All ages & abilities welcome
We offer several types of lessons to suit the unique needs of each student. 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, low-level jumping, and Western Dressage. 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.
