Lessons are a great way to introduce your rider to horses or to polish your riding skills. All lesson horses have been carefully selected for safety and teaching abilities for our students. Lessons are taught in the indoor 70 x 110 arena year-round, and the viewing area is available for family and friends to relax and watch. My lessons are offered for a beginner rider to learn basic horsemanship, safety around horses, and how to develop a relationship with your horse. My intermediate lessons help the rider learn a broader skillset on what to ask from the horse and themselves. Then, my advanced lessons help drive the rider to the top levels and focus on how they can ride in unison with their horse. Lessons are available for all ages, starting at 4 years and up.
