Lessons

We offer horseback riding lessons at the rate of $35.00 per lesson. Our students range from absolute beginners to more experienced equestrians. Students may take lessons at the age of 5.

Tacking Up

Tacking up is the first thing we teach our students. They will learn how to groom, saddle, and bridle their horse before riding. During this process the students also learn the parts of the horse, saddle, and bridle.

The Basics

After learning how to tack up, the student will learn the basics of riding. The basics include learning how to steer, stop, and go. We will also focus on balance and form. All exercises will be done at a walk until the instructor feels the student is ready to move on to a faster pace.
