Lessons are taught in an English saddle, but the basic skills translate from English to Western. Good horsemanship is the cornerstone of our program, but we teach from an eventing/dressage perspective.
Our mission is to build horsewomen and men, one lesson at a time. Each riding lesson is customized to your kid’s goals, comfort level, and experience. Every rider will learn how to lead and handle a horse safely, pick hooves, brush, saddle and unsaddle their horse. They will learn anatomy and horse behavior related to their riding lessons – keep your ears pricked and you will learn something you didn’t know as well! 😉
In the saddle, kids will learn independence and confidence by progressively building upon each exercise that they’ve been working on. From touching a horse’s coat for the first time ever to jumping their first jump or trotting down their first centerline in the show ring – we’re ready to show your kid that they’re capable of accomplishing amazing tasks!
Regardless of their experience or aspirations with the horse, safe habits and good stewardship of the animal is instilled into each and every rider.
