If you or your child would like to participate in our regular riding lessons please send us an e-mail with "Lessons" in the subject line of your e-mail. If the slot you are interested in is full we can put you on a waiting list. The minimum age for group lessons is 7 - no max. The following is how we determine which class your child will be evaluated for placement: General Riding Levels: Intro Gait: Walk Goals: learning how to make the horse go, stop, and turn Beginner Gait: Walk/Trot Goals: learning how to post, diagonals, half seat Novice Gait: Walk/Trot/Canter Goals: learning how to sit the canter and canter leads Advanced Advanced techniques in riding Specialties Western Barrel Racing Intro Patterns at the walk Beginner Patterns at the trot Novice Patterns at the canter/gallop English Equitation (non-jumping) Intro Learn proper equitation on the rail Beginner Crossing the diagonal, 20 meter circle, rein back Novice Lead changes through the trot, flying lead changes, complex patterns Hunter Jumper Beginner Crossbars-18” verticals Novice 18”-2’3 verticals Advanced 2’3 and up Dressage Beginner Intro Test Novice Training Level Tests Advanced 1st-3rd Level Tests Each rider will be tested at each level before advancing to the next level - the rider will need to pass a written test as well as a ground and riding test. As they advance to new levels, testing will become more difficult and they will be required to pass the riding test on different horses as well. Please e-mail for more information or if you'd like to be placed on a waiting list. |
