Lessons
Beginning
lessons are designed for the horse lover who wants to
learn the basics. Lessons begin with leading, grooming
and “tacking up” (saddling & bridling). Riders
learn to walk jog/trot and lope/canter, and negotiate
ground poles. We also take short trail rides.
Our lessons are very helpful for the first time horse
owner.
Intermediate
and Advanced
riders develop the skills to do lateral movements, backing,
turn on the haunches, turn on the forehand, lead changes,
and other basics of body control. English riders work
over raised trot poles and jumps if desired. Western riders
work on turn arounds and collected sliding stops, and
begin reining patterns if desired. All riders have the
opportunity to practice simple trail obstacles, such as
opening and closing gates from horseback, crossing bridges,
and dragging small logs. We also do more advanced
trail rides.
Dressage
lessons are taught from Intro to Second Level. Our lessons
emphasize harmony between horse and rider in correct and
classical style.
Lessons are $40.00 per hour using
one of our horses or yours. Helmets must be worn
by all students 18 years or younger. We have helmets
for those who need them.
