Our lesson program is designed to
be a comprehensive educational program open to beginner
through advanced riders. We have developed numerous age appropriate
introductory programs, an ongoing skill based four level lesson
continuum certificate program, and advanced equestrian opportunities. An equestrian is
skilled when she/he understands a wide range of aspects beyond just
riding. Lifelong skills can be obtained such as assertiveness,
determination, responsibility, a strong work ethic, leadership,
respect, achievement, and self esteem, just to name a few. Our goal
is to develop well-rounded and well-educated equestrians who can not
only ride well, but have horse management knowledge and skill and
understanding of horses. A leveled certificate program is
offered to assure that knowledge and skills are mastered.
Lesson Program
Fun With Ponies Program (ages 4-5)
Registration Form – 2016-2017 School Year Private Lessons
Registration Form – Summer 2017 Private Lessons
The Fun with Ponies Program is for
children ages 4-5. We believe in starting young children only in a
private lesson setting. During a one hour session children help lead,
groom, tack their pony and ride with the instructor at their side.
Basic riding skills including introducing the correct position for the rider, walking, steering, stopping,
mounting and dismounting are taught. Each week a different activity
is sent home to reinforce skills. Call
to set up this private
lesson.
For The Love
Of Horses (ages 6-9)
Introductory
Program
Registration Form – Spring 2017 For The Love of Horses Sessions
“For the Love of Horses” is an introductory program for 6-9 year olds offering children basic instruction in horse terminology, care, safety, grooming, tacking-up and on the ground handling of horses, and you don’t have to own a horse! This gives children a comfort level and a foundation in understanding the safety requirements necessary around horses.
The earlier portion of the sessions will be indoors in our barn. The other portion will be in the lower arena to “ride” a horse. Students will learn the basic seat and leg positions and how to hold the reins. They will learn how to shorten the reins to turn and stop the horse to know that they have proper control before taking regular riding lessons. At each session please have students equipped with appropriate outdoor clothing(long pants for riding days), riding boots if possible, and something to drink. Helmets will be provided for this introductory program.
