Riding Lessons
We provide a safe, peaceful place for you to learn how to ride and improve your horsemanship. Lessons are available for all ages and are $35 an hour.
We teach...
- Safety first (helmets are provided and appropriate footwear is required)
- Leading
- Ground work including The Connecting Games
- Proper way to saddle a horse
- Mounting
- Balance excercises
- Gaits (footfalls of the horse)
- Emergency stop
- Walk/trot/canter
- Lateral work
- A simulator is also available
Lesson horses are available and new students will begin riding and learning the seven games during their first lesson. Please wear proper footwear (boots with a small heel) for lessons. We strive to always remember the dignity of the horse and to enhance the dignity and respect of the rider as well. Learn to focus on the horse, his nature, temperament, and what is going on with him as we ask him to become a willing partner for an able and growing leader.
