both children and parents. There is less burnout and when the children are mature enough they graduate to the normal weekly group lesson program.

Also available:

  • Semi-private – a group of two that the students arrange.
  • Lunge – a 30 minute private lesson on the lunge line to improve rider position and confidence.
  • Horse Management – a one hour class once a month on a horse care topic.
