All styles of riding are started from the same standard, our basics in equitation. Beginning with balance, through exercise understanding of the physical working of the horse and how your body effects the movement and balance of the performance. We like for our students to have a good working knowledge of how the seat, weight, leg, hand, and artificial aids work. And also how the horse interprets what we want him to do. And if he is not doing what we think he should, then we focus on how we are communicating to him and how we change what we are doing to get the result we would like in the least resistance way. Once the basics are achieved any riding style you wish to choose will be greatly enhanced. We will help in what ever direction you choose from the trail to the show ring.

Trail Lessons & Rides

Arena & Trail Lesson 45/45 Combo: $150

No experience to beginner

This is a great way for beginners, first time riders, and riders who have not ridden in years to get some lesson instruction and familiarity with riding. Lessons are geared towards safe riding on the trail. The min age for this is 8 years old. This is a great time for children as well as adults. This trail lesson starts in the arena and then goes through the woods. Weight limit 220 lbs. Everyone must sign a waiver.

Trail Lesson Only: $150

Intermediate and up

This is a great ride for those that are comfortable around a horse, have ridden before and have had prior arena lessons. The min age for this ride is 12 years old. This is an extension of our trail lessons done more on the trial and less in the arena. When all riders are mounted we head out for the trail. You will be given brief instruction and reminders while on the trail. This trail goes through the woods, meadows, grasslands, wetlands overlook and urban views.
