All ages & abilities welcome
We offer several types of lessons to suit the unique needs of each student, including both recreational and therapeutic lessons . We ride year-round, and our ring is equipped with lights for evening riding. We also have trails that can be incorporated into lessons as well.
We offer lessons for English riding, but do utilize Western tack, as well. We also believe it's important for our students to learn basic horsemanship and horse-care skills in addition to riding. We incorporate horsemanship into all of our lessons.
