Our outstanding equine facility gets even better thanks to our wonderful riding school!
Whether you are a cautious beginner trying a new sport or a seasoned student here in the area for your college years or an adult rider who wants to get back her favorite sport while her kiddos are in school, professional instruction is offered aboard our wonderful school horses ponies, matched with care and attention to your level and abilities as a rider.
Every rider is required to wear an ASTM-certified riding helmet during lessons and anytime when mounted. We also require riding pants, or jodphurs, not jeans. Riding boots with a smooth sole, no tread or rubber, are necessary for rider safety. We recommend riding gloves for every age rider. Finally, do not wear oversized shirts. A properly fitting top tucked into your riding pants is more appropriate. If your pants have belt loops, please wear a belt.
Beginners get hands-on experience in horse care and handling as part of their lessons, building confidence and skills in a safe and fun environment. As beginner riders demonstrate growing abilities over time, new skills are introduced, such as cavalettis and small jumps, mastering proficiency in gaits and steering, and above all, enjoying a positive experience aboard our horses.
When you are ready, move into showing to experience the thrills and competition! Our Academy participants can attend small local shows with our trainers once they feel confident. Bringing home colorful ribbons and prizes!
