Our western riding lessons focus on developing both riding ability and strong horsemanship. Riders learn not only how to ride, but also how to understand, care for, and communicate with horses.
Ages 5+
Lessons are available for children, teens, and adults, with riders grouped by age and experience.
Experienced Instructors
Our knowledgeable instructors create a supportive learning environment where riders feel safe, encouraged, and confident as they develop new skills.
1:1 and Small Groups
Riders benefit from personalized instruction through private lessons and small group classes.
Rider Level Program
Our structured rider level program helps students build skills step-by-step while working toward new horsemanship and riding milestones.
Lesson Structure
We begin new riders with one-on-one lessons so they can build confidence and learn the fundamentals in a supportive environment.
Beginner Lessons: New riders start with private 45-minute lessons where they learn horse handling, grooming, and basic riding skills.
Group Lessons: Once riders develop the necessary skills and confidence, they move into small group lessons (maximum 4 riders) that are one hour long.
