Horse Riding Lessons

All lesson payments must be made BEFORE the start time of each lesson. We accept Venmo, PayPal, cash, check. If payment is not received BEFORE the start of the lesson the student will not ride until payment is made.

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes BEFORE your lesson time to catch, groom, and tack the horse. Your lesson will still start and end at the appointed time at the same price.

If you are unable to attend your lesson, you must give us at least a 24 HOUR advance notice or you will still be charged in full for the lesson. This ensures we have enough time to fill that time slot.

A $5 discount is given to all students that can catch and tack the horse without help or supervision.

As part of the learning process the trainer will help every student learn to catch and tack the horse as part of the beginning stages of lessons. This ordinarily only takes 4-5 lessons.  If the student is under the age of nine years old or otherwise unable to catch, groom, saddle, and bridle their horse safely and on time, we will not provide this discount until they are able to do so without help or supervision. This decision is up to the trainer to decide and not up for discussion.

$5 fee applies to students who request that we catch/tack the horse if they happen to be running late. 

ASTM certified helmet required for all riders (we provide helmets to use until students purchase their own). Hard soled boots with a heel are required. Paddock boots with half chaps or tall boots are preferred. 

A liability release will need to be signed before every student's first ride.

All students start out in private lessons until the trainer is comfortable that the student is ready to move to a group lesson.

All students will start out learning to ride English. This makes it easier for students to learn Western later on if desired.

Our hours of lesson operation are Monday through Friday 9am - 9pm. We will not answer calls, texts, or emails outside of business hours. We are closed on weekends; the only exception is for substitute trainers, horse shows, fox hunts, and practice rides. We are closed on all major holidays. All visitors are by appointment only.

Please pull all the way into the driveway and park in the gravel lot between the three old barns. Do not park in the grass or on the narrow driveway at any time for any reason. 

Lessons are cancelled/rescheduled if temperatures fall below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or rise above 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Family and friends may watch your lesson with prior approval from the trainer. All guests must stay in the designated seating area during the duration of the lesson and not partake in coaching of any kind unless it is encouragement to their loved one. Guests may not be around the horses without signing a liability release.

Eligible to students taking at least one weekly lesson, riding at an advanced level, and able to catch, saddle, and bridle their horse without assistence. Practice rides may be done with prior permission on weekdays between 9am and 9pm when lessons are not in session, as well as on Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 5pm. We are closed on holidays. Trail rides permitted walk/trot on property only, or down our gravel road. Jumping permitted at 18 inch xrails only.

Please do not feed our horses treats unless permission is given each time by the barn owner.
