The beginner lesson program specializes in creating a solid foundation for new riders starting at 8 yrs of age. This is also a good program for riders who have had bad experiences and want to restart with an improved foundation so they can safely overcome confidence issues.
All lessons are private. This program focuses on building a solid foundation that caters to each student’s specific needs and abilities.
I don’t rush the basics. Students will learn how to catch, groom, and tack up on their own. Education under saddle will have a heavy emphasis on accurate centered riding.
Investing in this type of program is invaluable for long-term success and happiness in this sport. If you are looking for your child to be jumping courses and horse showing in just a few months of riding, I won’t be a good fit for you. I can’t stress the importance of a slow, safe, and steady foundation for beginner riders enough!
The intermediate/advanced lesson program is available for riders who have the appropriate background and abilities required to proficiently ride our intermediate/advanced lesson horses. Students must have an education in one of the following disciplines: Hunters/Jumpers/Dressage/Eventing.
All lessons are private. This lesson program will always put my horse’s well-being, rider safety, and the need to have a strong flatwork foundation above anything else.
Your first lesson will be an evaluation of those skills. Jumping is only allowed as a part of your lesson program if I see that the student is ready for it.
