LESSONS
We offer lessons for children and adults; for beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders, teaching a "Balanced Seat" approach to English riding (see below for Rates ). 

In addition to the fun of being around the horses, students enjoy a thorough, safety-oriented experience through which they not only learn to ride, but also gain a broad understanding of many facets of horsemanship!

"Character Lessons"  - By request, we can also integrate a simple, Bible-based "Character Lesson" into each session.  God invented the horse, after all, and we find that many parallels can be drawn between handling horses, and wisdom for life.  For example: putting others before oneself; being willing to take responsibility for one's actions; learning patience; what it means to show respect; being a godly leader (or follower); having courage; etc. 

SHOWING
For those who plan to show, we can help you solidify your foundations and prepare you for competition, whether it be for Dressage Shows, Combined Training Events, or local Hunter Shows.  And plan on taking your coach with you to the show, as well!  If needed, trailering to shows and use of a school horse available by special arrangement.

TRAINING
Professional Training for your horse is also available (details below).
