Horseback lesson: Ages 7 - adult

Our one-hour lesson is specifically designed for total beginners, up to children and adults with horse experience. This low-pressure program encourages progression and growth by presenting challenges that inspire rather than intimidate. Children are taught to learn at their own pace, receiving plenty of praise along the way. Instruction begins with the basics of go, stop, and steer while on a lead line, gradually advancing to the lunge line for improved balance and equitation, ultimately allowing them to ride independently in the arena. As they progress, children will have the opportunity to trot and, for more advanced riders, practice cantering. For adults, the program similarly focuses on building confidence and proficiency, starting lessons at a comfortable level to enhance balance and riding biomechanics. Embrace the joy of riding in a supportive and encouraging environment!
