Horseback Riding Lessons

Horseback riding lessons are offered to all ages and abilities. You may ride just for fun and exercise, or to improve your skills and compete.

Riding lessons last one hour, and include learning to groom and saddle the horse, and care for the horse after the ride. Riding time is about 30 minutes. As the rider advances, the ride is more intensive.

Lessons are English riding. I prefer to teach English because it is very easy to switch from English to Western, but very difficult the other way around. Once you learn English riding, you can go on a Western trail ride any time with no trouble. In the beginning stages, English riding is more challenging and offers more skills to learn and keep the student interested.

All riders begin with private lessons. It usually takes about 10 private lessons to be ready to ride in a group, except for very young riders who may need to stay in privates longer. Some students will not need 10 lessons to be ready for the group.

Students will have the opportunity to compete at local horse shows on my lesson horses if they so desire. Competition is handled in a very positive way, and is a great way to learn to work hard, perform in front of a crowd, handle nervousness, set goals and persevere through disappointments.

Horse riding camps are also offered. Camps include 2 riding lessons per day, plus other activities including extra time working with the horses; crafts; and other fun stuff.

When the time comes, I am equipped to help you find the horse that will suit your personal needs, whether you ride for pleasure and exercise, or you'd like to try your hand at showing at the highest level. We show at local, regional, and national shows. I love to help kids of all ages pursue their dreams!
