Lessons are available at beginner and novice levels for ages 5 and up. The size of the lesson program is limited purposely to ensure quality.  Students are started with the basics of horse care and progress up through the fundamentals of riding to jumping and equitation.  Horsemanship and safety are emphasized in every lesson.  Our goal is to teach kids to become well rounded equestrians in whatever discipline they choose to ride.

All students are required to ride in an approved ASTM helmet (available from farm) and riding boots with a heel.  If you plan to continue lessons, we do recommend that you purchase your own helmet.

Lessons are 45 minutes in a one-on-one or two rider format to allow for maximum attention to each student.  Lessons may run over/under as the students progress.  We focus on accomplishing correct riding and if we are in the middle of an exercise at the close of the lesson, we ensure both horse and rider are understanding the objective.  Beginner students are also encouraged to help get the horses ready for the lessons. 

Older/experienced students are responsible for tacking-up, un-tacking, cooling down & cleaning up after their horse before and after their lesson.  They should plan on arriving ~30 minutes before the scheduled lesson time and plan to spend ~30 minutes at the barn after their lesson is completed.

Beginners can start on our lesson horses.  They are all safe, quality show mounts who actively teach our beginners and then head into the show ring with the more advanced students.

Lessons are currently $25/each.  Multiple lesson discounts may apply.

Pee Wee Lessons are available for $15 for 30 minutes.  We have a wonderful pony ~ Branco ~ who loves the little ones.   Grooming and tack is still taught along with the proper basics of riding.

We currently have lesson openings on the weekends and on week nights.  We also offer week long day camps for our students during the summer.
