LESSONS

One on one instruction between the instructor and the student for optimal success.  Available in 30 or 45 minute sessions. 
​

Semi Private

  Lessons for two must be be prearranged, and both parties must arrive for the same time slot. Often used by families, friends, or kids of similar level.

Private Group

Groups are perfect for families wanting to learn together. Our standard group is 3 people, but exceptions are made for larger families, or home-school groups. ​

 Lesson structure
               Lessons are 30 or 45 minutes of mounting, riding (or in hand work), and dismounting. Riders are expected to arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to learn grooming, tacking (saddling), bridling, and to stay after to untack and care for the horse.  Some exceptions are accepted, and some tacking and untacking is split between riders sharing a horse.
See "enroll pw" file below for enrollment paperwork.

 Instructors
               Our instructors are nationally tested and certified through the Certified Horsemanship Association. We are also proud to provide two therapeutic instructors certified through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship. Instructors continue to take lessons and seek continuing education.
