Whether you're a first-time rider or looking to refine your skills, our lessons are tailored to your goals. We work with children as young as six, teens, and adults—from complete beginners to experienced riders preparing for shows. Our private lessons give you one-on-one attention, so you progress at your own pace.
Who We Teach
Our curriculum covers English and Western riding styles, with a focus on building a strong foundation: balanced seat, clear communication with your horse, and confidence in the saddle. As you advance, we introduce jumping, dressage, and cross-country skills. Every lesson is customized to your goals, whether you're riding for fun, fitness, or competition.
What You'll Learn
Safety is our top priority. All of our horses are carefully selected for their calm temperament and reliability. We match each rider with the right horse for their skill level and comfort. Our covered arena allows us to teach year-round in all weather conditions, and loaner helmets are always available.

Lesson Options & Pricing
Private lessons are $80 per rider and give you personalized, one-on-one instruction. Semi-private lessons (2–3 riders) are $70 per rider and are perfect for friends or siblings who want to learn together. We also offer leasing options for students who want more time in the saddle between lessons.
