English Lessons
We offer a complete lesson program and tailor it to individual needs: from beginners who have never ridden a horse to experienced riders that would like professional guidance and critique to meet the next set of goals. If needed, we can provide all necessary equipment and we have a number of seasoned lesson horses available for use. Before entering any of our programs, we conduct an evaluation of the rider’s ability, knowledge base, and identify goals so we can customize a program to advance the riders skills and meet goals.
Our goal is to provide education in all aspects of horsemanship with a focus on traditional methods of communication between horse and rider to meet challenges. We believe in functional riding, therefore, our students do a lot of riding. Most of the theory we discuss during lessons, is discussed horseback. Therefore, the rider is able to use all senses to put the theory into practice.
