Lessons are for one 45 minutes: Horses or ponies are chosen based on rider size and experience level. All lessons are western style riding. Beginners start with learning basic riding aides, walk trot transitions and stop and back. Intermediate to advanced riders will be taught to lope and may choose to learn barrels, poles and timed events. Advanced riders may chose to do trail rides in exchange for lessons or may be allowed to attend horse shows. Other fees will be applied to attend shows.
Lessons are during week nights and must be scheduled in advance
.As a reminder, and to help us keep overall costs to a minimum, please note the following:
Riders must arrive 10-15 min early for their lesson to allow time to tack up. When riders run late, it causes delays for lessons scheduled afterward. Therefore, if you are late, your lesson time will be adjusted accordingly. (If you are 15 min late to the ring then your lesson is cut short by 15 min.)
24-hour cancellation notice must be provided or there is a $15 cancellation fee (exceptions made for severe weather or emergency situations). When a lesson time is scheduled for you and you don’t show up, your instructor isn’t able to fill the time slot and doesn’t get paid.

For Students wishing to attend Horse Show using our horses. Student will pay all other expenses: Show fee's, meals, etc. Fee's are the same for other events such as trail rides or other Horse Activities. Students will be resposible for the care of the horse when travelling.
