Riding Lesson Options:
One-time introductory Private Lesson. This is a great way for nervous riders to start out with us. You will start with groundwork and spend a little time learning to groom your horse. Then you will mount up and spend the rest of your hour learning basic riding technique. Yuu can work one on one with a riding coach to discuss your riding goals. After your evaluation your coach can fill out an Evaluation Form so that we can place you into a group or semi-private lessons if you want to ride on a regular basis. 1 hour, $70
Ongoing Private Lessons. If because of special needs, or a very unusual schedule you must have ongoing private lessons, the price is $85 per class.
Semi-Private Lessons. 2-3 riders working with one instructor. This can be siblings or friends, or we can match you with another rider. Riders do not have to be exactly the same level as our staff is skilled at teaching riders with different experience levels. Most classes include some horsemanship and some riding. Semi-Private lessons can be one time, or on an ongoing basis. 1 hour, $60 per person.
Group Lessons. For riders who are willing to comit to a weekly program, group lessons are a great option. Groups are 4-6 riders of similar age and level who meet on a weekly basis. Riders must be able to ride independently to be invited into a group lesson.
A 1.5 hour group is $220 4 weeks (must be paid in advance). Longer classes may be available for advanced and dedicated students.
Group gaming lessons start at $300 per month.
Pony Time. Group fun for little riders. Designed for kids aged 3-7 years old. Each child must be assisted by an adult. Kids will groom the ponies and go on a fun pony ride. Most times we go on the pony path in the woods, but we can also ride in an arena if the group prefers. 45-60 minutes depending on the size of the group. $50 per child.
