Our lesson program is based on classical riding principles and developing a well-rounded equestrian with a strong foundation. Besides riding, our students also learn the fundamentals of horse care, horsemanship, groundwork, etc. We offer group lessons for students 5+ years old. Group lessons have up to 5 students in each class and are an hour long. Aside from the riding portion students have time to get their horses groomed, tacked up, etc. Group lessons are a fun atmosphere for learning from each other, working on similar goals, learning to handle horses around others, bond together, etc. Private lessons are 45 minutes to an hour long and include grooming, tacking up, and riding- unless the student is fully independent and is tacked up and ready to go by their lesson time. These lessons are great for students needing more focused or specialized attention, students with their own horse, or for more advanced students with very specific goals. And semi-private lessons are available for 2 students at a time. This is a good option for a couple, parent and child, siblings, or friends to ride together.
