lessons

We strive to build strong partnerships between the horse and rider.

We provide riding lessons in Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation for all ages, abilities, and experience. We offer group and private lessons. Our program is special in that we have many years of collective knowledge on our team. Our trainers specialize in different areas that give our students a well rounded knowledge of horsemanship, riding, and horse communication.

Beginner Program

We start with the most important part of the horse world - developing a connection between the horse and rider. Riders in our beginner program have a choice to begin with either small group or private lessons.  Our beginner lessons start with learning to work with and understand horses. We teach horse safety, grooming, all about tack and the tools we use to ride, groundwork and communication. As students develop proficiency in these areas we put more emphasis on riding skills.  Our goals during these beginning stages are to build strength, balance, and to help riders create a partnership with the horse they ride. 

Intermediate Program

Our intermediate program is focused on building riders’ on-horse skills. Students begin jumping more and learning more advanced riding techniques. They also begin to learn more advanced horsecare. At this level we recommend that students ride at least twice a week. This allows them to build more strength and retain knowledge and muscle memory more efficiently, which they need for advanced riding techniques.  

Show Program

All students who ride with us can participate in horse shows, but those who would like to make horse shows a consistent part of their learning experience are in our show program. These students usually ride at least three times a week and we encourage them to lease or buy a horse. This provides them with the opportunity to focus on building their riding skills both in and outside of the show ring. Moreover it provides our riders with the opportunity to build a strong partnership with their horse so they can dive into unknown adventures with a clear connection and  strong communication.
