Lessons
Lessons are offered for beginners to advanced riders. You do not need to own a horse to learn to ride.
Starter packages - $270.00 - first time students only- This six-week learning program are private lessons. The first lesson consists of teaching Horsemanship -Horsemanship begins in the barn before and after the lesson. Each student is responsible for getting his or her own horse ready the lesson. The student learns how to go get their assigned horse from the field, groom and tack their own horse. They must be available to arrive approx. 45 minutes to 30 minutes before each lesson and plan on staying for 30 minutes afterwards to un-tack, groom again, clean the tack and put away and take care of the horse by either turning back out or putting it back in their stall.
PLEASE NOTE - IF THE STUDENTS ARE TOO YOUNG TO HANDLE THIS STEP BY THEMSELF THE PARENT MUST BE AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM COMPLETE THIS STEP.
After the six-week are over students may continue on with the riding program. At this time, I will get with the Parents and discuss wither they can go into a semi group or group and/or if they need to stay with some more private lessons.
